Píseň: ...And I Lust

Interpret:
Anathema
Album:
Serenades
Stately columns standing in solemn rows 
Such empty honours are suitable for those 
Whose death erases all renown and fame 
And vanquishes their glory with their name 


Wandering aimlessly through dead filled fields 
Rewards are just, who knows what absence yields? 


By the golden beauty of dusk 
and the sun low in our sky 
By the haunting shadows of trees 
and graves, mesmerized am I. 


Searching deep inside trying to reach my dreams 
I see a face stare back at me... oh, so serene. 


By the golden beauty of dusk 
and the sun low in our sky 
By the haunting shadows of trees 
and graves, mesmerized am I. 


Those whispering shades... sad, silent glades 


But not for those whose superior worth 
After death extols them to the earth 
I would even venture to assume 
That one need not build for them a tomb 
By human art, since glory heaven sent 
Serves them as a living monument 


Pain is a far away land, 
Misery, a lifetime's journey... 
...and I lust for death (judgement).
