Charnel Heart Lyrics


The number of times my eyes were blurred

cannot be counted yet sternly they watched

through the tortures and the aches

And equal the times my heart shivered in ache

and within it lies no peace;

within it there can not be peace!

For what is peace but another imposible dream

another hollow word?

There can be no peace in this night to come

this night unlike all other

as none is to follow

No, none shall bear this failure onwards

I enter the fire of absolute sacrifice

Refuse the human boundaries for a final time

and eagerly assist as dagger, as sword and spear

Tonight the world itself will cry out in horror

Tonight there is murder in my heart...

I will make my sanctuary and rest my head

where men come to die at the precipice of time

whose great emptiness that beckons

is nothing short of everlasting love

for it's the fire - the fire I shall be

What star dares to shine in its presence

what sun dares to challenge its grace?

All other in its shadow

All elses on knees beneath

And Death is among us

within and without

as all will come to cease

And Death is above us

unchallenged judge

akin its might are none

And Death does obsess me

my body and soul, my mind

my thought and act

Against all human reason

sings my heart a praise

A praise against the being

towards unending night

Adverse all human senses

calls my heart to naught

All other in its shade

All else on knees beneath
