Nameless Book

This haunting, metaphorical ballad explores the profound cost of redemption and sacrifice, where a narrator unlocks a ancient ledger of forgotten souls — freeing the lost through painful embrace of shadow and suffering — only to fade themselves as one soul ascends to light while another remains eternally bound to guard the sacred, hollow ground. Lyrics: A heavy ledger lies beneath the dust of time No title carved in leather worn and blind Just phantom ink on pages turning sallow Where every heartbeat writes a crooked line They wander through the fog of lost embraces Whose stolen names were written by the pen Searching for the light to touch their faces And guide them to the golden sun again The prophecy sleeps deep in thorn and briar Where one could break the binding of the seal But mercy burns like embers in the pyre And every freedom cuts with edges real The ink still thirsts for names it can remember The iron gate now creaks on rusted hinge To save the bird caught in the storm's surrender You must embrace both shadow and the singe One walks into the dawn so bright and holy One stays to guard the hollow sacred ground The ledger shifts its weight so slow and lowly As lost are found and seekers become bound I traced the script of sorrow old and narrow Felt ghostly whispers tremble through my skin Traded all my bright tomorrows borrowed To free the weary and let lonely in The lock gave way with thunder soft and hollow The chains like salt dissolved into the gray They rose up from their slumber dark and sallow I watched my own reflection fade away The ink still thirsts for names it can remember The iron gate now creaks on rusted hinge To save the bird caught in the storm's surrender You must embrace both shadow and the singe One walks into the dawn so bright and holy One stays to guard the hollow sacred ground The ledger shifts its weight so slow and lowly As lost are found and seekers become bound #dark #gothic #metal #progressivemetal #fantasy
