Lyrics: Steve 'Stevu' Jong
Music: Steve 'Stevu' Jong, and WrätH

lyrics

Her cold eyes (motionless) gaze one more time
at the sight (murderous) of my knife.
Her last words (callousness) a breathless wind.
So beautiful (radiance) after death.

Fair was her hair in the wind.
God absolve me of my sin.
How can he forgive what I've done?
What will I be with her gone?
Never has this pain been worse,
than when I first felt remorse.
Moving through what can't be reversed.
Now I must live with this curse.

Now I see their souls burning.
Buried in the ground with their lies.
Here in the end, wither again.
Lying in the grave, love betrays.

Death the only way to escape
a fate worse than hell, go on living.
When all that is left is an empty shell
and I shall dwell on these words;
goddamn her soul.
