WHILE HEAVEN WEPT - In Aeturnum lyrics

rate me

Tearstained are the halls of my empty soul<br />

Melancholia's haunting call is the only one I have known<br />

Innocence has lead me into this void<br />

While years eroded a youth I never enjoyed<br />

Through childhood I slept unsheltered from the scorn<br />

Now I've awakened with age to love ever lorn<br />

Forever and ever I'll search for the solace<br />

Which can only be found in an embrace<br />

<br />

In throes of desolation I prayed unto divinity<br />

I endured the emptiness and frigid pain but even god had forsaken me<br />

I prayed to find a solace for my heart bereaved<br />

Only to be forgotten by the god I once believed<br />

Now I serve this punishment under the ice condemned<br />

For my loss of faith to hell I was damned<br />

Downfallen in iniquity, desolate I'll be<br />

My somber stare traverses sepulchers lonely<br />

<br />

Eternally, my limbs sealed in place <br />

Livid, and dead I bow my face<br />

The only shelter from the cold<br />

Of the ninth circle of hell<br />

<br />

To see what awaits in forever<br />

A lifeless gaze, my final endeavor<br />

I looked through the blackened skies<br />

And beheld the radiance of paradise<br />

My eyes have frozen in false sanctity <br />

Eternally bound, my tears have turned to ice<br />

<br />
