In Aeternum Lyrics

In Aeternum lyrics

Tearstained are the halls of my empty soul



Melancholia's haunting call is the only one I have known



Innocence has lead me into this void



While years eroded a youth I never enjoyed



Through childhood I slept unsheltered from the scorn



Now I've awakened with age to love ever lorn



Forever and ever I'll search for the solace



Which can only be found in an embrace







In throes of desolation I prayed unto divinity



I endured the emptiness and frigid pain but even god had forsaken me



I prayed to find a solace for my heart bereaved



Only to be forgotten by the god I once believed



Now I serve this punishment under the ice condemned



For my loss of faith to hell I was damned



Downfallen in iniquity, desolate I'll be



My somber stare traverses sepulchers lonely







Eternally, my limbs sealed in place 



Livid, and dead I bow my face



The only shelter from the cold



Of the ninth circle of hell







To see what awaits in forever



A lifeless gaze, my final endeavor



I looked through the blackened skies



And beheld the radiance of paradise



My eyes have frozen in false sanctity 



Eternally bound, my tears have turned to ice
