A Sequel Of Decay

Tristania

In decadence I take thee by the hand

Too frail...to gain the promised land

Too frail...to take your pain away

Too frail...a sequel of decay



May milleniums gather

On the mirage of desolated souls

Far between departure and sorrow

I breed my afterthought



In thy hours of vast dejection's haunt...wane

An angel strays upon my door

So frail and lost within

To weep upon her days of yore



My decadent come in

Her stain and tears upon my floor

The sorrow that she brings

Devotion of a life outworn



In decadence come in

May thy lids desorb

From emerald seas

A pending solitary

Though thy pain redeems,

Life it seems to be

a fragile sanctuary
