Gothic Epitaph Lyrics by Weeping Silence

Opus IV Oblivion

2015

My waters have emptied
The rivers have reached the oceans
It lies still, the sea and tastes of loss
My light has dimmed and flame is gone
Lay me down in a field of asphodels
Broken, quiet, peaceful and grey
To rest in the arms of this cold earth
Sleep without wake, wake without sleep
No longer see sons of men, before a headstone
No longer to hear the mourning congregation
Stand before me
To pass by the sound of a thousand trumpets
Two solemn basilisks of sombre song
An icy throne in winter's embrace
Yet death's away so I'm lost
Dans le rêve profond le plus terrifiant
Je n'al pas vu un tel désespoir
A lifeless nightmare haunts my sleep, a hypnotic drift drags me deep
Sleep without wake, wake without sleep
No longer see sons of men, before a headstone
No longer to hear the mourning congregation
Stand before me
My breathing coffin, my closed eyes, my gothic epitaph, my weeping silence
In the deepest most terrifying dream
I did not see such despair
No longer see sons of men, before a headstone
No longer to hear the mourning congregation
Stand before me
My breathing coffin, my closed eyes, my gothic epitaph, my weeping silence
