Cult Of Crucifixion Lyrics - Singles - Virgin Black

I will wander 

I will gather my flowers 

Withered and how soon forgotten 

Sing with passion 

Sing with vehemence 

A grief too sad for song 

I pick the gravel from my eyes 

I need no words 

I am a face rid of features 

Curse this heedless folly 

Am I nothing? A plaintive breath, a moment's vision 

Curse this dead... 

And words crowd to my blistered throat 

Dip my wings in your magnificence 

Separate my head from their crucifixion 

I lay at length upon the earth 

Gnats dance through my sable cloak 

I lay at length upon the earth 

Heaven is silent in travailed prayer 

All darkness flaunts before me 

I wish that peace would revisit my mind 

Madness endeavours to soothe me 

Beckon me nearer, whisper discreetly 

When will the sun cease to climb? 

That I may write my last farewell 

To these gaunt residing shadows
