lifeless - exhumed lyrics
lifeless
(in which the boyhoods of dr. knox and william hare mold their decrepit destinies)
“…from my earliest childhood i have been a dreamer and a visionary… i have dwelt ever apart from the visible world. well did i come to know the presiding dryads of those trees, and often have i watched their wild dances in the struggling beams of a waning moon – but of these things i must not now speak. i will tell only of the lone tomb in the darkest of the hillside thickets…” – h.p lovecraft, the tomb
dr. knox: mem’ry haunts me clearly
the winter of my thirteenth year
wind moaned through headstones dreary
a siren song only i could hear
a fevered brain infected
where terrors sp-wned each night
a young man grew dejected
a waking dream, a fright amongst frights
dr. knox: though my symptoms at last abated
and the coughing fits did surcease
an insalubrious nature gestated
breeding malaise, a subtle disease
narrator: then with each p-ssing breath
in life, he dwelt in death
dr. knox: this truth i now confess:
dr. knox: a morbid mind obsessed
unhealthy thoughts depressed
by cryptic dreams possessed
to ever dwell among, the lifeless
lifeless!
hare: a casket-builder’s low-born boy
child of the grave in name and fact
grey days and nights in dark employ
set destiny ‘pon its deathly path
hare: dismissed as morbid youth
obsessions quite uncouth
led to unpleasant truths
hare / dr. knox: a morbid mind obsessed
unhealthy thoughts depressed
by cryptic dreams possessed
to ever dwell among, the lifeless
as all life ends in death
so with each p-ssing breath
my destiny professed
to ever dwell among, the lifeless
dr. knox: into the family crypt, i stealthily crept
knowing not what i sought ‘mongst the mold and the rot
a sight that was not soon forgot
and as i lay in the grave, finding the solace i’d craved
at peace there with the decayed, though they called me depraved
it was there a dark path was paved
solo – matthew harvey
solo – michael burke
dr. knox / hare: a morbid mind obsessed
unhealthy thoughts depressed
by cryptic dreams possessed
to ever dwell among, the lifeless
as all life ends in death
so with each p-ssing breath
a destiny professed
to ever dwell among, the lifeless
lifeless!
