The Confessor's Tale

from Æthereum by Sardonic Wrath

/

lyrics

Time has now told-
tel Megiddo's fall unfolds

A world with an end-
A feeling unable to comprehend

Paradise is lost-
Eden and heaven, ashes and dust

Babylon decomposes-
The microcosm, like withering roses

I, clairvoyant, have seen-
ascension and falls before me

In the crystal ball-
I see the knell, it calls

Forgotten realms open wide-
auric Monuments will die

Prophecies spoke of the master's spawn-
born from womb of witch in dawn

Black clouds surround the sky-
obscure fog blinding the eyes

Gehenna, to ashes, erodes-
skin of the Tetragrammaton corrodes

Vitriol and Aqua Regia rain-
your hair and flesh burning away

The cries of trauma louden-
the gates of darkness will open

The tale of Sodom amends-
God will fall with heaven

Enochian symphonies silenced-
thy Angel and devil's distress

Porcelain gaze at the pearly gates-
watch them crumble and decimate

Portrait of the polyptych fleets-
Christ scorns his defeat

All the earth wilts like the flowers-
even Mort must succumb to the final hour

Doth pass Three days and nights-
but no different they are, to our sight

Sadness and sorrow-
joy through the morrow

No longer differ to us-
nor the silence and it's lust

Purgatory, hell and heaven-
amalgamate by day seven

Words of poets fade away-
yet like Echo, their words still resonate

The storm never seems to cease-
snowfall of sulphur and pain, a plague, a disease

Nihilism rapes the last of the sky
-and this omen dies, of the confessor, I.

I taste the blood, the tears
The bloody tears that have fallen through wasted years
Bitterest wine, forged by time
The land I once adored...

I could feel the pain and anguish
Yet my mind failed to save me from all languish
My wounds open wide
As the sun soon dies
And dusk blankets her child

Angel, devil, and man
All of one mind, to die in sand
Fortress of isolation, I only see desolation
The world I knew shall perish

Accursed crucifix, behold thy tale
Your fall far from grander than plebeian ale
Await and see, what you shall be
Death with your false master (Christ)

Aggression and affection flying free
To another world? I cannot tell nor see
Reality and dream, neither what I believed
Lie anymore true before me

Make me faint, tired eyes
I wish to see not, what in the future, lies...
And as I collapse, I shall bereave
The fate that has been bestowed before me

My mind cannot bear the unending atrocities
The burning and destruction of cities
And towns and hamlets, too, shall meet death
Groping futilely, as they fall, onto her breast

How bittersweet shall they fall
To the tune of the savage trumpets' call
Torn our foes, acquiesced our woes
Yet no taste of tomorrow

And I shall join them all in sleep
A banquet, our last feast
Judgement and mercy, wrath and camaraderie
No more shall ever be...

Apathy is all that remains of me
As with the sky, the earth, the sea
I close my eyes and suffer in my dreams
I greet death, I am at peace.

Don't weep for me, I couldn't for thee
Love is dead, and on Charon's sail, our souls meet
I am yours to bear, through the Flames' glare
Deaf ears still heard more

My tale shall end, this play I've written
The whores amongst the halls once golden
Temptation stabbed my heart and let me die
So leave me be, the firmament that has cursed my life.
