Píseň: Thorns On My Grave

Interpret:
Emperor
Album:
Prometheus: The Discipline Of Fire And Demise
"I hereby commit my body to the ground 
sterilised and wrapped in plastic foil 
being an object of this space and time 
this body should remain concealed 


for it holds every disease 
ever exposed 
it holds all pain and death 
I could ever unleash 


beneath deceiving, fragile skin 
breathes the ever growing hate within 


since the first glimpse of my existence 
I have fed this greedy infection 


an aimless search for potential persistence 
found no escape from the fatal injection of life 


for it holds every disease 
ever exposed 
it holds all pain and death 
it could ever unleash 


beneath deceiving, fragile skin 
breathes the ever growing hate within 


I am the father 


I am the son 
my refugee soul has escaped 
this body depraved 
of final wishes I ask none 
but one 
now that I am gone 
lay thorns on my grave"
