Thorns of the carrion by the brilliance of candlelight lyrics

In the day, in the night

To all, to each thy sadness

For thy words, for thy pain

Shall speak for all time



For snakes of silver throat lie in wait for thee

As I sing a death hushed dirge of suffering, shining gray



On dew kissed mourning grounds I burn the candles black

For the sun shall rise and light this poppied field

And all thy weeping words will flee from thee

For all the sorrow I have known, Shall bleed in silence

And as she sways thee softly in time

I see that I am nothing, but broken shards of emptiness



All I've known, All I've touched

Shall wither in her raven arms

All I've known, All I've loved

Shall perish in the embrace



Yet know I'm dying, dying, dying for....thee

For life is tragedy in remembrance
