lyrics
== Part I: Obscuration ==
Look to the shadow in the east,
Your pockets emptied by the needy and the weak.
And then the world with shudder, drop you to your knees,
Your life is fading with your power and your greed
It's Just your tears on the ground,
They wash the earth and save it,
It's just the world let you down,
Don't think your heart can take it...
From a point of existence,
From a point of existence.
Was it worth it rich man?
The lives you crushed - the dreams you shattered just the same,
And can you feel the needy write beneath your feet?
You walked all over them - everyone you meet.
It's Just your tears on the ground,
They wash the earth and save it,
It's just the world let you down,
Don't think your heart can take it...
From a point of existence,
From a point of existence.
== Part II: Ascension ==
Death greets you warm, wipe the teardrops from my eyes,
Up above the clouds, you see the world pass by.
And as you walk you see the dark turn into light,
From my point of existence tonight.
Wake up before me, hide starlight from the sky,
Speak to me softly, chase demons from my mind.
Behind the door burns a candle in the night,
From your point of existence tonight.
== Part III: Purgatory ==
It's Just your tears on the ground,
They wash the earth and save it,
It's just the world let you down,
Don't think your heart can take it...
From a point of existence,
From a point of existence.
== Part IV: The Fall ==
Now my time has come - waste my life away
I had lost my way - mind has gone astray
Pennies on my eyes - paying for my life
Ivy on my grave - too late to be saved
Body turned to clay - now you have your way
== Part V: Otherworld ==
A man consumed by greed, held to reason by tragedy.
Treads are woven then torn from the stem,
time an infinite shard sliced between the fire of life and my own existence.
I sleep yet I do not dream - I yearn yet I do not live.
Now you're alone, your days are over
Your last words carved in stone.
A heartless demon - all around you quaked in fear,
No-one holds you near.
Gazing at the sky - and those that wronged you - they know you're gonna die.
A path you followed and it led you to your death - draw your last breath...
It's Just your tears on the ground,
They wash the earth and save it,
It's just the world let you down,
Don't think your heart can take it...
From a point of existence,
From a point of existence.
Look to the shadow in the east,
Your pockets emptied by the needy and the weak.
And then the world with shudder, drop you to your knees,
Your life is fading with your power and your greed
It's Just your tears on the ground,
They wash the earth and save it,
It's just the world let you down,
Don't think your heart can take it...
From a point of existence,
From a point of existence.
Was it worth it rich man?
The lives you crushed - the dreams you shattered just the same,
And can you feel the needy write beneath your feet?
You walked all over them - everyone you meet.
It's Just your tears on the ground,
They wash the earth and save it,
It's just the world let you down,
Don't think your heart can take it...
From a point of existence,
From a point of existence.
== Part II: Ascension ==
Death greets you warm, wipe the teardrops from my eyes,
Up above the clouds, you see the world pass by.
And as you walk you see the dark turn into light,
From my point of existence tonight.

Speak to me softly, chase demons from my mind.
Behind the door burns a candle in the night,
From your point of existence tonight.
== Part III: Purgatory ==
It's Just your tears on the ground,
They wash the earth and save it,
It's just the world let you down,

From a point of existence.
