Nocturne (US-IL) - Rites of Contrition lyrics

Acts of Atrocity Speak louder than words now I can clearly see Actions taken not undone Behold the pain, the Rites of Contrition Actions taken, Lost in the night Blinding sorrow left from this plight Crushing fate, Certain misery Twisted faces I can now see Falling down Depths unknown My pain is my crown Suffering my throne Acts of oath Not undone Embrace the unholy Rites of Contrition Monster under the guise of man Face of flesh, soul that is damned Walk amongst you, You see me not Made of flesh Now left to rot Faith I have not Longing for times that are not I know now my soul is to rot Living now in a world of disease Resting lifeless, but not in peace Fresh air but not to my lungs Withdrawn completely from the wretched sun Imbibe the nectar that started this all The only cure that then let's you fall Now left to rot Faith I have not Ill to the fate That I am the ghastly host No longer a man I now walk as a ghost Another breath inhaled How long can I last? Condemned to rot For the acts of the past Stricken by The one so far away Here inside This hellish realm I stay I am the one who seeks d**h Walking alone in the dark Breathing my last breath Not before I make my mark I embrace the darkness I see quite clearly now My power to harness Kneeling down I make my vow My decent is now To depths, to depths unknown My pain is my crown Suffering my rightful throne I walk as a ghost now No longer in this realm My feet they trudge onward I see neither then or now My vision eclipses the light In this darkness You'll find I'm well
