From the Album: COLD PESTILENT HOPE
The stature looms all around me
The stance of unwillingness
To follow you, don’t follow me, to follow you, don’t follow me
What is guilt without your fading conscious?
Cursed by redemption’s zeal
To separate, eliminate, to separate
Your hold on me
His death is all around me
Failed false messiah
You’re blessed and cursed by his presence
Inexorable I’m struck cold
Black clouds and perpetual darkness
Stinging reminders of what was
Before you die, don’t channel me, before you die, don’t channel me
Poisoned hands, unavoidable darkness
This fire burns to speak
Your buried name, and wretched tongue, your buried name
Words mean nothing to me
His death is all around me
Failed false messiah
You’re blessed and cursed by his presence
Inexorable I’m struck cold
False eyes implode
An inexorable shroud comes before me
Rest with your words
An immediate cause for dissension
Blind faith will remain
Loyal to the hollow ground
These signs don’t point to me
These signs point to your end
The stature looms all around me
The stance of unwillingness
To follow you, don’t follow me, to follow you, don’t follow
What is guilt without your fading conscious?
Cursed by redemption’s zeal
To separate, eliminate, to separate
Your hold on me
His death is all around me
Failed false messiah
You’re blessed and cursed by his presence
Inexorable I’m struck cold
