Dark Decorum Lyrics

Tonight’s the night, I feel
my darkness, it seethes
now unbridled and free
life’s at my mercy
such precision, such ease

hidden no more, in death
my nature, exposed
with each murder, truth bleeds
the plunge brings levity


Pre-chorus:

My darkness calls
it demands a life
it commands me
it guides my life

Chorus:

tonight’s the night
its always the same
I feel nothing, till flesh meets the blade
the moments lost
before it begins
between the glass, nothing but the blood remains



darkness, reflecting me
so empty, and vast
now contained to this point
you’ll only hear my voice
strangulation, intimidation, followed by limb separation
nothing remains of thee
only my memories



(pre-chorus)

(chorus)


born in blood, repressed
the origin, of my life and death
defiled, the innocence
created, such vehemence
the incessant yearning
it tears at my soul
the mask it is slipping
to reveal I’m not whole
the darkness is feeding
I cant stop this feeling
the killing, the bleeding
again, and again, it must...

happen again


how do I justify
the horrors I live
the torment, the shame,
the sickness, the blame
The things, I've sacrifice
to keep my darkness
love, a life, a heart, a soul


(Chorus)


(pre-chorus)


I'll never quell it, no
