Bleed This Earth - Bleed This Earth (2020)

LAY PRECIOUS, STILL
LEAVE IT SOAKING IN
THE POIGNANT, SENTIMENTAL LIGHT OF THIS ILLUSION

WHEN I'M STRIPPED AWAY
PLEASE REMEMBER ME
I KNOW YOU'LL WAIT TO SEE THE END OF THIS CONFUSION

AS I WASTE AWAY
BECOMING OLD AND THIN
YOUR HAIR, CHEEKS, YOUR BURNING EYES
WILL SOFTLY HAUNT ME

THE LONELY NIGHTS
EMPTY LIKE THE DAYS
WRONGLY CONVICTED FOR CRIME IN THIS PLACE

MY WORLD IS FLOODING FROM WITHIN
THE LIGHT BEYOND THE SURFACE CLOSING
BURY ME DEEP BENEATH THE STARS
AND LET ME LEAVE THIS WORLD OF OURS Открыть страницу с текстом

TRYING NOT TO SCREAM
DEVOURED ON THE INSIDE
THE GRUESOME SCENE BUT TURNED ME BLIND
DEFENSELESS BOY LYING BEATEN
A HELPLESS CRY TOO LATE

DOWN ON MY KNEES
I WITNESSED THE POOR THING DIE
THIS TWISTED CRIME A VILE DISGRACE
MIXED WITH BLOOD, A CRIMSON TEAR
LEFT UPON HIS FACE

WHERE CAN HE BE?
THE TROUBLED CREEP, STILL RUNNING FREE
EVERY NIGHT, THE HORRID SCENE I CANNOT SHAKE HANGS OVER ME
FOR SIXTEEN YEARS I’VE SERVED THIS DEVIOUS, UNHOLY MONSTER’S TIME Открыть страницу с текстом

IT CHIMES AGAIN
THE CHANCE TO SMELL FREE AIR
THE BELL, AS SWEET AS WINE
TALKS TO ME WHEN TIME IS STANDING STILL

MY BEATEN SOUL BEFORE THE SUN
IT SHINES SO BRIGHT
I HAVE TO CLOSE MY EYES
AND STAND IN AWE
AS RED AND GOLD FIGURES OF LIGHT DANCE
INTERTWINED, IT’S ONLY US I SEE

A FLEETING GLIMPSE OF A PAST LIFE
OPPRESSING ME, I WILL DIE HERE
WEARING DEFEAT, A STRONG MAN BROKEN
IMPOTENT, WEAK AND FEEBLE

I’LL NEVER TOUCH THE SEA
REST ON A MOUNTAIN PEAK
RUN LOOSE IN FORESTS DEEP
NEVER AGAIN BE FREE Открыть страницу с текстом

IT NEVER STOPS, THIS SYMPHONY
IN THE WAKE OF ABSOLUTION
SAVAGERY FLOODS BACK TO ME
THIS PLACE IS NOT LIKE I REMEMBERED

THE TREMBLING OF THEIR LIPS
AVERSION OF THE EYES
I’M HOME AT LAST

THEY THINK THAT IT WAS ME
WHO KILLED A HELPLESS CHILD
MY INNOCENCE MEANS NOTHING

TO FEAST UPON DISPLEASURE
LEER AT THE WEAK IN DARK DESPAIR
THROW ME THE GIFT OF MERCY
THEY SET ME FREE
I BELONG HERE

IT NEVER STOPS, THIS SYMPHONY
IN THE WAKE OF ABSOLUTION
DEPRAVITY HANGS OVER ME
THIS PLACE IS NOT LIKE I REMEMBERED Открыть страницу с текстом
