Godspeed To Your Deathbed Lyrics - Asylum Of The Human Predator - Hell Within

A dead mother's eyes 

Transfixed in endless sorrow 

Hard times to bury a son 

Some say we will live on 

Hope fills the depths of their hearts 

Of blind faith I surely am not 

These passing years have stolen my smile 

My reflection a stranger 

Behind the attic door 

Between the silhouettes 

The wet kiss of death in the night-time mist 

Upon the autumn leaves 

Your words are carried to me 

I know it kills you that my own hands set me free 

These passing years have stolen my smile 

(my time) 

My reflection a stranger 

(my reflection seems stranger) 

This young shell harbored an old man 

(why try?) 

Set me free from this nightmare 

It's over now 

Rest your head awhile 

The fear 

Is the illusion of darkness 

Death is not the end 

Inside decaying eyes 

My murdered spirit lies 

My body burns with the glow of a funeral pyre 

Procession gathered 'round 

I never heard a sound 

Ash to the wind 

Never underground 

These passing years have stolen my smile 

(my time) 

My reflection a stranger 

(my reflection seems stranger) 

This young shell harbored an old man 

(why try?) 

Set me free from this nightmare 

It's over now 

Rest your head awhile 

The fear 

Is the illusion of darkness 

Death is not the end 

Death is not the end.... 

Burn my flesh of this rotting shell 

Grind my bones into dust and ash 

Send my soul to oblivion 

Erase these hollow, fucking years 

Cleanse yourself from my putrid life 

Become my ghost and kill yourself 

It's over now 

Rest your head awhile 

The fear 

Is the illusion of darkness 

Death is not the end 

Death is not the end..... 

Do not falter 

Pull the trigger 

Absolve your wretched existence
