Officium Triste / Cold Mourning
Split
1. Officium Triste - Fading Like a Dying Candle
Here I sit in this room,
staring at this burning candle.
That is my life , that is my doom.
The loneliness I cannot handle.
I'm fading like a dying candle.
Fade......
Fade away .....
Like a dying candle.....
The flame in my soul is fading away.
No place on earth left for me to stay.
From light to black through veils of grey.
As the candle burning bright dies today.
This empty room where I sit,
staring at this dying candle.
A piece of wax, that I've lit.
Reflects the life I cannot handle.
I'm dying like a fading candle.
Fade....
Fade away.....
Like a dying candle....
Fade away...................................
2. Officium Triste - Downfall (Through Veils of Grey)
The flame in my soul has faded away.
Into blackness I fall through veils of grey.
Through a tunnel filled with mist.
I realise my life is over, I no longer exist.
Looking into the distance I see no light.
In the everdark my soul eternally hides.
Transfixed by the thought if this is my hell.
Deep down in the everynothing I fell.
Into Blackness
Confused....I realise I already went through hell
while living in an empty room....
Confused....with everything in the outside world
behind the walls where I sat staring at a dying candle.
I'm falling forever!!!!!!
The flame in my soul has faded away.
Into blackness I fall through veils of grey.
Through a tunnel filled with mist.
I realise my life is over, I no longer exist.
Looking into the distance I see no light.
In the everdark my soul eternally hides.
Transfixed by the thought if this is my hell.
Deep down in the everynothing I fell.
3. Cold Mourning - Fall of Life
Standing alone edge of the cliff
Jumping into reality
No one here me and my ways
Am I left behind you
To come as far as I have gone
Live my life so incomplete
The cliff stands tall far and high
Suffer til the day I die
Now in my fall from the cliff
Will you be there to laugh at me
Falling apart from my plain
Living a life of living hell
No one to blame except myself
For things that can't be unchanged
Standing alone edge of the cliff
Jumping into the fall of life
4. Cold Mourning - In the Midst of Stones
Behold the sound of inner suffering
Sorrow to death into damnation
Alone as man who lives for dying
In the midst of stones lies a bed of dying
We climb the trees without ending
Forgive us all our sins of need
I stand before you witness to your sins
This cross all black for your kind
Dying roses at my feet Amen
In the midst of stones lies a bed of dying
We climb the trees without ending
Forgive us all our sins of need
