Gossamer - Ash and Petrichor lyrics
Your rating:
Will our deaths prove a righteous will, in this act of grand vanity? The bloody birth of noble chagrin; a death knoll is promised to thee First rain upon a tyrant’s stain - The flag burns laughing like a witch Temple of the trampled Bloody sun reaping its rays The harlot on the dolman Pitiful tears for fallen dreams The mirror brings light to dark corners, my reflection collapses to dust When I too face reckoning, will this dreaded nightmare be fact? The maiden gestures strangely in the corner; “Kill and don’t look back” My body means nothing to me; this flesh may hold, but I’ll never stop The worms of my grave greet me early Death deserted boundaries long ago Better luck to my usurper; tidings of venomous encouragement Shrouding the past in a bloodbath - Setting fire to the family tree For hatred is a succubus; a gaping maw like Charybdis I’m forbidden to search for my purpose, the purpose finds me broken and naked May this blackness find me worthless and spit me back out in the stars Our pains kindred and divergent Scars brand a mocking birth The rain brings with it winds of clarity In the fog, I slit my throat and we establish our pleasantries A cloak downwind flies for hope; set it ablaze to seek them out A cloak downwind flies for hope; fields are razed, make clear the route My body means nothing to me; this flesh may hold, but I’ll never stop The worms of my grave greet me early Death deserted boundaries long ago - Its’ cape downwind devours hope It captures her gaze and drags us all into the light
