Absolution In Extremis

Absolution In Extremis Lyrics

This silence forewarning
And darkness opressing
I lay my heart on a bed of tears
With misery growing
So I paint a picture
So dark, and so black
Upon the canvass of a twisted mind
My solitude engulfing
And I bleed from my heart
With no one to heal
So alone, so afraid
Only pain left to feel
I pray for release
I yearn to be free
I hear the call of the afterlife
My sins so great
And paradise is calling
This paean to woe
From a spirit torn
A requiem of a soul in decline
I await the kiss
From an angel so cold
The savage grace of final release
A penitant soul to be laid to rest
Redemption must
Absolution in extremis
A cacophony of mourning
With love deceased
