Abode of Distress

Now I'm just a shadow that walk adrift
 Melancholia rotting like leaves in the garden of time
 Sculpture in silence that nothing fears
 Accursed to bear this load alone
 Old distress, I'm still waiting for your ephemeral words
 Looking for calmness, but the truth hurts
 When I find out that your strange words are misery
 Endless lies, trapped among groans night after night
 Sculpture in silence that nothing fears
 Accursed to bear this load all alone
 Signs of hidden truths under my skin
 Arcane heart awaiting its dreaded hour
 Disowned from this world, doomed to loneliness
 Abandoned and sear in this chasm of silence
 Old, decrepit and dying, shrouded in a veil of chaos
 Deadened and weakened, ghost of a passing world
 Old distress, I'm still waiting for your ephemeral words
 Looking for calmness, but the truth hurts
 When I find out that your strange
 words are misery, the worst of the miseries
 Endless lies, trapped among groans night after night
