The Repentant

The Repentant - Elvenking

Lyrics by：Davide Moras/Aydan

Composed by：Davide Moras/Aydan

Soil and worms is all I see above from deep down under

Smell of damp and rotten wood

I am still breathing

To live or not to live

To breathe or not to breathe

Should the bell ring for my unearthing

Repent in ash and dust

Unleash all my distrust

In the grasp of the last air gust I breathe

I have a chest full of well-rehearsed speeches I never gave

I have a handful of dialogues I never had with all of you

I have a spoonful of promises

Oaths I never made

Thus never broken

A book of poems that will never see the light of day

Crawling slowly deep under the snow

Death is now watching

As I try to break the riddle

To settle my choice

Dictated penalty

This tragic destiny

I am scratching the wood do I want to die

The frenzy into those eyes

Reminds a past demise

The day I promised to excise

I have a chest full of well-rehearsed speeches I never gave

I have a handful of dialogues I never had with all of you

I have a spoonful of promises

Oaths I never made

Thus never broken

A book of poems that will never see the light of day

All considered

I will now depart

In the arms of this lightless dusk

I bid you farewell

I repent our days of old though

As they have doomed the rest of my life

I have a chest full of well-rehearsed speeches I never gave

I have a handful of dialogues I never had with all of you

I have a spoonful of promises

Oaths I never made

Thus never broken

A book of poems that will never see the light of day

Never see the light of day

Ah
