Litany of Decay

Her black eyes allure you Into her cloak if traps  Nothing is right anymore  Death encircles you but  Never finds you They Want my curse of eternal life  But all I want to do is reach for the knife In blood you rose In blood I fall  forever I must sing this litany dying in life-- let my find my grave 'twas the myriad year inducing a lucid fear  I can hear my coffin's cry  my body lies there's nothing left to say This Litany of decay Free me, hear me, my death where have you gone I Drown in Vitality Dying in my immortality  Just waiting for the stake to reach my heart Caress me with your pain like the blood in rain Your shell is breaking Show them what lies inside Witch of centuries Witch of lies Love was never meant for you forever I must sing this litany dying in life-- let my find my grave 'twas the myriad year inducing a lucid fear  I can hear my coffin's cry  my body lies there's nothing left to say This Litany of decay forever I must sing this litany dying in life-- let my find my grave 'twas the myriad year inducing a lucid fear  I can hear my coffin's cry  my body lies there's nothing left to say This Litany of decay
