about

"The Wood of the Self Murderers"

lyrics

Upon the dawning of this Autumn day,
I opened up my eyes
To view the living world that would be mine
to roam in for awhile
Alas for through a stranger's weeping mind,
the sad and lonely moon
Did in my waking tears so softly shine
to dress my day in silver blue

I knew then all the nightmares of his life
I knew then that the end would be soon

And the demons of his life would
follow him into the gloom
Where they wouldn't have to wait for night to fall
before they made him feel the pain
And ever after all the evils of his life
he would know like his own name
And the shining of the lonely moon, he would remember
with every tortured breath he takes

I breathed his sadness on the wind this morn,
his soul fading away
To whispers in the twilight evermore
of the price eternal he is doomed to pay

So now, to you sing I this solemn ode
whose name I'll never know
Alas, these darkest storms of Earthly life,
that you must take your own

I wish you could have lived to see this day
But I know what you'd say:
"It's just like the one before,
and the morning sun beating down upon my face
is such relentless pain
and I don't even care if I ever have to feel
it's cursed warmth again.
What difference would it ever make to you
if I stay or if I go?
You know I don't belong, you know I don't belong
I can't help the way I am"
