It Grieves My Heart

The world is falling
So cold and grey
Shallow and empty life lingers on

It grieves my heart, it tears me apart
I hear this constant disharmony

"Now
Now I ride with the mocking and friendly ghouls on the night-wind
And play by day in the catacomb
I know that light is not for me"

Lost in a dead world
With broken wings

Human reality feeds upon a whore
For what idols have these lowlifes bowed their heads
To build up an empty world?
Kill the bitch on the cross
Scorn their sacred loss
And the sheeps are making love to the madness of the flow
Is this all they know?

Madness of the flow
Is this all they know?

The madness of the flow will take the final blow
As the sun goes down over mankind's tomb
In the universal graveyard of filth and slime
This is our time

I'm lost in the sick world
Beholding the corruption

Curse them all
Lead them astray
It grieves my heart
They won't go away

"Now I ride with the mocking and friendly ghouls on the night-wind
And play by day in the catacomb
I know that light is not for me
Save that rock
But I know always that I am an outsider
Stranger in this century
Stranger among those who are still men"
