Sympathy - Surrounded By The Dead lyrics

rate me

the ancient dead have surrounded me

their fleshless hands are upholding me

such a great cloud of the dead elect

they held the flame, passed it unto me

tortured and killed by heathen hands

facing their death, they did not recant

I can endure and remain to the end

I am a nexus for the dead and man

tasting death and tasting sorrows

yet they did endure

facing torment, facing judgment

yet I shall endure

I am promised my own portion

of the weight they bore

I embrace the pain and suffering

for me that's assured

the ancient dead have surrounded me and they strengthen me

their fleshless hands are upholding me with their firm grasp

their lives were spent for the hidden truths that belong to me

I am one of the few who was chosen for this arcane path
