Oath of Humiliation

I stand by the river where we once met and listen to all that surrounds
The water is mute, the flow still resounds

Shaken from my trance, eyes fixed on the stream
Curling water forms what I can't stand to see
Once again, my flight begins

The memories that connect us seem like a mere dream
Seeping into our lives by strange, foreign means
The shame this causes shakes me to my very core
And makes me curse you and this oath I once swore

Nibbling little leeches are trapped in my flesh
Growing fat and old, feeding on my distress
My agony and sins

The memories that connect us seem like a mere dream
Seeping into our lives by strange, foreign means
The shame this causes shakes me to my very core
And makes me curse you and this oath I once swore

The rustling of the leaves, a song of the woods
A tune ingrained in me, a hymn to ash and soot
An ancient prayer once conceived for our cruel Lord above
Now a testament to my undying love

Ashes to ash
And dust to dust
Come hither, smite
All those who lost
Their faith in jaws
Of Temptation
And save the sickly
Souls again

Ashes to ash
And dust to dust
Come hither, smite
All those who lost
Their faith in jaws
Of Temptation
And save the sickly
Souls again

Oh Lord
Why didst thou create us feeble men?
Mere slaves to love and torment
Hate flows like blood in our veins
Life in eternal punishment

Oh Lord
Why didst thou create us feeble men?
Mere slaves to love and torment
Hate flows like blood in our veins
Life in eternal punishment

The memories that connect us seem like a mere dream
Seeping into our lives by strange, foreign means
The shame this causes shakes me to my very core
And makes me curse you and this oath I once swore

The wind hums a melody while the dance goes on
Sudden awakening, I burst into song
The shame I feel lingers on and slows me down
I am chained forever, please take this vow
