[words & music: Barthold] 



Singing that died away 

The nightingale silenced 

In this world, our decadence 

The sweetness turned sour 



Naked and bled 

Her blackened wings spread 

Feathers - burned and frayed 

Sore and sick she fades 



The nestling falls down 

Dead on earth 

As sickness takes hold 

Of the essence 



Naked and bled 

Her blackened wings spread 

Feathers - burned and frayed 

Sore and sick she fades 



Together we die 

Born unable 

Expose the filth 

Suppressed within
