Beyond Forlorn Songtext
von Arsis

The dreams of others
Wither by light of day
When the truth′s uncovered
You will find me wasting away
A dark curse upon me
Flesh bound to the whipping post
Hunted and haunted
Stalked by nostalgia the memory of a ghost
Beyond forlorn, the answers lie in loneliness
Disease reborn, I am so full on emptiness
In the heart of torture
Came the vulture's melody To grant my wishes
A pardon from this malady.
A drop of poison
Just a drop to call the armies off
A chance for release
For release is all I ever want
Beyond forlorn, the answers lie in loneliness
Disease reborn, I am so full on emptiness
The greed that blankets passion
Keeps all of our grief in fashion
And as the fervor slowly dies
I damn my soul to open up the sky.


From this failing temple
Draped in scarlet shrouds
The starving statue
Looks on and speaks aloud
Locked inside the famine chamber
I am the prince of emaciation
Under the spell of the coldest slender
Grant me my wish, release the poison.
A dark curse upon me
Flesh bound to the whipping post
A drop of poison
Just a drop to call the armies off.
Beyond forlorn
The answers lie in loneliness
Disease reborn
I am so full on emptiness
The greed that blankets passion
Keeps all of our grief in fashion
Beyond forlorn,
Stalked by nostalgia
My memories are your ghost.
