Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sweat on the brow runs over faces made of snow
There comes a time in life when death may come too slow
[Verse 2]
Honesty in the necrology
The offspring smear your name in print
[Verse 3]
You have waited far too long, but Spring is set in bloom
You have conquered love inside, yet sorrow is your doom
[Verse 4]
The debts are long since paid, inheritance is set
Still agitation reels inside, lest you forget
Lest you forget
[Verse 5]
At sunrise Friday morning, a haven for your sins
The written dedication etched into your skin
[Verse 6]
Time won't heal the wounds you bare
Between old pride and desperate prayers
[Verse 7]
Time won't heal any wounds you bare
A set few years of your life are stolen
Light cast on the obvious
Behold the white when it's faded golden
[Verse 8]
A stranger's truth holds no water here
But soon we may have learned
Dead sympathy, an aversion proceeds
[Verse 9]
A voice lives in your chest that comforts wary thoughts
Yet the brook is still too wide to bridge the gap you've sought
[Verse 10]
Honesty in the necrology
The offspring smear your name in print
[Verse 11]
You trade your vices every day religiously
A pack of vultures wait for everyone to see
[Verse 12]
You gave away too much, a harness on your kin
For any transgressions never mirrored mortal sin
Mortal sin
[Verse 13]
You're still alone
[Verse 14]
The day in zenith now you made it through the night
Voice of perdition came and went far out of sight
