Requiem for a Drunkard Lyrics by King Giant

Black Ocean Waves

0

Into the mouth of madness flies
An albatross inside my mind
The nighttime comes and I will cry
The silence when I close my eyes
I cannot breathe, I cannot see
This darkness that envelopes me
All my life I've built these walls
Waiting till the darkness falls
Headstones and heartbreak
Falling in around me
Photographs, my memories
Why do they escape me
All this booze clouds my mind
And heroin it let's me fly
But when I fall, I burn and cry
Only if I fail to die
Headstones and heartbreak
Falling in around me
Photographs, my memories
Why do they escape me
My eyes have seen the glory
The coming of The Lord, yeah
My eyes have seen the horror
A wretched, little whore's prayer
Into the mouth of madness
Living in the throes of sadness
Headstones and heartbreak
Falling in around me
Photographs, my memories
Why do they escape me
My eyes have seen the glory
The coming of The Lord, yeah
My eyes have seen the horror
A wretched, little whore's prayer
