Saturn and Sacrifice - While Heaven Wept

Predestined to suffer

A life of loneliness

Bearing the sorrow and sin

Agonizing death a compelled catharsis

I’ve crucified myself for you

With every tearstained page

Reprising the role of the damned

Every time I’ve bled upon the stage

No blessed mother weeps for me

As the nails split to the bone

A supposed savior of souls

Yet I cannot save my own

I’ve crucified myself for you

With every tearstained page

Reprising the role of the damned

Every time I’ve bled upon the stage

Scourged at the pillars of mockery

Broken and bleeding and crowned in thorns

Pierced by the spears of destiny

Bursting the heart of the forlorn

The call of the dawn rang thrice

And you had forsaken me

To die with a heart of ice

By the nails of prophecy

Banished from paradise

Into my hell so deep

Remember my sacrifice

Whenever heaven weeps
