Uriel's Elegy
Broken songs of contempt leak from the hole in her sideThis self-sanctified saint with everything to hide
Her wings are torn to shreds, her halo is breaking
Laughing faces answer the smile that she's faking
Those black holes in her eyes
No longer mesmerise
This uncanny beauty that once made her divine
Has ceased to shine.
Fade to grey, run far away
Forget this friendship in decay
There are no tunes left for us to play
No reason left to stay
There is nothing left to say
Let us finish this cliché, end this circle of hate
Like a halo on your head - Let us end this masquerade
Leave you to drown in your hate, there is nothing to see
But a barren, scarred landscape – at last we are free
If we believe in these lies,
Perhaps we'll fail to realise
That the shadows that are scaring you out of your mind
Are only to be seen, because you have gone blind
This memory that seems to be
That lingers here in agony
Eyes crucified, I cannot see
Believe these lies that set us free
That will end this tragedy
