lyrics

A sudden nightfall shakes the earthbound core
It was clear you could not take much more
Still breath rests silent on the frozen, mocking cold
Release yourself from life's unyielding stranglehold

Tell me the reason, why didn't you stay?
Forever seperated, I'll never be okay.
I have to know. I can't live out a lie.
Of all the people, why must it have been you to die?

Oh, this horrendous night!
Taking away the light that once was inside
An ungodly blight
Impossible to hide

Poisoned blood ran strong to your broken, battered heart
Much too soon the reaper called; No choice but to depart
Now visit God and sit before his loving hand
As tears of loved ones spread your ashes on the sand

One soul departs too fast
To gaze from Heaven's gate
Why can't you be here longer?
Why can't you bear to wait?

Filled with nothing but pain and anguish
Conspiring to create your destined end
And here we cry
Under the clouded, weeping sky
And I couldn't even say goodbye
When I found you in that room
Oh what a horrific sight
To see what once was alive but from now no longer
Cannot handle the aftermath
Taking down the pictures from the walls to lie them still in a box
Removing belongings and mementos
As if this had never happened and repressing you in my mind
But I cannot condemn your actions
All I can do is attempt to understand
Yet it's too much to think about going forward
And this tragedy will shape me to my grave

As a fan of Funeral Doom, which isn't a common genre to find, this album is very highly recommended by me. If you are a fan of Esoteric or other more progressive Funeral Doom bands, you will appreciate this offering. malelude
