Jaded Entity

(album: The Ethereal Mirror - 1993)

Here, gibbering alone... oh the earth and heavens
They so tire me, tomorrow's dreams encased in a velvet sanctuary
The crumbled throne of worldly gain
Is glory forgotten, and now just nothing remains

We've come too far, we are so close
One soul, inside, one forever weeping

As the vain morning dawns all life fades away
You can take me now, beyond the violet veil
And whatever flames the night in these deeds I've done
In fate's control, at last my time has come

Death is death, the little host that squirms
Smell the dark the coffin's closed
And I so soft ooh so soft, no movement
And no breath, no ears, no nose no eyes
Death is death, in life's sepulchre
No sight, no sound, no cry, and
Always... always... death is...
Death yeah! (Alive again)

Eeeaaergh damp skin in greying sheets, decaying bed absorbing me
Bleached white ceiling above dehydrating visions of love
Vitality slides back down the walls, saturating the velvet floor
Numbness writhes in all I adore, wasting here, can't see the door
