Lingering Death

Don't even bother asking why
Bow your head a scream a sigh
Far ahead you hear a chime
in your head you do realize
That it is the time
that you must die

Roots cover this sacred path
Underneath your feet you pass
Onward towards hell you go at last
Your sins and lies you do caress
you have failed the holy test

Cold frost of winter you crave
Summer's warmth you did not save
You love the cold embrace
A darkest desire that burns with fire

Perverted mind devoid of shame
Into darkness you finally fade
Walls of black pitch surround your fate
For you salvation came too late
