Epicedium Lyrics

Epicedium lyrics


the ashen people cry
they sigh in vain for life
and tears from tired
eyes are falling
filling ponds with grief
bitter thoughts they
bleed
gloomy water fills the seas

these repentant blackened
souls
all sentenced to deplore
the malicious deeds in mortal life
on
what they now redeem
the baneful essence feeds
growing strong - awaits
release

with tears they raise the seeds
knowing -
condemned they
watch it grow
in this eternal sleep
creating the reality

dim
heartbeats moaning chime
send shivers down my spine
can this be real - I
hear the breathing
a distant rumble roars
it rumbles cross the
moors
the ground beneath me fels alive

with tears they raise the
seeds
knowing -
condemned they watch it grow
in this eternal
sleep
creating the reality

a serenade of death and pain
is playing
in my head
the ashen people fades away
and nothing seems the same

I
face a bloodred sky
I sense the silent time
a vision from the past is
calling
a child of misery
a book of sand I see
it's like a dream
within a dream

with tears they raise the seeds
knowing -
condemned
they watch it grow
in this eternal sleep
creating the reality
