Scorns Of Time

Singing that died away 
The nightingale silenced 
In this world, our decadence 
The sweetness turned sour 

Naked and bled 
Her blackened wings spread 
Feathers - burned and frayed 
Sore and sick she fades 

The nestling falls down 
Dead on earth 
As sickness takes hold 
Of the essence 

Naked and bled 
Her blackened wings spread 
Feathers - burned and frayed 
Sore and sick she fades 

Together we die 
Born unable 
Expose the filth 
Suppressed within
