Beyond Forlorn - Arsis

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
