Funerary Eclipse

from Birth of the Apocalypse by Sympathy

/

lyrics

The forgetfulness of death
Falls like a shroud of finest gossamer
Draping over the soul
As a veil of silver splendour

While shadows set upon the spirit
Restful gloom replaces acumen
The embrace of sleep stills the mind
Life ends in a sigh of peaceful slumber

As the past becomes the future
The remembrance of the living
Of all life’s pleasures and glories
Of all life’s pains and defeats
Seep from those who have gone forth
To set foot in the tepid waters of Lethe

The toils of a life once lived
The striving, Sturm und Drang
Are diminished and released
To fade into the eternal past of forever

The worm destroys and corruption prevails
The grave will claim its own
Redeem the body to the earth
Returning flesh to dust and breath to wind

As the past becomes the future
The remembrance of the living
Seeps from those who have gone forth
To set foot in the tepid waters of Lethe

Under a dismal moon
Let me lay wreaths of flowers
So that the memory of those dead
May survive

The forgetfulness of death
Falls like a shroud of finest gossamer
Draping over the soul
As a veil of silver splendour

The toils of a life once lived
The striving, Sturm und Drang
Are diminished and released
To the eternal past of forever
