Skyclad - Single Phial lyrics
Your rating:
I have walked the earth so many times before your birth, Today is only yesterday's tomorrow. And as a Gardner in Eden it was i who sowed the seed then I've come to reclaim this life you borrow. Singing 'ring a ring o' rosies' for your final lullabye, Have you any prayers to make before you wave your last goodbye ? I bring 'a pocket full o' posies' - lay a wreath to ease my guilt, As the light's go out forever not one drop of blood was spilt. [Chorus:] As yet unwritten history - Once more i stride the lightning road Identity a mystery - My burden is Pandora's load. Traversing endless centuries - Disguised behind Death's lipless smile, I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial. I'd have rather seen your face almost any other place Still here we meet - always the way in this profession And as i gaze into your eyes - i see the glimer within dies, From ther moment i first make my dark confession. How could i swear i would be there for you, until your dying day, Certain in the knowledge that it's not that far away? So you leave me sitting here bewildered as a new dead ghost, While i try to justify destroying that which i love most. As yet unwritten history - Once more i stride the lightning road Identity a mystery - My burden is Pandora's load. Traversing endless centuries - Disguised behind Death's lipless smile, I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial. The dark millenium is ending - final daze of the decayed And a reign of tears is falling - it's the judgement eve parade. Though I wash my hands a thousand times - still the guilt remains, She stole my heart - I took her life ... (And yet i never knew her name). As yet unwritten history - Once more i stride the lightning road Identity a mystery - My burden is Pandora's load. Traversing endless centuries - Disguised behind Death's lipless smile, I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial. Out with a whimper - not with a bang. And they all gathered round while the church bell rang. Singing 'bring out your dead' they 'll stretch for miles, To be bourne to their graves in single files. [Chorus:] As yet unwritten history - Once more i stride the lightning road Identity a mystery - My burden is Pandora's load. Traversing endless centuries - Disguised behind Death's lipless smile, I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial.
