Dancing in Madness

Uncontested Dripping personification The putrid liquid Washing all away In the edge of mind Lurks bleak sacred monster Null incarnate Defeater the way Locked within a spell This ritual repeats itself again The drained one dancing in madness Inverse horizon stretched out before the shivering frenzy The serpent whispers And the haze must return Again the moments stop Replaced by falsehood Perverted image Of the self arise, impure Non beginning In a self-fulfilling doomsday Believe in your own end And your wish will be fulfilled Unforgiveness thrives We cannot survive Time -- we'll pay the price You will not survive Finished In the dying of the flame A solitary piece Remainder of the sane A shattered bell In shadows still rings And the night crying bird Laments the loss of its wings Even alone The wretched voice still calls On a not too distant day The sky is soon to fall The wounded one may try to search for sleep Even in deepest night The softest voice will sing When all but night has gone And hands are filled with dust There's no one else Who can take the blame For those deeds are yours alone And everything has gone away In ceaseless erosion In the languid sand The seeds of pain Are sown to grow once again --- Dancing in Madness - Pallbearer
