It Grieves My Heart

The world is falling so cold and grey
Shallow and empty life lingers on

It grieves my heart, it tears me apart
I hear this constant disharmony!

Now I ride with the mocking and friendly ghouls on the night-wind
And play by day amongst the catacombs
I know that light is not for me

I'm Lost in a dead world
With broken wings!

Human reality feeds upon a whore!
For what idols have these lowlifes
Bowed their heads to build up a empty world?
Kill the bitch on the cross
Scorn their sacred loss!
And the sheeps are making love to the madness of the flow!
Is this all they know?

The madness of the flow will take the final blow
As the sun goes down over mankind's tomb
In the universal graveyard of filth and slime
This is our time!

I'm Lost in a sick world
Beholding the corruption!

Curse them all! Lead them astray!
It grieves my heart they won't go away!

Now I ride with the mocking and friendly ghouls on the night-wind
And play by day amongst the catacombs
I know that light is not for me, save that of the moon
I know always that I am an outsider; a stranger in this century
Stranger among those who are still men
