Sickness and Strength

from Wild Dog by Shroud Of Despondency

/

lyrics

Where the emptiness persists unto death
The solitude of eternity
Keep yourself sick to make yourself strong
Walking decay called divinity
Convalescence consists of defeat
Pining for a holy seed
Keep yourself sick to make yourself strong
Metamorphosis of nothing

Crooked is the path of eternity
You can't control it so it controls you
Everything breaks and is integrated anew
Except you, you remain broken and in the way

Crooked is the path of eternity
You can't control it so it controls you
Everything breaks and is integrated anew
Except you, you remain broken and in the way

Where the emptiness persists unto death
The solitude of eternity
Keep yourself sick to make yourself strong
Walking decay called divinity
Convalescence consists of defeat
Pining for a holy seed
Keep yourself sick to make yourself strong
Metamorphosis of nothing

I desire cold new beginnings
I am the flesh of God wasting away
When then angels come for my body
I'll demand vultures in their place
You are the archaic writing
Of men too famished to write
When the sickness took over their skeletons
They confused it with death denied
