Lyrics
Sentenced in Absentia
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Painted with symbols of a sinful supremacy
Melodramatic play, an image of tragedy
Lending a helping hand, protecting the progeny
Trains keep on rolling towards my infinity
Invocations of purity
Floods of sham fill the starless winter night
Empty lines and lies exposed
Dripping with the holy blood of Jesus christ
I'm tired of waiting
Tired of fading away from the people I adore and I respect
The end of an illusion, reaching of conclusions
Sentenced in absentia, we reach the final contravention court
Chimera charades become a wave of vivacity
Crawling forwards in the midst of jeopardy
Invocation of purity
Floods of sham fill the starless winter night
Empty lines and lies exposed
Dripping with the holy blood of Jesus christ
I'm tired of waiting
Tired of fading away from the people I adore and I respect
The end of an illusion, reaching of conclusions
Sentenced in absentia, we reach the final contravention court
Be on guard, I beg of you; let this decent dream come true
Paralyzed and powerless; the weight of facts is trembling down
How can I survive in such serious surroundings?
Don't let my message be blown into the wind
I'm tired of fading, tired of waiting
Sentenced in absentia, we reach the final contravention court
The hanging judge is holding court in a spiteful sense;
He wants revenge
Singled out as sinners seeking shelter for submission
To face the misery and grief yet still believe in victory
Perishing with shadows, I unfold my life forever
