And We Dream of Our Demise Songtext
von Enthring

I walk past the statues with forgotten names, with forgotten lore, with forgotten ways, for days
Whispers those ancient send on my way, I close my mind, wisdom has no value today, if never again!
I work as the eyes for the hand that points the kill. Like a raven, raving, upon a feast I am thrilled

I thought I was a perfectly made mold, with a moral high as mountains and a heart made out of blazing gold
Behold the sudden downfall of a man, swiftly like a storm wind the spiral shows the end of its path
I work as the hand for the sword that deals the kill. Like a... a wolf, howling, upon a hunt I am thrilled

I sit with bare feet, holding all I′ve loved in my life
On my throne of dreams, merely above the ground
Oh, what i wouldn't do to achieve all that wealth?
For it all I love I′d... I'd pulverize, crush and kill
I'd pulverize, crush and kill


Now our gears start to rust
And we dream of our demise
When we′re gasping for air
Our lungs only reach dust
And I fear death; I′ve seen it much more than trust in my life
I wish just once before the end
My feet would again touch the ground

Someone here must have seen the light, so I can have my shadows, so I can live my shade of life
And I have burned all the bridges to my past, now they lie in ashes and I burn the whole world if I can
Now I am the eyes, the hand and the sword. This dreary day is fit to end this lore

I sit with my crown, more priced than man's life
On my throne of gold high above the ground
And I fear death; I′ve dealt it much more
Than trust in my life
I wish just once before the end
My feet would touch the ground again

Now our gears start to rust
And we dream of our demise
When we're gasping for air
Our lungs only reach dust
And I fear death; I′ve seen it much more than trust in my life
I wish just once before the end
My feet would again touch the ground
