Elder Misanthropy Lyrics


Wisdom infinite, held tightly in my grasp

My sword one thousand battles strong

Ageless I remain, beyond the reach of death

Indebted by my soul

I have witnessed the birthing of your faith

The tribulations, the driving of the stake

So slowly this immortal coil unwinds

Until the end, the end of fucking time

Blood of the ancient one is burning through my veins

The blood of gods man's never known

I am the one who cannot die

I am the killer for all time

Seeds of infinite hate I've sown

I walk the earth enshrouded in darkness

Eclipsing, I claim the flesh of man

Ageless I remain with vengeance on my breath

Revolted by the meek

I have witnessed the birthing of your faith

The tribulations, the driving of the stake

Slowly this immortal coil unwinds

This crumbing world has become mine

See the creation of this world

See it all reduced to ash

In the blink of a sunken eye

I see one hundred winters pass

My blessing, my curse

Perpetually I'm damned to earth

Of a soul I am bereft

Forever dying to be dead,

Come on!

Slipping through centuries untouched by human love

Void of the simple pleasures that human life provides

Forever bound, I lie in wait, undying and insane

See the creation of this world

See it all reduced to ash

In the blink of a sunken eye

I see one hundred winters pass

My blessing, my curse

Perpetually I'm damned to earth

Of a soul I am bereft

Forever dying to be dead,

Dead!
