Elder Misanthropy

Wisdom infinite, held tightly in my grasp My sword one thousand battles strong Ageless I remain, beyond the reach of death Indebted by my soul I have witnessed the birthing of your faith The tribulations, the driving of the stake So slowly this immortal coil unwinds Until the end -- the end of fucking time Blood of the ancient one is burning through my veins The blood of gods man's never known I am the one who cannot die I am the the killer for all time Seeds of infinite hate I've sown I walk the earth enshrouded in its darkness Eclipsing, I claim the flesh of man Ageless I remain with vengeance on my breath Revolted by the meek I have witnessed the birthing of your faith The tribulations, the driving of the stake So slowly this immortal coil unwinds This crumbing world -- has become mine [Chorus] See the creation of this world See it all reduced to ash In the blink of a sunken eye I see one hundred winters pass My blessing, my curse Perpetually I'm damned to earth Of a soul I am bereft Forever dying to be dead Slipping through centuries untouched by human love Void of the simple pleasures that human life provides Forever bound, I lie in wait, undying -- and insane [Chorus]
