The Apocalyptist (He Did Not Weep for Me)

Do not reach for me and look for surrender Do not read from that soiled book Do you have any life left in you? Do you see the shadows that I live with? Follow me into the setting sun From beneath the ocean for the world is done Hard as the earth, he did not weep for me So I took the gifts I could ill afford My acclamations pierced the sky For the blue-eyed angels that I would defy A charter sealed by a bloody crown And a head was carved way upon the mast And all sailors of the sea were left to drown His sole child now dead, his soul crawling away Sick into the night, folds away from the day He will ask for nothing but the treasure of life From the angel of darkness to a bright shining light Unbind him from all this agony And breaking apart, he now becomes free He lived inside a dream for one hundred years Born inside the night and then reappears You know a secret call that will have him back A true weight on the world, with its feathers all black Against sheer hopelessness he kept on glowing Inside our minds without us even knowing I cannot hold on forever I can’t even lend you my wings These thorns that I deliver For the crown of all kings A charter sealed by a bloody crown And a head was carved way upon the mast And all sailors of the sea were left to drown Blast free of your tears Hold the hand of your fears Grind your altar to dust Know your weapons are just I cannot hold on forever I can’t even lend you my wings These thorns that I deliver For the crown of all kings
