Single Phial |
| I have walked the earth so many times before your birth, |
| Today is only yesterday’s tomorrow. |
| And as a Gardner in Eden it was i who sowed the seed then |
| I’ve come to reclaim this life you borrow. |
| Singing 'ring a ring o' rosies' for your final lullabye, |
| Have you any prayers to make before you wave your last goodbye? |
| I bring 'a pocket full o' posies' - lay a wreath to ease my guilt, |
| As the light’s go out forever not one drop of blood was spilt. |
| As yet unwritten history — |
| Once more i stride the lightning road |
| Identity a mystery — |
| My burden is Pandora’s load. |
| Traversing endless centuries — |
| Disguised behind Death’s lipless smile, |
| I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial. |
| I’d have rather seen your face almost any other place |
| Still here we meet — always the way in this profession |
| And as i gaze into your eyes — i see the glimer within dies, |
| From ther moment i first make my dark confession. |
| How could i swear i would be there for you, until your dying day, |
| Certain in the knowledge that it’s not that far away? |
| So you leave me sitting here bewildered as a new dead ghost, |
| While i try to justify destroying that which i love most. |
| As yet unwritten history — |
| Once more i stride the lightning road |
| Identity a mystery — |
| My burden is Pandora’s load. |
| Traversing endless centuries — |
| Disguised behind Death’s lipless smile, |
| I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial. |
| The dark millenium is ending — final daze of the decayed |
| And a reign of tears is falling — it’s the judgement eve parade. |
| Though I wash my hands a thousand times — still the guilt remains, |
| She stole my heart — I took her life … |
| (And yet i never knew her name). |
| As yet unwritten history — |
| Once more i stride the lightning road |
| Identity a mystery — |
| My burden is Pandora’s load. |
| Traversing endless centuries — |
| Disguised behind Death’s lipless smile, |
| I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial. |
| Out with a whimper — not with a bang. |
| And they all gathered round while the church bell rang. |
| Singing 'bring out your dead' they 'll stretch for miles, |
| To be bourne to their graves in single files. |
| As yet unwritten history — |
| Once more i stride the lightning road |
| Identity a mystery — |
| My burden is Pandora’s load. |
| Traversing endless centuries — |
| Disguised behind Death’s lipless smile, |
| I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial. |
