Cold As Perfection [Live in Perugia, 2018] Songtext
von Fleshgod Apocalypse

In this passing world
There′s no time to regret
Life's too fast to fold
So why lie to yourself

′Cause there's nothing more
"Can't you see my light?"
That what mirrors behold
"Don′t speak, let me shine bright"
You, my flower blown
By the whispers of age
Beauty in the storm
That relentlessly fades

Cold
Through the winter of life
Pulled down below
Into an ocean of lies
My withering rose


What a dreadful curse
Cast by nature on life
Nothing lasts forever
Can′t turn back the hands of time

Like a grain of sand
"Pray for me my Lord"
In its hourglass awaits
"For the burden I hold"
For the very end
When all torments decay
And the vanity
Will leave your heart in peace

Cold
Through the winter of life
Pulled down below
Into an ocean of lies
My withering rose

"My lady listen to your beloved King
I can see your eyes are now scared
And veiled by the mist of despair
Do not be conquered by your own fears
Don't let the illusion of perfection seduce you
Or you will be lost forever"


Desperate while my youth fades away
Sorrow is dragging my soul down
There′s no word you can say to save me
My love

Cold
Through the winter of life
Pulled down below
Into an ocean of lies
My withering rose
