Tristesse (of Cardinals And Skeletons) Lyrics

Tristesse (of Cardinals And Skeletons) lyrics

Blood red skies like a messenger of doom



Skeletons on parade in villages on fire



Divine maidens suffering from the plague



Apocalypse my friend put these cities into dust







Dust on coffin lits



Tales never told



Citizens living in cages of glass



Writing poetry in the fields of bretagne



But hear the cries of a distant battle







Cardinals in decay and Gods who failed everywhere



Nero's fiddle distuned, Rome into flames







With wings wide spread I wish to fly



Like an eagle embracing the sky



Dying during a final flight



Oh deliver me from life







Plundering savages drunk with bloodlust



Knights in armour now long vanished







Jesters holding the crown



Noblesse fading away



Noblesses fading







Blood red skies like a messenger of doom



Skeletons on parade in villages on fire



Divine maidens suffering from the plague



Apocalypse my friend put these cities into dust







Dust on coffin lits



Tales never told



Citizens living in cages of glass







Writing poetry in the fields of Bretagne



But hear the cries of a distant battle







Cardinals in decay



Gods who failed everywhere



Gods who failed...



TRISTESSE!
