The Meads Of Asphodel - 80 Grains Of Sand lyrics
rate meO 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
