Lyrics for Death and the Labyrinth
Behind the curtain Laid to ruins Words that drift Into oblivion With every dawn The world deforms And as we fade Our truth it dies Our poetry of broken dreams An abattoir of time Deep in the hive of the serpent We shed the disguises we have worn A curtain of madmen We are the illusions we have torn Death and the labyrinth Swallowed by earth itself With every dawn Of hunger and thirst The world deforms To a pale uncertain ash Words without sound Fade away as they are swallowed Swallowed by barriers and walls Like a swarm Deep in the hive of the serpent We shed the disguises we have worn A curtain of madmen We are the illusions we have torn Our poetry of broken dreams An abattoir of time Death and the labyrinth Swallowed by earth itself
