Ashen Nectar |
All aboard, this ship bound for wreckage |
Sail ho, fuckers! |
Who could foresee that this state of mind was forever? |
That we would never wake up from our nightmares? |
That the black poison dripped onto our skin would burn us |
That the clean streams of time wouldn’t be able to wash it away… |
Once these robes were worn as masquerade costumes |
The smooth velvet reviled hooks and razor claws |
That would not come of, cutting into the skin |
The harder we pulled the deeper its barbs dug in… |
Until death do us part my fair ones |
We’re the kings and queens of the depraved undone |
In the filthy streets, our splendid court, this neon Babylon |
We are the stars that refuse to shine |
No ships will navigate by our signs |
We are the tones that distort the chord |
In a world of perfection we are the flawed |
We are the birds with broken wings |
The useless ones, we don’t believe in anything |
We believe in no gods left high above |
And there will be no angels where we go |
We are the Ashen Nectar, |
we are the tainted well |
We are the Ashen Nectar, |
side by side we watch the world go by |
We are the Ashen Nectar, |
the last poets of a dying breed |
We are Ashen Nectar, |
our skins our canvases, our paint the blood we bleed |
All words were first spoken then stolen |
Onto paper splattered |
By the weakened hand in the dark room |
Visions and a life lay scattered |
We are suns bent for darkness |
The stars that refuse to shine |
Artists of a different kind |
The ones that leave nothing behind |
There is no clean white bed, for this dying bride |
Farewell… |
We left our last pieces to be lost |
In forgotten dusty attics |
Where our blood has dried |
We were the ashen nectar fanatics |
There will nothing left when we leave |
Our shadowy art will remain unseen |
As we step through the haze |
Silhouettes exiting this dream |
We are the stars that refuse to shine |
No ships will navigate by our signs |
We are the tones that distort the chord |
In a world of perfection we are the flawed |
We are the birds with broken wings |
The useless ones, we don’t believe in anything |
We believe in no gods left high above |
And there will be no angels where we go |
We are the Ashen Nectar |
We are the tainted well |
We are the Ashen Nectar |
Side by side, we watch the world go by |
We are the Ashen Nectar |
The last poets of a dying breed |
We are Ashen Nectar |
Our skins our canvases, our paint the blood we bleed |
