This blood flows thick with the dust of years This vain catharsis of bitter tears This inner sanctum of human hands Can't give me shelter, it will not stand
Velvet walls conceal the crown of thorns from me Rise, faint heart and lift your eyes to see the light has come
This burden carried, too great to bear This flesh decaying borne of despair This cruel affliction: the raven sky Bring me salvation or watch me die
Velvet walls conceal the crown of thorns from me Rise, faint heart and lift your eyes to see the light has come
(x2) Quell the river's flow, bury me below Take this cup from me, filled with memories Can this life be saved from the silent grave? Tear the raven sky, bring light to these eyes
Quell the river's flow, bury me below all that once I desired Take this cup from me, filled with memories reaching out from the fire Can this life be saved from the silent grave yearning for me to come to the end? Tear the raven sky, bring light to these eyes Searching for a way out of this hell
This blood flows thick with the dust of years This vain catharsis of bitter tears This cruel affliction: the raven sky Bring me salvation or watch me die
(x2] Velvet walls conceal the crown of thorns from me Rise, faint heart and lift your eyes to see the light has come
