Death And The Lament
Death And The Lament - To Decay Through The Earth lyrics
Your rating:
Of any eyes that one could not forget A face left within the dark, embodied through nothing but a voice This creature that dwells upon the shade And when time stopped, "There is a way that you can save her". "I have walked the Earth, since the dawn of blood was forged I will take you amongst the past, and you’ll see defined, rebirth The most sore and ripened place that only you would understand And I have been there; now place upon your fingertips This year, do you recall everything I’d left for you? Amongst two others, those pieces broken are now yours to place" I spread my wings and make my peace But, for what? I do not understand these words or wounds Midst in battle, I must prepare to drench this blade Within a blink he has disappeared, and I Left within a war of constant loss, from which none will gain I spread my wings and make my peace The pain, how it grows as the pieces do begin to fit For every breath, I’d trade them all for you to take If this darkness will fade, will you be able to let me inside And then, I will become your blood, your brain, your heart If I could bring back time do you know how wealthy I’d be? "When you unfold the blinds will you embrace the last day? Now, there lies the light that must come to break this shadow At this window you’ll find an entrance to the only road that’s left But do understand, this has not yet brought the end of me In the next line of night I will be there waiting". As before, gone with a blink My hands upon the window sill I looked behind to find nothing, save for a wall So these curtains must be drawn Oh why have I come unto a path which is left to be met at an end? And behind the window, has already faded with dust, I can’t describe the Nature Of which I must draw the blood of all I despise, a poison made by whom Purged my hands and threw me upon the stars If only they knew I was granted such dark wings As I walk through the thousands it seems They all fall before my steps And their blood in vain As they will never see the beauty of the Earth The blood of the earth once slept But now it awakes for whom Had purged my hands out of envy If only they could open their eyes They’d see, I was granted such dark, dark wings
