Dawn breaks down, dead but alive A gaunt expression, of the end Burned out, wasted, empty, hollow Today's just yesterdays tomorrow Your sun dried out, the ashes sifted But you're still here, warped and twisted As time went by, your face grew sad Don't you know ? You're already dead…already dead
Pure I lived in normality, from the code of common sense I'm free But I relased reality, my world now flickers grotesquely I lived a blind man's life in bliss, somewhere night and day between The wounds of unlived dreams don't heal, as waiflike memories they appeal
Fear comes ripping through the night, corrodes me slowly by and by Tried in vain to see the sky, with my eyes closed, I prowl the night Velvet words hiss through my mind, they grow louder as I lay In the womb of phantom madness - On this Necropolitan day
The portal of the mind's eye open, now I'm christlike, whipped and broken A thousend fattened years gone by and nothing's changed or rearranged Stillborn dreams born by a fool, strangled by everyday's concessions Creates a dreadful constellation of paralysing cold frustration
Fear comes ripping through the night, corrodes me slowly by and by Tried in vain to see the sky, with my eyes closed, I prowl the night Velvet words hiss through my mind, they grow louder as I lay In the womb of phantom madness - On this Necropolitan day
As I dwell in this darkened room, I lift the worlds weight on my back I broke the seal of contemplation, all that's left is desperation Frozen movements in the night, behind the veil of loneliness I feed on melancholy thoughts, no place to run no place to hide
I'm the master of disguise, hid all my wishes and my passions As they stumble onto surface, took me with them and they break me Even bitter things seek meaning, they grow louder as I lay In the womb of perfect madness - On this Necropolitan day
Leave o leave me to my sorrows - Here I'll sit and fade away 'Til I'm nothing but a spirit - And I lose this form of clay Once a dream did weave a shade - On my angel guarded bed Troubled wildered and forlorn - dark, benighted, sorrowborn.
