All Is Forbidden

lyrics

All Is Forbidden

The tide was high and so was I
And the moon came tumbling down
I was looking for my trophies
They were nowhere to be found

All my ambition had been
Choked beyond belief
Buried without thinking
In the garden of a thief

All is forbidden
In plain sight but hidden
Near but far these secrets
Are a million miles away

All is forbidden in
Plain sight but hidden
Near but far these secrets
Are a million miles away

One last trial go down the aisle
The silver towers bend
Leading to forever where
There’s nothing to defend

No one sits in silence
To await what’s always gone
Dying of salvation
In the absence of the dawn

All is forbidden
In plain sight but hidden
Near but far these secrets
Are a million miles away

All is forbidden
In plain sight but hidden
Near but far these secrets
Are a million miles away
