When Death Sighs
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.
I can hear him sigh, a soulless breath
In a sea of argent, a man called death
A ring of reapers, gathering round my shrine
Life-dust keeper, gimme some more time
When death sighs awaken from the slumber
When death sighs you know it's time to go
When death sighs your world is going under
When death sighs now tell me who you love
Now tell me who you love
Step by step, inch by inch
You're closer than before
Not of heaven, not of hell
I wish I could ignore
The bereaving God
The mourning angel
Suckin' spirit 'n' sap
I see no exit, I cannot fix it
I wear the beggar's crown
Same as usual, this freakin' labyrinth
I think of you, apocalyptic grin
He walks beside me, abacus in hand
It's like a date with Nosferatu The Damned
When death sighs awaken from the slumber
When death sighs you know it's time to go
When death sighs your world is going under
When death sighs now tell me who you love
When death sighs awaken from the slumber
When death sighs sundown says hello
When death sighs I see the wall of wonder
When death sighs now tell me who you love
Now tell me who you love
Now tell me who you love
Now tell me who you love
