Lyrics
Find another songStarless
And darkness waning slowly
A cold enigma
Would move me forward
O hapless life!
Now I pledge to you
All secrets revealed now
In paragraphs
Trust me
Over time you will heal
Spit on or tend to my grave
A man saved from a damnation's winter
And the corpse of your father was entombed
He is my haunting phantasma and my plague
Conjured up persecution of my virtue
My internal collapse and spiritual leprosy
A lord juggernaut
Like the bearer of death
Waiting
Decrepit strategies set
Contaminating
Eating bits of my wretched throne
Forevermore
I found no traction in this haze
Defiled, I'd long for sleep
A tainted family
In a tainted sanctuary
How could I justify my reasoning?
A grave mistake
I sunk in cold back light
He was of inferior class
A servant to me
Ha! The irony in this perverted odyssey
If our father's word is true, we are bastards too
It's a riddle?
No!
Or a caper?
No!
A mockery?
No!
A deception!
No!
And my sickly daughter looking on bewildered
A jewel in our hierarchy
My exalted successor
Rise!
In my life
I've asked of you
Take care of your kin, child
And her blood runs in mine
Over time you will kneel
Over time you will kneel
Rid your throes from this coronation in reverence
Uprooted you are
And in the summary coming
The proverbial sanctum of mine is up for debate
The execution of will
The crowning of an heiress
You are tethered to command
A requiem devised and signed by hand
You are tethered to command
A requiem devised and signed by hand
