Cold as Perfection - Fleshgod Apocalypse

In this passing world

There’s no time to regret

Life’s too fast to fold

So why lie to yourself

‘cause there’s nothing more

«Can't you see my light?»

That what mirrors behold

«Don't speak, let me shine bright»

You, my flower blown by the whispers of age

Beauty in the storm that relentlessly fades

Cold through the winter of life

Pulled down below into an ocean of lies

My withering rose

What a dreadful curse

Cast by nature on life

Nothing lasts forever

Can’t turn back the hands of time

Like a grain of sand

«Pray for me my Lord»

In its hourglass awaits

«For the burden I hold»

For the very end when all torments decay

And the vanity will leave your heart in peace

Cold through the winter of life

Pulled down below into an ocean of lies

My withering rose

«My lady listen to your beloved King

I can see your eyes are now scared

And veiled by the mist of despair

Do not be conquered by your own fears

Don’t let the illusion of perfection seduce you

Or you will be lost forever»

Cold through the winter of life

Pulled down below into an ocean of lies

My withering rose

Desperate while my youth fades away

Sorrow is dragging my soul down

There’s no word you can say to save me

My love
