Artist	Ihsahn
Album	The Adversary

Lyrics

	作曲 : Ihsahn
	The word is easy
	Dripping sweet and cocky from the tongue
	Vaguely describing the taste of blood.
	A distant cry arise
	From the fathomless well
	That is my soul.
	I can not hear the words
	So I throw my heart in
	Like a coin
	And wish that it would sink forever.
	A purpose, a sacrifice
	Or merely temptation?
	Is my solitude anything but a perversion
	Of my vanity?
	I never cared for this weak inclination
	This paranoid tendency
	To flock.
	And in between all the noise
	All the guilt
	A silence would carry my spirit away
	From diminishing obsessions.
	Away from fools and poisonous flies.
	The birth of a dreamer.
	Behold, an angel of vengeance
	A lion
	A sword of fire
	Alas, the burden of my heart
	Is violence undone
	Pain unfulfilled
	Silence.
	When I finally cut deep
	Into the flesh of guilt
	The un-naked body of shame
	And the veins of repentance
	Open wide
	Sending rivers of blood
	Into my mouth
	The pain is still mine.
