Elder Misanthropy
(The Black Dahlia Murder)
Wisdom infinite, held tightly in my grasp
My sword one thousand battles strong
Ageless i remain, beyond the reach of death
Indebted by my soul
I have witnessed the birthing of your faith
The tribulations, the driving of the stake
So slowly this immortal coil unwinds
Until the end -- the end of fucking time
Blood of the ancient one is burning through my veins
The blood of gods man's never known
I am the one who cannot die
I am the the killer for all time
Seeds of infinite hate i've sown
I walk the earth enshrouded in its darkness
Eclipsing, i claim the flesh of man
Ageless i remain with vengeance on my breath
Revolted by the meek
I have witnessed the birthing of your faith
The tribulations, the driving of the stake
So slowly this immortal coil unwinds
This crumbing world -- has become mine
See the creation of this world
See it all reduced to ash
In the blink of a sunken eye
I see one hundred winters pass
My blessing, my curse
Perpetually i'm damned to earth
Of a soul i am bereft
Forever dying to be dead
Slipping through centuries untouched by human love
Void of the simple pleasures that human life provides
Forever bound, i lie in wait, undying -- and insane
See the creation of this world
See it all reduced to ash
In the blink of a sunken eye
I see one hundred winters pass
My blessing, my curse
Perpetually i'm damned to earth
Of a soul i am bereft
Forever dying to be dead!
