The Meads Of Asphodel - 80 Grains Of Sand lyrics

rate me

O death in thee I have found<br />

& Found in thee alone<br />

The silent bane of emptiness<br />

This sorrow 'till now unknown.<br />

<br />

In the name of God, Allah, Odin<br />

And devils one and all, <br />

I call upon their faceless forms<br />

To resurrect my soul.<br />

<br />

In death I face my deepest fear<br />

Alone I waste away, <br />

No God will come this dying day<br />

To take me from my grave.<br />

<br />

To disappear without a trace<br />

Like ashes in the rain, <br />

All I am and ever was<br />

Is 80 grains of sand<br />

<br />

All I am and ever was<br />

Is 80 grains of sand<br />

All I am and ever was<br />

Is 80 grains of sand.<br />

<br />

A life is but one second of forever<br />

& Death an endless path that leads to the lamenting edge<br />

At the well of sorrow.<br />

Tears flow like an eternal rain that dwell in a place<br />

Where no sun can reach.<br />

& Here 80 grains of sand rests amongst a desert
