Ave Noctem

Rites Of Contrition

by Nocturne

on Ave Noctem (2013)

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Withdrawn completely from the wretched sun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 death
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
