Beneath the Mire

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Haunted nights for halcyon days Can't sleep to the scraping of his voice Nature's way struck grief in me And I became a ghost in sickness Willingly guided into heresy Beneath the surface, stark emptiness And you'd pity my conviction Whereas I thought of myself as a leader [Verse 2] You'd cling to your pleasant hope It is twisted fascination While I'd ruin the obstacles into despair And I'm praising death [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Lost love of the heart In a holocaust scene memory [Guitar & Keyboard Solo] [Verse 4] Decrepit body wearing transparent skin Inside, the smoke of failure [Verse 5] Wept for solace and submit to faith In his shadow I am choking, yet flourishing, master! [Verse 6] A delusion made me stronger Yet I'm draped in pale withering flesh I sacrificed more than I had And left my woes beneath the mire [Guitar Solo]
