Hymn To Death lyrics

A river flows beside me A rose withers inside thee Every promise broken Torn away, sold into slavery Will you walk beside me? Will you try to guide me? Teach me what I know Or hang about while evil roams free? I stared into the abyss When I had nothing left I gave the Queen of Hel a kiss And I lost all fear of death Singing Ring a Rosie Bleached earth yields no posies Dust to dust we fade A slow decay, the same old story Listen as the death bell rings Do you hear the words I sing? Will you cry aloud As acid clouds melt through everything? I stared into the abyss When I had nothing left I gave the Queen of Hel a kiss And I lost all fear of death A hymn for the dying and the damned For all those buried in the land That every night with my last breath I will sing this Hymn to Death
