Lyrics The Abyss, My Tomb - Soijl

The Abyss, My Tomb

Here I stand, at the very edge of the void
The summit, my aspirations in this world
The abyss, my tomb.
It’s darkness, my final fanfare
Gone is the weight, the soul-crumbling burden of life
Dread…
The bottomless maw awaits
There’s no hope where the sun cannot reach
My soul, my body and my heart, are torn
Even in death, to hopelessness I am sworn
Lifelessness, your shackles are forever mine
A warm welcome, to her and her loving kind
I welcome thee death-mother, bringer of peace and harmony
I rejoice as your fingernails tear at my skin
My funeral, deserted and empty of all life
As I’m falling down, towards the sharp and barren cliffs
Seconds pass, passes on my way, descending down
End is nigh, the fat lady singing, the final curtain call
Sanctuary of blight, corruption and destruction
Born to breathe, fumes of poison.
Nothing, nothing…
Tranquil is the moment I am in
Affection is what I experience
Entwined in this kinship with serenity in death
Pious, yet forlorn my eyes are closing
