Christian Death - Invitation Au Suicide Lyrics
R. WilliamsI have etched the scrolls into my skinThe hangman's noose, 13 lies which cross the barrierburialThere is a sin not yet commitedO, he of sleepless flight - be merciful.I have found myself lost amongst the shardsof a world reduced to shadowSentenced to a lifetime in this prisonWell, I should have taken this omen and ranAbandoned myself to secret cornersInstead I turned to face the dayTreading through the storm of the horrorAnd decayHow could I be so blindedCut down and so misguided?Caught in deception, in deceptionO, he of splintered sight - be mercifulFor I know not what I doI walk the road that leads to an early graveAs tears stream down my rigid faceWell, I should keep one eye turned towards heavenAs I drag my body through the flamesInstead I turned to face the dayFighting with the demons I have madeSpilled all my hope along the wayIt falls out, it falls deadShattered fragments, endless wavesO, he of sleepless nights - be mercifulI have found myself lost amongst the shardsIf only I had severed ties,Ties that bind all my dreams to liesI could have walked away from it allI could have walked away from it allAnd found that peace waits in absentia
