A Shapeless Derelict Songtext

Barren Earth

von On Lonely Towers

A Shapeless Derelict Songtext
As dry as they come
This desert 'neath a hollow sun
With nothing ahead
But the ragged shapes of the dead

A smile of the crazed
Comes, settles and stays
Empty before me, empty behind
And the sun forever shines
Nothing is the fire inside
This be all end of life
Waiting for the flame
To tear through the game
Ashes
Night to revive

The merciless tide
That brings neither change nor life
Carries a shapeless derelict
On spectral waves of static

There is a locker inside
Where my heart forever lies

On burning fields of blackened grain
The flesh is a lie
I am but a sigh
In a storm of soul debris
Wrecked is the ship that tore through the crust
For untold ages is strode with tattered bloody flags
But in the depths where black voids erupt
A still force engulfed the vessel's might
