Song lyric time (yet again)
Jan. 27th, 2005 10:29 pmHardly audible in the song, but even as it stands it works well as poetry.
Apocalyptica - Betrayal/Forgiveness
Perttu Kivilaakso
all that I ever wanted
-to understand my nightmares
possessed by my fears
betrayed by my Pride
alone I wandered in the deepest Dark
seeking comfort from the vanity
each time I escape the Real
my soul died, died a bit more
confronting the evil within
praying for my angel to appear
agonized whisper into the emptiness
begging for salvation - salvation for this cursed mind
Words without meaning
Touch without feeling
-I did not recognize my own face...
eyes that were once shining
-now extinguished
left only a silent cold
sound of a tear falling down
in the desperate hour of loneliness
this shattered heart reaching
for it's relief - the relief it can not find
Glance without affection
Kiss without sensitivity
Promise without comprehension
Love without hope
-I do not remember my own tale...
betrayed by my Anger
betrayed by my Beliefs
betrayed by my Delusions
betrayed by my Lust
(I wish)
Strength - to be released from my demons
(I desire)
Wisdom - to forgive the past
- to forgive Me
