Another broken heart

A sordid soul

Desire at the heart

Of this black hole

A lie stands at the start

Of all we know

I stare into the dark

And wonder if this thirst will ever go

Free us, we are cloaked in shrouds

Silent death, there is no sound

Free us from this starving earth

And this eternal thirst

The cross strung round his neck

He can't remove

This was his destiny

He could not choose

His life a broken psalm

Of blackened blues

He's searching the remains

Just hoping that there’s something he can use

Free us, we are cloaked in shrouds

Silent death, there is no sound

Free us from this starving earth

And this eternal thirst

I'm cursed

With eternal thirst

It comes from broken places

It lives just to erase us

In blackened footsteps follow

A path to endless sorrow

It dwells in crawling spaces

Immune to pleading faces

The hunger eats you hollow

Rise on black wings tomorrow

The black mark on his skin

They won't come near

Though the same lies in them

They shrink in fear

The angels sing to him

He does not hear

Oh, let the end begin

We worship at your altar

When we kneel

Free us, we are cloaked in shrouds

Silent death, there is no sound

Free us from this starving earth

And this eternal thirst
