Lyrics

Only for the wind I lay myself down
Feeling this scarlet scent of death
Under ebony shades I dream of a child
Dancing in heaven

I must have seen this face before
A monument of shallow sorrows
Under ebony shades a child now dies
But grievance won't regain

Something grasp for my soul
I think it's god
But my sorrow is dragging me down
Through my sins

Where is god in his heaven
Why am I a twisted mind
Now I see the light above
But in darkness I must fall

For my soul you pray at last
Will I find my place?
The stench of sorrow that pierce my flesh
Can never be pure

When the blackness overwhelms me
Where shall I turn
To run away to never look back
To run away from evil

Only for the wind I lay myself down
Feeling this scarlet scent of death
Under ebony shades I dream of a child
Dancing in heaven, dancing in heaven

I must have seen this face before
A monument of shallow sorrows
Under ebony shades a child now dies
But grievance won't regain

Dancing in heaven
