lyrics

Abandoned Garden

The mists embrace the grace of the grave.
The sound of whispers slowly invade.
Through the air a sickness sways.
The breath of life; the poison of veins.
The fire burns the ashes of fate.
Salvation begs us to immolate.

Burn the grave. Spread the flame.
Purge the gates. Flood the veins.

Abandoned garden; sown and reaped.
Flesh; torn by human disease.
Abandoned garden; reborn from flame.
The soil tilled with human remains.

Torn from the earth.
The womb and the birth.

Fragile entity.
Eternal is beauty.

Abandoned garden; sown and reaped.
Flesh; torn by human disease.
Abandoned garden; reborn from flame.
The soil tilled with human remains.

With wings unbound … the fallen fall freely.

The rivers un-dammed will un-damn the sea.

Fragile entity.
Eternal is beauty.

Abandoned garden; sown and reaped.
Flesh; torn by human disease.
Abandoned garden; reborn from flame.
The soil tilled with human remains.

This wilting flower passes by the hour.
To be is not to be.

Fragile entity.
Eternal is beauty.

Abandoned garden left to be.
The flesh will heal from mortal disease.
Abandoned garden; eternal its name.
The dead forgotten the living remain.
