That humiliating arbitrary adjudicator Your cruelty builds in an endless cycle of decrepitude Skin slackens with each passing seconds Flesh weakens and softens Bones stiffen in agony Dreams dissolve Hopes slough A blackened pulp of deepest despair A mind enfeebled and afraid Gazes back upon a path of waste and regret Gazes ahead only to t he cold and the empty
All will fall All will fail All will fall All will fail
And so with each heavy, broken-backed step I inch closer to my reckoning Sinews stiff, sloughing, sagging Resonating with slow decay like catgut strings Draped across a stave of rotting timber
The cathedral looms... Tearing, oppressive, stentorian Cries once echoed in the chapels of cold stone Where cowled figures dripped with feverish piety And candles of reverence flickered in the torpid darkness of unanswered prayers
Stoic monolith that bleeds black redemption Onyx shroud shed like skin Penance driven into the maw of the soil Stygian crust that chokes on the carcasses of the forgotten
There is no room here Suffocation... Rejection...
A hopeless soul slithers in vapid vestibules Echoes Silhouettes Fading notions of what once breathed false proclamations Granite shaped by the echoes of supplication Myriad visages gaze in judgement A solemn phalanx stands as one One singular totem of accusation Choral, somnolent striking the marrow Of a soul laced with corrosive regret
Guilty - Pathetic - Cringing Crushed by stone Withering within the inquisition cloisters The last shreds of waning hope thus scatter
I cannot see what lurks within these sepulchral shadows Emanating whispers of a thousand past condemnations
One thousand past condemnations!
Freezing hands reach - coiling, cloying
My name is but dust
And I flee againTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
