Marduk - Life's Emblem lyrics

Your rating:

Upon that storied marble cast thine eye

The scene commands a moralizing sigh

E�en in Areardias blessed Elysium plains

Amidst the laughing nymphs and sparkling flames

Life�s emblem here, in youth and vernal bloom

But reasons finger pointing at the�



See festal joy subside, with melting grace

And pity visit the half smiling face

Where now the dance, the hate, the nuptial feast

The passion throbbing in the lover�s breast

Life�s emblem here, in youth and vernal bloom

But reason�s finger pointing at the tomb!

Man: So say me noble stranger, what brings you here this night?

Death: I have come to release you from the bitter taste of life

Man: Why me? Why now? It cannot be my time

Death: Everything that falls to the ground is mine!

Upon that storied marble cast thine eye

The scene commands a moralizing sigh

E�en in Areardias blessed Elysium plains

Amidst the laughing nymphs and sparkling flames

See festal joy subside, with melting grace

And pity visit the half smiling face

Where now the dance, the hate, the nuptial feast

The passion throbbing in the lover�s breast

Life�s emblem here, in youth and vernal bloom

But reason�s finger pointing at the�



See festal joy subside, with melting grace

And pity visit the half smiling face

Where now the dance, the hate, the nuptial feast

The passion throbbing in the lover�s breast

Life�s emblem here, in youth and vernal bloom

But reason�s finger pointing at the tomb!

Man: But in youth am I still, and in flesh am I strong

Death: And I have a disease for every sin that you have done

Man: But I�ve done nothing wrong, nothing bad or untrue

Death: Neither God or Devil agrees with you!
