[00:00.23]Scorpions&Drought - Deathspell Omega
[00:01.47]
[00:18.72]There I stand in a wood of trees pale as if bones
[00:26.03]Eroded by nefarious winds
[00:29.72]
[00:30.84]Haunted by their barking echoes
[00:35.65]Were doubts to arise that God retreats slowly from this world
[00:42.61]
[00:48.35]Which until now renewed itself with every dawn
[00:53.68]
[01:00.04]Behold those mountains
[01:02.54]The rocks of which turn to ghosts
[01:04.59]And those roots petrified in thirst
[01:09.80]Vainly defying the opaque silence of hollow rivers
[01:13.67]
[01:14.53]And bury your doubts in a profane grave
[01:19.71]
[01:30.26]The greatest proof of justice and mercy
[01:34.69]God’s supreme goodness
[01:36.87]
[01:38.97]And his loving caress
[01:41.28]Inhabit these abrasive pillars of dust
[01:43.46]The black veil at the horizon
[01:46.64]Soon to hush in velvet silence
[01:48.57]Your daughter’s last breath
[01:52.75]Crowning you the depositary of ten thousand indignities
[01:54.62]The eminent king of a world in dismay
[02:01.11]Every singularity is filed down
[02:03.04]By this continuous ochre stream
[02:05.85]The only memory and existence
[02:09.29]Those you cherished ever had
[02:11.91]And ever could have
[02:12.16]The memory of the heart
[02:14.72]Is overcome by the drought of the heart
[02:19.78]A desert with no life but scorpions
[02:24.86]
[02:29.66]Coming as a swarm as a flood
[02:36.16]
[02:41.72]With an abundance of deadly stings
[02:43.72]One for every remembrance
[02:46.91]One for every comforting echo of the past
[02:50.98]For blithe days of hope turned sour
