Gazing Into A Placid Stream lyrics

Artist  : Withered Earth 
Song : Gazing Into A Placid Stream
 
Secluded, I sit motionless on the grasy knoll

A calm wind warms me, The Sun guides me.

Silently my eyes do close and through them I see
the stream.

In the Waters I see the temple aglow

Red now flows the water as the skies burn an
orchid hue.

Crumbled are the Ancient ruins of Purity

There once white color is charred black

Above them burn stars in forms of black

I cower at these visions



Haunted by these images I see my truest love her
body lays quiescent

Her raped and battered corpse lays on pools of
her innocence and warmth

Her tears blind me while I kneel to embrace the
deceased; I look away

I gaze into the stream once again

and see my eyes cold and crazed they stare
back

For what is to come you will never know.

I have seen the violence destroy the vanity
inside.

I have seen the black blind the sighted,

and passion deafen the ones who can hear.

Before me lay the three dead prophets, dead by
there own hands.

For this I laugh
