Carfax Abbey lyrics

Is it simply a kiss of carnal dreams?What once a father to tender sleeplessnessThe deviance of youthful whisperingA majesty to darkness, a visage... my kingdom?My centuries laden with dead emotionTimeless anguish beckons meInto my sleep, the torments of dreamless kinGive unto me a time for redemptionAnd even now beneath the multitude of starsAm I to believe that I stand before god?What pitiful illusion am I expected to see?Shall I exist in my death, to believe in them?As I destroy all you love, before your eyesI bequeath unto thee my forever...For time hath imprisoned meEndowed with the wisdom of centuriesYet the sorrow hath befallen me stillThe chosen few are but to remain with meUnited together within the stillness…Of an age yet to comeMy children of sadness, I welcome thee...Into my arms forever
