Lyrics

Gallows

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.

You drift away in a bitter dusk by scattering the snow that held

angel-like images in our blurry memories of childhood.

escaping every when, who or why

ebony eyes disappeared

i cannot longer bear this as it revels in my misery

if only i didn't care, i'd smile and merrily wave my hand goodbye

my possessions are gone, there is no point to go on

our foolish intents built my future plans

i can't go forwards or back

i am stuck in a forever dying moment

more ...i sway here forevermore

until lovely gaia is burnt to the core

you'll find me at the gallows

i sleep by the gallows in complete solitude that i used to cherish

but now my visions are clear and solarsigns in a nebular hill

cast a fallen morningstar right behind me and it sighs:

"you won't feel a thing, it is only great relief

so slit your wrists open by this"

begone at the silent shores.

shine on! this is the end of the world

all beauty is lost and so is all you had ever abhored

and i raise my blindfold gaze

a night mare of ending my life becomes a part of

this miserable joy of reality

to sell my fortune

to leave them all behind

to hide all the trails as i never existed

nothing remains irrelevant in these murky chambers...

dark and dismal chambers of agony

a cruel gathering of tragedies lead our way to the dreamscapes

where they feed the rope by our necks

no feet on this solid soil but a floating silhouette

against the setting sun

by gravity lifeforce flows slowly away

it is silent at the gallows again
