ColdClaw - A Bastards Afterlife Lyrics

By the lamps of burning oil
In the poorest sight of midnight
A pregnant mothers child
Is forced into this world
He was given gold to symbolize resilience
He was given silver to line his frame
She was given silk to hide her features
She drowned him in the creek without a name
A pregnant mothers child
Inhaled the waters nameless
She knelt beside the water
And bathed her hands of curses
Stomach tangled in knots
Her lips to whisper sermons
Her ears will hear the silence
Of the memory ever stained
We're all born to this
Bloody naked and screaming
All of us equal in the womb
All of us shaking
Fragile to the touch
Feeble and defenseless
A product of this tomb
The suffering senseless
Death comes in the morning
The ultimate price to die
Eyes across the corset
Tongues across the knife
Halos in the bonfire
Extinguished by the night
Saviors in the spotlight
In this bastard afterlife
Welcome to this meaningless
Nothingness emptiness
This vacuumed this space less
This timeless stillness white
Choking in the strangled openness
Beyond the walls of forever
There is nothing
There is nothing
There is nothing beyond these walls
