The Cruxshadows - Sympathy (For Tomorrow) Lyrics
I'm not asking for favorsnot tonightI look up in the sky...all the rockets fall down (fall down)too many promisestoo many liestoo many faces for me to knowSometimes I sit among the markersand contemplate my next lifesays something less sympathetic-"a little more unconditional respect was buriedhere""But it never livedand it never diedit never came from themit was always inside..."I don't care if time just passes us byI can stand the change...but not the crueltytoo many promisestoo many liestoo many faces for me to knowSometimes I sit among the markersand contemplate my next lifesays something less sympathetic-"a little more unconditional respect was buriedhere""But it never livedand it never diedit never came from themit was always inside..."(Spirits of the Dead by E.A. Poe - 1827)Thy soul shall find itself alone'Mid dark thoughts of the grey tomb-stone;Not one, of all the crowd, to pryInto thine hour of secrecy.Be silent in that solitude,Which is not loneliness- for thenThe spirits of the dead, who stoodIn life before thee, are againIn death around thee, and their willShall overshadow thee; be still.The night, though clear, shall frown,And the stars shall not look downFrom their high thrones in the HeavenWith light like hope to mortals given,But their red orbs, without beam,To thy weariness shall seemAs a burning and a feverWhich would cling to thee for ever.Now are thoughts thou shalt not banish,Now are visions ne'er to vanish;From thy spirit shall they passNo more, like dew-drop from the grass.
