The Soundtrack To My Last Day

(album: Oceans Of Slumber - 2020)

Sick and faded, he rested his weary head
Fighting a sleep he knew would never have an end
Full of strife, every detail of his emptiness
Had brought this wretched room further to life

Nothing gained, he's chasing tomorrow
On the pyres of his regrets
Nothing gained, he's chasing tomorrow
Nothing gained, nothing gained

I'm so far away
I'm so far from home
I'm so far away
I'm so far from home

Delirious now, he wrings out his weary hands
No one there to share the dismal air of death
In his final moments, time ceases to matter
Grey and withered the catacombs call

Say your prayers
Lend me your vespers, they sooth my ears
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

These walls haunt me more than ghosts ever have!
She says she wants me? Then come and take me, then!
A coward's stance or I'd have ended this
The Echoes of unfinished everything!

My shadow grows long
My mind has come undone
Finish me, finish this
Where are you death?

Sick and faded, he rested his weary head
Fighting the sleep he knew would never have an end
Full of strife every detail of his emptiness
Had brought his wretched room further to life

Enough!
Psychopompos guide my soul
Levido reticularus!
Marks my skin, marks my soul

Here I stand
To claim what is mine
Queen of the damned
Darkness and time

No mortal grasp
No one turned away
In death we are equal
In death, we will stay

Here I stand!
The greatest hope
The great equaliser
The queen of the lost

Delirious now, he wrings out his weary hands
No one there to share the sweetest scent of death
He tells me in the mirror with his dimming breath
To hold him close and never let him go again

We danced and danced in emptiness
We cried and cried for hours on end
But here he stands defenceless
Against my ever-growing grasp

Let me take you far away from here
To a place where nothing else exists
Here you'll be mine forever in emptiness
Nothing to ever let go again
