Requiem

(album: Ultima Pluvia - 2020)

We've reached the end of an era
An era of failures, destruction and errors
When you put me in my grave
Bury me face down
So I can see
The hell I've made

All the stories I have told
Have been for everyone else but me
All the hardships, all the battles
Have been a march towards oblivion
Maybe when I die I'll be beautiful
Once the flowers grow on my grave
Why's it so hard to see I'm barely breathing?
Why's it so hard to see
That it's hard to take a breath when you're always drowning?
But I'm prepared for death
(I'm prepared for death but is death prepared for me?)

Let the tears of God pour down
Though I'm sure they're tears of joy
Let my body and soul be destroyed
As the storm thunders in applause
Limbo's waiting for me
So let the pouring rain wash away all of me
So there can be sun a

I'm stuck in a cycle of always trying to please
But what's the point of trying to please if you're never happy?
I've worked myself down to my bones and you want the marrow
I can feel my soul leave, and I'm nearly hollow
Like a spider circling the drain
That used to dance on the ceiling

Let the tears of God pour down
Though I'm sure they're tears of joy
Let my body and soul be destroyed
As the storm thunders in applause
Limbo's waiting for me
So let the pouring rain wash away all of me
So there can be sun again
So there can be sun again

I've given everything I am and everything I'm not
The skies have opened up but Heaven won't have me
I know that when I dissipate I have limbo waiting
And the dead that I owe will be expiated
There's something so precious in the pouring rain
That makes me forget the heartache and pain
That I put into words, lost in a sea of the same
Stories you'll forget once I finish my declaim

Let the tears of God pour down
Though I'm sure they're tears of joy
Let my body and soul be destroyed
As the storm thunders in applause
Limbo's waiting for me
So let the pouring rain wash away all of me
So there can be sun again

I'm just tired, so tired
Of spilling my blood for words on a page
Once this requiem ends, forget my name

Let the tears of God pour down
Though I'm sure they're tears of joy
Let the pouring rain wash away all of me
