๐ Lyrics
Our children slowly crossing a bridge between the time
The scavengers are roaming o'er this land of mine
I see the young ones tremble, wary of the fall
No matter how I labour, I'll never save them all
Diseases of the mind rise like worms will from the meat
Sown as a pestilence by the insects of deceit
I watch onset of decay
A slow rot
Why must we die in this way?
I wish it not
I hear the shallow breathing of the hopeless walking dead
Blood caked beneath his fingernails and maggots in his head
Drained, arid veins and still heart
A corpse so weak
Pain, birds rip bodies apart
With hungry beaks
A neck too rotten to lift his head up to the sky
To see the raven circling come to pluck out his eyes
As we walk among the dessicated husks left of our kin
Their weak hands claw to dig their sickness in my skin
The fight has taken it's toll
My eyes grow weary now
So I deny ever having seen the light
Above my head the birds are circling the earth
So cold, so bare, there's naught for them to eat but me and mine
Cry, accept your predestined fate
Be consumed
Die, before death be prostrate
Accept your doom
The decomposing masses, the dying willing slaves
Plagued by the worm and the raven they clamour for their graves
Dark, pray while meeting the end
My soul I'll keep
Embark, through agony I'll descend
To endless sleep
The scavengers are roaming o'er this land of mine
I see the young ones tremble, wary of the fall
No matter how I labour, I'll never save them all
Diseases of the mind rise like worms will from the meat
Sown as a pestilence by the insects of deceit
I watch onset of decay
A slow rot
Why must we die in this way?
I wish it not
I hear the shallow breathing of the hopeless walking dead
Blood caked beneath his fingernails and maggots in his head
Drained, arid veins and still heart
A corpse so weak
Pain, birds rip bodies apart
With hungry beaks
A neck too rotten to lift his head up to the sky
To see the raven circling come to pluck out his eyes
As we walk among the dessicated husks left of our kin
Their weak hands claw to dig their sickness in my skin
The fight has taken it's toll
My eyes grow weary now
So I deny ever having seen the light
Above my head the birds are circling the earth
So cold, so bare, there's naught for them to eat but me and mine
Cry, accept your predestined fate
Be consumed
Die, before death be prostrate
Accept your doom
The decomposing masses, the dying willing slaves
Plagued by the worm and the raven they clamour for their graves
Dark, pray while meeting the end
My soul I'll keep
Embark, through agony I'll descend
To endless sleep
