Lyrics Gone Is My Former Resolve - Paramaecium

Gone Is My Former Resolve

The dead who crave not life, I know not why they lie there floating
They lie devoid of thought, bereft of life and drown in sorrow
Sometimes they scream as life is deprived of them
Life is no dream and death holds no final end
We all must die
Hacking away with the sword at the earth, at the mounds of soil
I try to recover the dead but get naught for my toil
The corpses lie around me in various states of decay
And no matter how hard I try I can’t bring life to their day
Even by touch of the sword they refuse to awaken
And I know they seek life not
And I know they like to rot forever
Even their lives were of no worth
If in their eyes they hate the truth even if it sets them free
Now is not the time to revive
My mind revolts at this revelation
How can it be that they lie calmly in their graves
Resisting life as it pulls at their heart strings
Their cold eyes ever rejecting the truth?
I run with naught in mind but to leave that hateful place behind
I enter darkened earth where Desyr has waited for me from the day of my birth
I cross the bridge of grace along a well worn path
To satiate my flesh within the one they call Desyr
Sorrow, my contemplating
Loving hours passed, I spent my life anticipating sorrow
Thy cold embracing felt like love back then
But now I know that I was tasting sorrow
