Carved In Stone

Angels fall from the sky
Victims of tyranny
Kicked from celestial seats

Come what may when tears do fall
Like a cascade of pounding rain
Thrice damn all when hearts do stall
I swoon when seraphim embrace the taint

Stars shine brighter
When doom befalls us
The bones get whiter
Laid amidst the dust

Standing at the precipice
See the void looking back at you
Giants beaten down at least
To the point where they, at last, see the truth

The goodness and godless
Succumb to death's caress
And dying of lovers
Then the tears spill over
The laughter and slaughter
Bastard sons and daughters
Divulging, converging
On paths where they're merging
Mortals damned in the past
Now I will die at last

Prophecies have sealed my fate
Obituary carved in stone
Speaks of sadness, grief and hate
Already damned for sins I can't atone

Self destruction
At these bloodied hands
The heart's corruption
Feeds this broken man

When the voices speak venom
Dipped words into my bleeding ears
I try to block the demon
But his howling screams is all that I hear

The goodness and godless
Succumb to death's caress
And dying of lovers
Then the tears spill over
The laughter and slaughter
Bastard sons and daughters
Divulging, converging
On paths where they're merging
Mortals damned in the past
Now I will die at last

Inflict tortures on myself
Into the dark, nightly, I dwell
Swilling on tainted water
Reading the augur
Telling of the doom
That comes not all too soon

The goodness and godless
Succumb to death's caress
And dying of lovers
Then the tears spill over
The laughter and slaughter
Bastard sons and daughters
Divulging, converging
On paths where they're merging
Mortals damned in the past
Now I will die at last

Angels fall from the sky
Victims of tyranny
Kicked from celestial seats

Tear drops fall to the ground
Conceived by misery
Consuming all, strong and weak
