"Draped in death, the howl of lore"
Alas, my time is at an end
I have wallowed in self-pity
And I confess to you
As part of (my) final plight
This is the last will and testament of father
(Hear, the last will and testament of father)
(You will find)
A syndicates mass in the waiting room
"Like spiders weave"
And rumors spread fast above "regal" tombs
Enacted grief
I will here unearth the secrets I've been hiding (hiding, hiding)
And guide "my" children through my trials
Put your trust in my command
I thin the blood. I lift my hand
"Draped in death, the howl of lore"
This is the last will and testament of father
(Hear, the last will and testament of father)
Alas, my time is at an end
I have wallowed in self-pity
And I confess to you
As part of (my) final plight
This is the last will and testament of father
(Hear, the last will and testament of father)
(You will find)
A syndicates mass in the waiting room
"Like spiders weave"
And rumors spread fast above "regal" tombs
Enacted grief
I will here unearth the secrets I've been hiding (hiding, hiding)
And guide "my" children through my trials
Put your trust in my command
I thin the blood. I lift my hand
"Draped in death, the howl of lore"
This is the last will and testament of father
(Hear, the last will and testament of father)
