A Psalm for the Dying Lyrics


A spawn was formed internally

And born unto this world

No one saw the catastrophes

As the stories began to unfold

Fire was caught inside

Of their souls with darkened shrines

They grew sad wings of destiny

And the sun began to shine

Upon this mountain of pain and sorrow

We lay thee down to rest

Make haste into tomorrow

The sun is still burning

The stars are glistening

A sight to see between heaven & hell

We’re still listening

Oh, it’s a psalm for the dying

We bid you farewell

Yeah, the children are crying

Even though we know, the spirit carries on

A gathering of thousands

To raise this hell on earth

By the hands of sonic gods

We witness the rebirth

Of our sanity redeemed

Their art was made of steel

But could flow like a stream

Through our consciousness we feel

The power of its sound

It echos through our heads

Our minds they see no bounds

It kills our daily dread

But tomorrow it may be

Only in our memory

For a lack of certainty

Oh, it’s a psalm for the dying

We bid you farewell

Yeah, the children are crying

Even though we know the spirit carries on

Oh, we’re bleeding for mercy

Please don’t take them away

Yeah, they’re gone far too soon

And now it’s our responsibility
