The Black Dahlia Murder

Elder Misanthropy

Wisdom infinite, held tightly in my grasp

My sword one thousand battles strong

Ageless I remain, beyond the reach of death

Indebted by my soul

I have witnessed the birthing of your faith

The tribulations, the driving of the stake

So slowly this immortal coil unwinds

Until the end -- the end of fucking time

Blood of the ancient one is burning through my veins

The blood of gods man's never known

I am the one who cannot die

I am the the killer for all time

Seeds of infinite hate I've sown

I walk the earth enshrouded in its darkness

Eclipsing, I claim the flesh of man

Ageless I remain with vengeance on my breath

Revolted by the meek

I have witnessed the birthing of your faith

The tribulations, the driving of the stake

So slowly this immortal coil unwinds

This crumbing world -- has become mine

See the creation of this world

See it all reduced to ash

In the blink of a sunken eye

I see one hundred winters pass

My blessing, my curse

Perpetually I'm damned to earth

Of a soul I am bereft

Forever dying to be dead

Slipping through centuries untouched by human love

Void of the simple pleasures that human life provides

Forever bound, I lie in wait, undying -- and insane

See the creation of this world

See it all reduced to ash

In the blink of a sunken eye

I see one hundred winters pass

My blessing, my curse

Perpetually I'm damned to earth

Of a soul I am bereft

Forever dying to be dead!
