Lyrics
When One Was Desolate
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.
Return, right back to the hell from which you came from
Held back by the bloodline, somethings gone horribly
Wrong we feel as if we don't belong
Why do I need the answers this moment
And so they came held back by a moments grace
They only speak so they save their face, and then drift away
And the shadows know of the snakes
The day will come when you'll want this
But you'll be measured by what you take
So where were you, the light to lead me to this hell and through
Don't lose faith we'll find a way, the way back through
They only speak of their saving grace
And I see that my grace is you
(We're all the same)
Well this is me and this is you alone
But all together (we're all the same)
You smile as you struggle like me
Like these like every wicked chosen decay that lies in me
Just let it leave just leave
Just leave my body are we born among demons
Send all your chosen plagues right back to the hell from which they came
False belief dies today, separate my body and let me be
