Cult Of Crucifixion Lyrics

I will wander

 I will gather my flowers

 Withered and how soon forgotten

 Sing with passion

 Sing with vehemence

 A grief too sad for song

 I pick the gravel from my eyes

 I need no words

 I am a face rid of features

 Curse this heedless folly

 Am I nothing? A plaintive breath, a moment's vision

 Curse this dead...

 And words crowd to my blistered throat

 Dip my wings in your magnificence

 Separate my head from their crucifixion

 I lay at length upon the earth

 Gnats dance through my sable cloak

 I lay at length upon the earth

 Heaven is silent in travailed prayer

 All darkness flaunts before me

 I wish that peace would revisit my mind

 Madness endeavours to soothe me

 Beckon me nearer, whisper discreetly

 When will the sun cease to climb?

 That I may write my last farewell

 To these gaunt residing shadows
