Acranius - Despairbound lyrics
[Acranius - Despairbound lyrics]
Winter waits within the stirring skies
In clouds that watch the weak and sick below
Flake by flake the cold is their demise
Encased in ice six feet beneath the snow
The breeze becomes a dagger to the skin
As every gust berefts the bones of hope
The killing walls of judgment day close in
As whistling winds become the hangman and the rope
The frantic people dress in wools and furs
And beg to live to see the blizzard pass
Both sheep and wolf despair as winter whirs
And turns their eyes to hollow orbs of glass
Growing sleet entombs both leaf and limb
Winter takes the young ones for its own
A child sees his fingers break from him
And cries before his shattered corpse alone
Despairbound
Desperate to survive the storm
Still they die among the other prey
Preserved and relics made of frozen flesh
A heart will beat itself to death before
It feels the melting drops of winter's frost
Release the skin its bite and kiss both tore
But still the soul decays where blood was lost
In clouds that watch the weak and sick below
Flake by flake the cold is their demise
Encased in ice six feet beneath the snow
The breeze becomes a dagger to the skin
As every gust berefts the bones of hope
The killing walls of judgment day close in
As whistling winds become the hangman and the rope
The frantic people dress in wools and furs
And beg to live to see the blizzard pass
Both sheep and wolf despair as winter whirs
And turns their eyes to hollow orbs of glass
Growing sleet entombs both leaf and limb
Winter takes the young ones for its own
A child sees his fingers break from him
And cries before his shattered corpse alone
Despairbound
Desperate to survive the storm
Still they die among the other prey
Preserved and relics made of frozen flesh
A heart will beat itself to death before
It feels the melting drops of winter's frost
Release the skin its bite and kiss both tore
But still the soul decays where blood was lost
