Worship - Endzeit Elegy lyrics
rate meA bed of stone<br />
To wake upon<br />
To a world long dead<br />
<br />
May this sight strike me blind<br />
Lest I envy the dead<br />
Let my bones melt to earth<br />
To cease and forget<br />
<br />
In brittled cloth<br />
A grave of rock<br />
Above the world's remains<br />
<br />
[Qorban:]<br />
"I broke the surface of a lifetime of sleep, <br />
Or so I felt. For minutes I couldn't will my aching bones to move, <br />
To rise from my bed of stone, or my gaze to bend from the tomb of rock above me.<br />
I willed my body over the edge and crushed to the floor below.<br />
Through a mist of pain I started to see: I was imprisoned.<br />
A forboding fright dawned in me, as I slowly struggled to free myself from my own grave.<br />
It seemed my limbs would burst before I was free, <br />
But finally at the very end of my strength I could see the world beyond, <br />
And to my horror - It was no more!"<br />
<br />
I have lost to sleep<br />
Man's final days<br />
Now to awake<br />
Just to be tortured by grief
