Laborem Morte Liberat Te - Abysmal Dawn

Dear friends

where have you

gone?

The silence

is very deafening

moments frozen in time

greet me

in blackest infinity

this burden has weighed a ton.

Embrace me

should I let go

crawling as we did at birth

bludgeoned by this mortal coil

one day closer

to our final breaths

and just when you have nothing left

they’ll take that too.

Father I am your son

mother I am your everything

these veins run with your blood

I beg you don’t leave me now

Crawling as we did at birth

bludgeoned by this mortal coil

one day closer to our final breaths

and just when you have nothing left

they’ll take that too

If we endure the pain

brought by this barrage of torment

we’ll see the things we love wither and die

vermin run in place

on a path unwinding

in a circle, a circle of lies

Coping with these stages of mortality

accepting the impermanence of being

stability, prosperity, longevity

futile notions and expenditures of time

Laborem Morte liberat te

We toil until our deaths

laborem morte liberat te

until freedom comes at last

this too shall pass in time

ride the winds into obscurity

hold fast to the things you love

they disappear once you turn around

things change until you don’t belong

and it’s true you can never go home

Crawling as we did at birth

bludgeoned by this mortal coil

one day closer to our final breaths

and just when you have nothing left

they’ll take that too…
