Thy Requiem Lament Songtext
von Consecration

Encased within my pale shell I now lay
Destined slowly to wither and decay
Familiar faces I can see – A vigil by my side
Unable to converse as I drift deeper inside

In recent times, in pain, I had to withdraw
Sinking deeper within myself
Accepting soon I shall be no more
Deterioration, despair – In solitude confined
In grief I hold no resentment
Held captive within my mind

Although I wish to tell you – I cannot speak
Yet my enduring love will forever be
My screams go unheard – My body wracked with pain
In agonizing stasis, I must now remain


Slowly consumed from within myself
Incurable comatose state yet fully awake
Do not endure my restless sleep
Fond memories of old I wish you to keep

Reduced to a ghost by the onset of disease
Yet this image of me is not wanton to be seen
Distorted beyond recognition I shalt be
In my twilight hours – Be glad I shall soon be free

I beseech you now to remember the person I (once) was
The life I have lived before all hope was lost
What I became in all of my years
For these moments I have left – Please shed me no tears

My legacy will prevail when I′m finally gone
Now as my end time arrives – Peace will finally come
To be free from the (endless) anguish and despair
I shalt suffer no more, as my body doth perish

Hold tight your grief, I must henceforth depart
Keep always a place for me deep within your heart
Know I will look over you from wherever I reside
My memory will live on after this body has died
