In Aeternum lyrics

Tearstained are the halls of my empty soul

Melancholia`s haunting call is the only one I have known

Innocence has lead me into this void

While years eroded a youth I never enjoyed

Through childhood I slept unsheltered from the scorn

Now I`ve awakened with age to love ever lorn

Forever and ever I`ll search for the solace

Which can only be found in an embrace



In throes of desolation I prayed unto divinity

I endured the emptiness and frigid pain but even god had forsaken me

I prayed to find a solace for my heart bereaved

Only to be forgotten by the god I once believed

Now I serve this punishment under the ice condemned

For my loss of faith to hell I was damned

Downfallen in iniquity, desolate I`ll be

My somber stare traverses sepulchers lonely



Eternally, my limbs sealed in place

Livid, and dead I bow my face

The only shelter from the cold

Of the ninth circle of hell



To see what awaits in forever

A lifeless gaze, my final endeavor

I looked through the blackened skies

And beheld the radiance of paradise

My eyes have frozen in false sanctity

Eternally bound, my tears have turned to ice
