What's the cold, ghastly breath Sowing shivers onto my neck? It was a lie right from the start - Utopias dreamt while sleeping in the open grave The future has grown within my flesh to the size of a cathedral And my inner strength will never allow it to fall To see what’s behind the wall of death you need just a pillar When knife cuts the heart - corpse turns into stone But what's the cold, ghastly breath Sowing shivers onto my neck? It was a lie right from the start - Utopias dreamt while sleeping in the open grave Spare me one more dawn for the ghosts to hear my prayers out Oppressed by painful doubts, tentacles and rats spare me one more dawn Is something here? Resuscitating rotten corpse Buried knee deep in snowy mud Blackest mouth, highest hopes Sprinkling the putrid flesh with golden dust But what's the cold, ghastly breath Sowing shivers onto my neck It was a lie right from the start - Utopias dreamt while sleeping in the open grave
