Shed the Skin to Receive the World

from Melancholia by Abandoned by Light

/

lyrics

A spirit of torment screaming out
Painted in the blood of its sins
Bearing the wounds of the darkness
Lacerated veins witness force
Forged of the fabric of night

Violent and jagged edges
Slice at the edges of the sun
To remove the light from us
The screams dying away at last
Into silent despair at this life

Phantom pains become reality
Regretful wanderer of empty silence
Shed the skin to receive the world
And bear the agonised fruit of life
Nightmares scratch claw marks deep

A worm that seeks the light
Worthless creature of pity
Creeping back from its shame
To crawl into the throat of purity
And hide from wretched light

A deep, violent self-extinction
Born from the womb of horrors
Ghosts of hope, raped of bodies
Shed the skin, to receive the end
Free the guilt and pain bleeding

Vanishing eyes from empty skulls
Plucked tongues, ripped and tossed
The burdens of consciousness abandoned
Raising limbs forged of wounds higher
Shed the skin to receive the world again
