WHILE HEAVEN WEPT - IN AETERNUM lyrics

rate me

Tearstained are the halls of my empty soul

Melancholia's haunting call is the only one I have known

Innocence has lead me into this void

While years eroded a youth I never enjoyed

Through childhood I slept unsheltered from the scorn

Now I've awakened with age to love ever lorn

Forever and ever I'll search for the solace

Which can only be found in an embrace

In throes of desolation I prayed unto divinity

I endured the emptiness and frigid pain but even god had forsaken me

I prayed to find a solace for my heart bereaved

Only to be forgotten by the god I once believed

Now I serve this punishment under the ice condemned

For my loss of faith to hell I was damned

Downfallen in iniquity, desolate I'll be

My somber stare traverses sepulchers lonely

Eternally, my limbs sealed in place

Livid, and dead I bow my face

The only shelter from the cold

Of the ninth circle of hell

To see what awaits in forever

A lifeless gaze, my final endeavor

I looked through the blackened skies

And beheld the radiance of paradise

My eyes have frozen in false sanctity

Eternally bound, my tears have turned to ice
