Nightingale - Still Alive lyrics

I'm taken through the hourgla** I'm being tossed upon the sand Am I alone The words still linger In my head I'm breathing in the salty air There is a mark upon my hand Is there a seat for me Among the dreaming dead I was sealed in a tomb of sadness I was trapped in a cell of sleep I was held by the hands of time Now this time is mine to keep I'm still alive Far from the casket and cradle I'm still alive I've taken the fate out of fatal I'm still alive They tied me to the pendulum They hung my heart across the sky I found my soul eclipsed My body crucified I was caged in the age of miracles I was set in a hollow sky I was kept under shadow's lock Now I don't know how to die I'm still alive Far from the casket and cradle I'm still alive I've taken the fate out of fatal I'm still alive My star is rising now As the ferryman appears He bears an offering A piece of silver for my fears I couldn't cut the deal Mine is not his fate to buy And as I fly my canvas He ascends on high Shattering the Earth and the Heavens (I feel his icy breath of Fire consuming me) Shattering the Earth and the Heavens (The demon rises up, a bird Of coal and flame) Shattering the Earth and the Heavens (I am surrounded by the Wings of water now) Shattering the Earth and the Heavens (They've come to lift me out of here) I'm still alive Far from the casket and cradle I'm still alive I've taken the fate out of fatal I'm still alive
