Testo di 'What Slept Beneath Tarvos (feat. Left to Suffer & Hollow Front)' di The Wise Man's Fear

Shadow of a man
Broken pedestal stand
Stuck carving out time and these lines in the sand
Blood and bone cut knife in my hand
But I can't find any more strength
To keep it up

So now it's you up against all this hate in me
I thrive in the pain
You think there's something left to kill inside of me

Just know I left my frail humanity
With the dead buried in the frost
And I will pile bodies into this hole
Until they stack so high that I can fight you eye-to-eye so tell me

Don't you know
My frozen blood won't mind a little cold
It won't be long now
I've caught your scent
I'm closing in

Gnash your teeth
Until they crumble from your skull
Totems clawed
From the malintent of bornless bastards
Rotted gods
Looking down from where they perch
Sitting in insidious cities

Dancing like autumn leaves
Clinging to dying trees
Dancing like autumn leaves
Clinging to dying trees

If it's do or die
Then I might turn a blind eye
Just so I can be there when you fall down from the sky
I don't mind scorching skylines
Don't step up if you're not ready for the kickback

So now it's you up against all this hate in me
I thrive in pain
You think there's something left to kill inside of me
Primal bloodstain

So pull me
Into a death that we deserve
The dying leaves
Falling to earth

I lift my eyes up to a mourning sky
That's not good enough
That's just not good enough
A million angels weep blood for my crimes
That's not good enough
It's just not good enough
I'm sorry past the feeble power of my final words
I understood enough, but that's not good enough
A thousand centuries I've prayed you might return
But that's not enough
It's never good enough
