I Am Witness To A Murder
Something’s about to happen
I hear the sound of its approach
Screams of children in the night
Blinded as they crawl
But I am not to blame
For this wandering disease
Footsteps on steel
Rocked by the wind
The outline of the mountains
The artists of decay
The legions of hell awakened
We’ve all been here before
In the heart of a dead city
At the foot of a strange hill
The distant cries of battle
Of a war that will not still
Everybody here will die before too long
The dark eyes of the killer
Dissolve into the night
Eternal dancers in the ruins
Under the heavy sea
There is no escape
The air is thick and calm
Animals with blood in their eyes
Scatter in the trees
Our blood is rich with wine
The innocence of the grave
Rising from the boredom
To burst the seeds of doom
Enclosed in this illusion
Erasing all my fears
I drink the fever of the night
Pretending not to die
I am witness to a murder
