Elder Misanthophy Lyrics

Elder Misanthophy lyrics

wisdom infinite, held tightly in my grasp

my sword one thousand battles strong

ageless i remain, beyond the reach of death

indebted by my soul



i have witnessed the birthing of your faith

the tribulations, the driving of the stake

so slowly this immortal coil unwinds

until the end -- the end of fucking time



blood of the ancient one is burning through my veins

the blood of gods man's never known

i am the one who cannot die

i am the the killer for all time

seeds of infinite hate i've sown



i walk the earth enshrouded in its darkness

eclipsing, i claim the flesh of man

ageless i remain with vengeance on my breath

revolted by the meek



i have witnessed the birthing of your faith

the tribulations, the driving of the stake

so slowly this immortal coil unwinds

this crumbing world -- has become mine



see the creation of this world

see it all reduced to ash

in the blink of a sunken eye

i see one hundred winters pass

my blessing, my curse

perpetually i'm damned to earth

of a soul i am bereft

forever dying to be dead



slipping through centuries untouched by human love

void of the simple pleasures that human life provides

forever bound, i lie in wait, undying -- and insane



see the creation of this world

see it all reduced to ash

in the blink of a sunken eye

i see one hundred winters pass

my blessing, my curse

perpetually i'm damned to earth

of a soul i am bereft

forever dying to be dead!
