How Death May Linger
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.
Uniting with the soil
Clasping the earth and its endless mould
Preserving its soft mire
Underneath heavy lids
Tired by the weight, of the world
Blinded by its cruelty
And linger in my tomb
Where none holds sway
My glistening children
Frantic with gluttony
With them I’ll soon have wings
And together we will grow
Out of the earth
And with the hot summer's night
Thus I swarm towards the sky
Drifting in the moist breeze
Sweeping the earth
Like autumn leaves
A black horde carries my name
Nourishing on death
And drinking decease
But before long
The coup will he of life's irony
Suffering a thousand deaths anew
I’ll be raining silent and cold
Out of the heavens
Making the world my grave
Aeons have passed
The cycle remains eternal
Uniting with the soil
Clasping the earth and its endless mould
Preserving its soft mire
Underneath heavy lids
My glistening children
Frantic with gluttony
With them I’ll soon have wings
And together we will grow
Out of the earth
