A Psalm for the Dying Lyrics

A spawn was formed internally
And born unto this world
No one saw the catastrophes
As the stories began to unfold

Fire was caught inside
Of their souls with darkened shrines
They grew sad wings of destiny
And the sun began to shine

Upon this mountain of pain and sorrow
We lay thee down to rest
Make haste into tomorrow

The sun is still burning
The stars are glistening
A sight to see between heaven & hell
We're still listening

Oh, it's a psalm for the dying
We bid you farewell
Yeah, the children are crying
Even though we know, the spirit carries on

A gathering of thousands
To raise this hell on earth
By the hands of sonic gods
We witness the rebirth

Of our sanity redeemed
Their art was made of steel
But could flow like a stream
Through our consciousness we feel

The power of its sound
It echoes through our heads
Our minds they see no bounds
It kills our daily dread

But tomorrow it may be
Only in our memory
For a lack of certainty

Oh, it's a psalm for the dying
We bid you farewell
Yeah, the children are crying
Even though we know the spirit carries on

Oh, we're bleeding for mercy
Please don't take them away
Yeah, they're gone far too soon
And now it's our responsibility
