The Art Of Resurrection lyrics

The blunted razor bow glides O'er the rusted strings of life Another hapless soul is gone And shall be on the table tonight Though knowledge too does cost Every man must have his price I'll drink to that before I set about the town to feed my vice Tip-toe past headstones laughing Dark lanterns blink in passing fog Eyes gleaming, hearts beaming Graveward we go, scheming The act of desecration Soothes the raging conflagration Happy as the day is long But is it enough for me? This is my calling This is my fate This is my destiny This is the only way Once upon a moonlit murder Once upon a sinful eve A feeling oh so pure It's flesh for coin, and death for the joy we receive Yes, Auld Reekie has secrets to hide And come sundown, folks are terrified But it's the name of the game, and a curse of the mind Ask no questions, drown the light inside This is my calling This is my fate This is my destiny This is the only way Once upon a moonlit murder Once upon a sinful eve A feeling oh so pure It's flesh for coin, and death for the joy we receive Like wraiths amongst the shadows Are my nocturnal sect Black is the road I follow I resurrect 'Tis not light work, this night work is a pain My pockets jingle though, so all is not in vain The silent kill, the violent thrill, it is second to none I am not evil, I am merely just a passenger on this world's trip around the Sun Once upon a moonlit murder Once upon a sinful eve A feeling oh so pure It's flesh for coin, and death for the joy we receive Like wraiths amongst the shadows Are my nocturnal sect Black is the road I follow I resurrect
