lyrics

DIRGE OF DECREPITUDE

My petals wither
My vision fades
My name has vanished from my stone
My beauty rotten as I perish all alone

Was once alive
Was once adored
But now I weep in melancholy tears
The ghosts of mirth, laid to rest over many years
Deep in the grave the echoes sing
Shedding all that was in worm-infested shroud
My bright existence, my shining valour disavowed

Hear me sing underfoot
Hear my cursed legacy, see it taking root
My decrepitude merely transmutation’s will
