The Fall - Silentium

No single kiss, nor touch, nor vow

Dare not say, yet you know how

So fair and tender came to be

Such sickening sight for me to see

My dark wishes and hate unleashed

Dissolution leads me astray

Utter yet sweet can’t be released

My path painted with scarlet stain

The chains of failure that I had borne

All the guilt ere has it torn

Out now this torment I’ve closed the wall

In life and death my word stands tall

The pain your lust has thrown to me

I shall return the suffering

I’ll tear your throat and let you bleed

With steel I’ll fill your every need

Come take my hand

I’ll give you all my pain

I’ll tempt you fain

Under my shining blade

Hilt in my hands

Woos me like blushing maid

Beauty of whores

By bodkin sharked and stained

From self-pity awoken, thus

Rewrote our names in crimson dusk

Grandeur and strength untouchable

In hate our oath unbreakable

I’ve reached too far, in darkness dwelled

Could I be saved, saved from myself?

Did I miss the point of no return?

Is this the light, or strength I yearned?

Set your fate in my hands and we will prevail

You’ll rise to the throne of lands, for you they shall hail

Come take my hand…
