Lilitu Unhallowed Be Thy Shame Lyrics

Unhallowed Be Thy Shame Lyrics

The claims of the living on behalf of the dead



In the clasping of hands, holding on to your breath



With every breath a lie a lie as cold as a death



Proffered kisses and faded flowers



Grazing your lips and bonds as ours



With every word you speak



Your request, my command







Treat me as if I am No one, nothing



Not Born at all



Inevitable, I will keep crawling back to you



I 'm bound to fall







I will fall into oblivion



I've given all



and now I'm broken down and bruised and battered



Torn and tattered weakened by your beauty



That I can't overcome



And I am still bleeding







Hiding behind your veil of empty promises 



On broken vows on behalf of the blind



You reclaim your innocence and guilt now binds us together



Forever and Ever







Unhallowed Be Thy Shame



With Shallow words and hollow eyes



I have given all that's left to give to you



And taken only the suffering you've shown



And the damage done that you've left behind







hate, detest, abhor



All the things that you adore



disfavor, despise



Harvesting such lucid lies







Loathing the empyrean corners that surround my body



And keep me intertwined against the cold hard beating



of your heart



I shall remain a disciple, a giver, never a receiver of truth or forgiveness



Because I am not worthy



I am not worthy of feeling love



Or the pleasant gesture of a smile



Only revealing the damage that you've caused







Unhallowed be thy shame



With shallow words and hollow eyes



I have given all that's left to give to you



And taken only the suffering you've shown



And the damage done that you left behind
