We have lied to the truth and slept in burning beds Contemplating the distance between uncertain life and death Chained to an existence that consists of eternal strife A black veil of endless suffering begs to clothe me Through which i perceive the emptiness of reality Bereft of emotion A dying whisper of a dying life My mind is poisoned with visions of the end As i drag my heels through the dirt to which I am condemned A shred of bliss, remains untouchable still Struggling with hopes the future can't fulfill A black veil of endless suffering begs to clothe me Through which I perceive the emptiness of reality Bereft of emotion A dying whisper of a dying life The soil has a thirst for blood Return my body the earth Baptize me in fire Commit me to the ground
