Tristania

Album:

Illumination

Only ashes and bones remain 
My hair is wet, my eyes are sore 
The past has been fed to the flames 
I cannot breathe anymore 


I try to stand on my feet, but I fall 
I try to walk, but I crawl 
Life – as we knew it, is over 
And you are gone 
Forever gone … 


I will not bend to a cross 
I will not kneel at your feet 


Greed and anger 
Made us younger 
Couldn't save us when the tower fell 
All my strength and all my hunger 
All is lost 
And none will live to tell 


I rest in the ruins of days gone by 
Of young affection and velvet sky 
A slave to greed … 
I do not feel regret anymore 
I sense the presence of birds 
Encircling me … 
And I am gone 


Forever gone...


Dark is the night 
Dead is the moon 
I will not kneel 


I'd rather die 
Facing my doom 
I will not kneel
