The Promise of Agony - Dark Angel |
| [02:09.86] |
You tell me what will become of us? |
| [02:12.48] |
Are the lines so drawn and the stage so set |
| [02:14.79] |
That as we age what reamins is burdened sufferance |
| [02:16.60] |
My mortality looms in its visage is doom |
| [02:18.10] |
And it's speaking to me alone |
| [02:19.66] |
The years will unfold but what is the use |
| [02:21.47] |
In solitude I'm left to atone |
| [02:23.47] |
The sins of my past are returning to gnaw at my core |
| [02:26.96] |
The scars I have left and those that have been left on me |
| [02:30.71] |
My purpose in life is it unfair to assume I have one |
| [02:34.45] |
I'm not fooling myself what now awaits is a nightmarish end |
| [02:38.26] |
What I'm saying do you understand |
| [02:39.38] |
Do you know what it's like to feel inadequate |
| [02:41.88] |
And the future ahead has no place for you |
| [02:43.81] |
As if you ever thought it did |
| [02:45.50] |
Alone in my shell if I come out I'll die |
| [02:47.68] |
I don't want to escape though I should |
| [02:49.43] |
No just leave me alone I don't want your help |
| [02:51.30] |
Yeah, if you could ease my pain you would... (right!) |
| [02:53.05] |
No you don't even know me |
| [02:54.67] |
And your words of comfort fall upon deaf and frightened ears |
| [02:57.04] |
I lament my bitter fate lachrymation upon examining my fears |
| [03:00.10] |
I've built a fortress around my soul impregnable the door |
| [03:02.78] |
I refuse to admit you to my netherworld |
| [03:04.28] |
You're correct I've absolved my self control |
| [03:05.96] |
This spiraled course depression has me on |
| [03:08.02] |
AGONY |
| [03:09.83] |
I'M A STUDY IN DESPAIR DOMINEERED BY THE PROMISE OF AGONY |
| [03:12.20] |
AND THE HAPPINESS IS BOUND AND THE HOPELESSNESS IS FOUND |
| [03:15.51] |
I'M IN AGONY |
| [03:16.76] |
CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND DESPONDENCY COMMANDS MY AGONY |
| [03:20.75] |
And I'm waiting to die alone |
| [03:37.41] |
As I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams |
| [03:40.53] |
A chilling descent into a phobic hell |
| [03:42.46] |
Insanity's blade performs it's correctional surgery |
| [03:43.90] |
Impending doom in this blackened room I can give this all away |
| [03:48.39] |
It's all so easy to capitulate Nothing is making me stay |
| [03:52.07] |
Retreating within and hiding behind my wall |
| [03:55.75] |
Dealing without there's no escape from this moribund state |
| [03:59.80] |
Awaiting deep sleep we don't care if I don't wake |
| [04:02.92] |
In darkness' hands though terrified I feel safe |
| [04:06.86] |
I don't fit into the scheme of things |
| [04:08.85] |
These years as an outcast are quickly wearing thin |
| [04:10.60] |
My carefree days are a thing of the past |
| [04:12.41] |
And I welcome the fact that I'm coming to an end |
| [04:14.72] |
Melancholy my bride I devote unto thee |
| [04:16.59] |
My breath my mind and my soul |
| [04:18.03] |
As silence washes over me, I've never been so tired, so cold... |
| [04:21.40] |
Confusion seizes unto me |
| [04:23.20] |
Manacled and beaten chained up by it's frozen vice |
| [04:25.14] |
This is killing me but my mind is set and I'm too weak to fight |
| [04:28.76] |
Have you any idea what it's like to want to die |
| [04:30.95] |
Then you will know from where I speak |
| [04:32.50] |
This winter in my soul |
| [04:33.81] |
This winter in my soul |
| [04:36.49] |
AGONY |
| [04:38.12] |
I'M A STUDY IN DESPAIR DOMINEERED BY THE PROMISE OF AGONY |
| [04:40.43] |
AND THE HAPPINESS IS BOUND AND THE HOPELESSNESS IS FOUND |
| [04:44.24] |
I'M IN AGONY |
| [04:44.98] |
CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND DESPONDENCY COMMANDS MY AGONY |
| [04:48.91] |
And I want to be left alone |
| [04:51.50] |
|
| [05:19.71] |
Yet again I have no answers |
| [05:21.83] |
The confusion of my fate takes it's toll |
| [05:23.58] |
Symbolically speaking what's another life |
| [05:25.01] |
That lists "ending itself" as its one and only goal? |
| [05:27.01] |
I've examined my options and I see nothing in my sight |
| [05:29.38] |
Is there an avenue I've yet to explore |
| [05:31.44] |
As of now I'm decided I have nothing to live for |
| [05:33.56] |
Defeated alone yet you laugh at the state I'm in |
| [05:38.36] |
I can't help what I am but you think this is all in my head |
| [05:43.61] |
I'm not asking for help but I want you to understand |
| [05:45.79] |
That I'm going away you guess if I'm coming back |
| [05:48.72] |
You wish I had a will to live |
| [05:50.41] |
This condition I'm in didn't happen overnight |
| [05:52.16] |
I've hated myself for an eternity |
| [05:53.96] |
Now I finally feel that I'm doing something right |
| [05:55.77] |
As darkness descends I behold the Candlemass |
| [05:58.02] |
I seek intimacy with death |
| [05:59.27] |
Again you're correct these feelings will pass |
| [06:01.39] |
When my memory is all you have left |
| [06:03.26] |
My life has metamorphosed |
| [06:04.07] |
Into a marriage of the twisted and macabre |
| [06:06.63] |
I'm sitting here now feeling the effects of my words |
| [06:08.76] |
Trying to see a reason why I should go on |
| [06:10.50] |
I have to wonder do I still believe in God |
| [06:12.56] |
'Cause God no longer believes in me |
| [06:14.25] |
I lay myself down for my final peace |
| [06:15.80] |
I welcome Death my spirit is free |
| [06:17.80] |
