Lyrics Life Drained to the Black Abyss - Gespenst

Life Drained to the Black Abyss

I cannot wake
I cannot get out of this flesh
My eyes have been eternally fixed
At the spectrum of darkness
A blackened stream of despair
It seems I have always been here
Swirling and gnarled are the hands at my throat
Drawing me down
Strange forms are present
I know not what they want
But feel their cold gaze on my soul
As I fall into the darkness
Into the black abyss
Expelled from my being by a blasphemous whisper
The essence is yearning to remain with me
Its screams absorbed into utter affliction
Creating abhorrent formations of what I once was
This tragic figure of sorrow is pulled into unholy darkness
In a final attempt to remain in existence
It clings to my flesh, tearing it off
As my life is drained to the black abyss
