Cradle Song

Byzantine

I breathe alone in silence
I watch the common pass
Lie in a state so dormant
To commit a sin so ancient
This world that I depleted
Tomb of memories so chiasmic
It goes beyond all temptation
So dark in you I deepen

I kissed the cross burned in my head
I cursed the sun blinding my eyes
Nurture the night which shields my life
I fear that I'm forever

I'll climb the mountains, swim the seas
To find a cure for my disease

Burn away burn away the day

A cast of thousands bleed
Cater to my worldly needs
I shun the light I shun the breeze
Forever cursed I'm on the bleed
I've killed the world to be alive
Rejected change to modify
Nurture the night which shields my life
I fear that I'm forever

I'll climb the mountains, swim the seas
To find a cure for my disease

You feel the pulse inside
You left the light behind
I give you change inside
You are one of a kind

Burn away burn away the day
