Lyrics

The dreams of others Wither by light of day When the truth's uncovered You will find me wasting away A dark curse upon me Flesh bound to the whipping post Hunted and haunted Stalked by nostalgia the memory of a ghost Beyond forlorn, the answers lie in loneliness Disease reborn, I am so full on emptiness In the heart of torture Came the vulture's melody To grant my wishes A pardon from this malady A drop of poison Just a drop to call the armies off A chance for release For release is all I ever want Beyond forlorn, the answers lie in loneliness Disease reborn, I am so full on emptiness The greed that blankets passion Keeps all of our grief in fashion And as the fervor slowly dies I damn my soul to open up the sky From this failing temple Draped in scarlet shrouds The starving statue Looks on and speaks aloud Locked inside the famine chamber I am the prince of emaciation Under the spell of the coldest slender Grant me my wish, release the poison A dark curse upon me Flesh bound to the whipping post A drop of poison Just a drop to call the armies off Beyond forlorn The answers lie in loneliness Disease reborn I am so full on emptiness The greed that blankets passion Keeps all of our grief in fashion Beyond forlorn Stalked by nostalgia My memories are your ghost
