Songtext von Atonement Denied

Forever lost between Heaven and Hell These aching bones yearn for rest eternal The face in which you place your faith The savior crowned in thorns Uttered the words by which my curse was born The last of my bloodline I watched them wither Their faces and graves forgotten in time My presence is a blight that stirs sickness and ruination Leaving me naught but quiet desperation Choking on the sands of time For days I swung Death defying a grim pendulum To live is to languish Forever lost between Heaven and Hell These aching bones yearn for rest eternal The face in which you place your faith The savior crowned in thorns Uttered the words by which my curse was born Undying anathema Atonement denied Abhorred by the sanctified Choking on the sands of time Forced through the endless march of ages Forever lost between Heaven and Hell The face in which you place your faith The savior crowned in thorns Uttered the words by which my curse was born Kingdoms rise and crumble to dust Fading to nameless nothingness With hollow ache I watch them take mortality for granted Shortsighted, divided, they revel in sin And the madness that seeps from the minds of men Through ceaseless centuries I persist Questless and restless When I break from waking delirium Visitants crawl from death's dominion Whispering psalms of grief Carving tales of misdeeds into my marrow Forlorn, forsaken I pray for the reaper's scythe Condemned to purgatory Forever lost between Heaven and Hell These aching bones yearn for rest eternal The face in which you place your faith The savior crowned in thorns Uttered the words by which my curse was born My curse was born When merciful death takes me to the other side At the gates of Heaven I'll be denied When merciful death takes me to the other side At the gates of Heaven I'll be denied I'll be denied
