Chasm Songtext

von Weeping Birth

For young blood proves ignorant
Never trust the innocent
On this island of artificial light
Slowly gnawed by blight

I built a kingdom of ingenuousness
Pride and foolishness
Soon to be betrayed
Waiting for the blade

Suddenly Hatred pounced on me
And scourged my feeble body
As that night I saw the rider
My existence slowly turned darker and darker

Opening wide glassy eyes
I saw plagues invade and I saw wolves in the holy land

Anguish begun to suffocate me
As underwent my fallacy
Ravens surrounding me singing sweet sadness
I slowly sank into the depths of madness

Turned away, repulsed: I have been betrayed and cursed
My flesh become so cold and my mind so old
Endlessly raped by Death I lost all kind of faith
Consumed by a lethal fire I saw my demons cluster
In a deep voice fate imposed its harsh choice
Tortured in rapture I summon the hovering vultures
As a blind statue choked me, in pride, in ecstasy
I repelled solace and life and in darkness dived

Now coming closer to the supreme blame
I comprehend its shame
Under the sniggers of the Dead
To my life I desperately put an end
