Asystole: A Portrait Lyrics by Seraph in Travail

Bring Forth Death

2015

Echoes the sound that splattered the walls
As I carve on the keys a message in code
If you’re reading this then it’s probably too late
Here I lie, entrapped and entombed
Viciously waving a knot are the sounds
Of E, B flat, G, C sharp and A
I sweat like my pen dripping onto the page
Of an epilogue written in dashes and line
What are the costs of cutting my loss
Told by the ongoing beat of my heart?
What if this night ever comes to an end
And I’m crushed by it, cursed forever to breathe?
Like pulsating waves, passing tones rise and fall
Under the Darkness own bassline decays
Murderous melodies fill my ears
The sounds that I wish only someone would hear
In futility born to a futile life
My apex of meaning achieved in flatline
Never before has a song been song that forever sings on
And so I like to die
What is the reason for fighting against
The invincible forces that silence a heart?
What of the night that shadows the day
Wrought by sorrow, death and decay?
You’re holding the paddles over my chest
You’re draining the nightshade into my veins
My pupils affixed, my skin cold and pale
But you pound on my sternum and breathe into me
On the wings of angels by body is bourne
On the tide of a siren you ride through the storm
What life flows in you can defy death in me
And regenerate that which had lost all hope
