Death And The Lament - To Decay Through The Earth Lyrics
Of any eyes that one could not forgetA face left within the dark, embodied through nothing but a voiceThis creature that dwells upon the shadeAnd when time stopped, "There is a way that you can save her"."I have walked the Earth, since the dawn of blood was forgedI will take you amongst the past, and you’ll see defined, rebirthThe most sore and ripened place that only you would understandAnd I have been there; now place upon your fingertipsThis 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 peaceBut, for what? I do not understand these words or woundsMidst in battle, I must prepare to drench this bladeWithin a blink he has disappeared, and ILeft within a war of constant loss, from which none will gainI spread my wings and make my peaceThe pain, how it grows as the pieces do begin to fitFor every breath, I’d trade them all for you to takeIf this darkness will fade, will you be able to let me insideAnd then, I will become your blood, your brain, your heartIf 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 shadowAt this window you’ll find an entrance to the only road that’s leftBut do understand, this has not yet brought the end of meIn the next line of night I will be there waiting".As before, gone with a blinkMy hands upon the window sillI looked behind to find nothing, save for a wallSo these curtains must be drawnOh 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 theNatureOf which I must draw the blood of all I despise, a poison made by whomPurged my hands and threw me upon the starsIf only they knew I was granted such dark wingsAs I walk through the thousands it seemsThey all fall before my stepsAnd their blood in vainAs they will never see the beauty of the EarthThe blood of the earth once sleptBut now it awakes for whomHad purged my hands out of envyIf only they could open their eyesThey’d see, I was granted such dark, dark wings
