In a Token of Despair
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.
As I listen to the shadows of the air
Listening in the wind that moved my hair
Searching everywhere
In a token of despair
I am lonely
Every present that I had has now been brought
There is no - one left on earth with whom to walk
But I'm still searching everywhere
In a token of despair
I am lonely
I have been undead for just a year
I have felt the torment and the fear
And I yearn to know
In my shadow of a man
Who I now am
I cannot let all you living men alone
I must habitate a world that's for the living
But I'm dead so what can I do - now
But I'm dead so what can I do - now
Dies Irae, Dies Illa
Dies Irae, Dies Illa
All I may is stay and lock around
See the people moving, listen to their sound
I'll go on searching everywhere
In a token of despair
- Forever
- Forever
Dies Irae, Dies Illa
Your soul is wanton, give it all
Slowly suffer for the Fall
Sow the furrow lying fallow
Follow the Way that's not got narrow
Burn - burn in anger
Burn - deny belief
Burn - burn in anger
Drink your sorrow, sup your grief
Lady Ladybird
Don't move your wings, don't fly away my love
Don't fly away at all
Don't move your wings, don't fly away my love
Lady Ladybird
Lady Ladybird
Lady Ladybird
Don't fly away!
Like perfection
Sparkle and shine
Filling your life with dreams
But you know that all of the time
You're here, you're there
Getting nowhere it seems
You know that love is a pretty things my love
So don't pretend to me
You Know that love is a pretty things my love
Lady Ladybird
Lady Ladybird
Lady Ladybird
Don't fly away
Like perfection
Sparkle and shine
Filling your life with dreams
But you know that all of the time
You're here, you're there
Getting nowhere it seems
Ladybird, stay with me
Don't move your wings, don't fly away my love
Don't fly away at all
Don't move your wings, don't fly away my love
Lady Ladybird
Lady Ladybird
Lady Ladybird
Don't fly away!
Don't fly away!
Don't fly away!
