Death Wept Lyrics


Tears stream from her vacant eyes, I can sympathize

Tortured smile, her eternal demeanor

This isn't the first time I've seen her

I reflect her emotional stare, she knows I see her there

Always standing over my shoulder, will I reach out to hold her

Yet I sob here reeling against dying light

Death wept tonight

Pain tingles my nerves as the razor scrapes along

It lingers until it's gone

Tired and losing the will to fight

Death wept tonight

Her cold ageless bones they awarn

Her black wings have braved many a storm

Death has seen the dark of my mind

She sobs so I know she's not blind

Oh what a world, man has made that leaves our precious souls to fade

Laughter and joy: the silver lining

A flash so fleeting all gone in such a short time

As I lay bleeding would God look me in the eye

and say: "Oh my daughter, why do you cry?"

I wish I could make myself more open

Not in the manner which I have previously spoken

Bottling it up until I am broken

I hate to burden anyone with such a terrible sight

Death wept tonight

Death wept tonight

You taunt me, you haunt me, when I beg you don't want me

What have I done? What you've done to me!

When will I be free?

Death wept tonight, Darling it's alright

This world is cruel but it would be hell for me without you

The past is more dead than the angel's bones

No one should suffer alone

In tenebris vivemus ut unum

In tenebris vivemus ut unum
