Beyond Repent - Pathogen

Here I stand all alone… Punishment done

Here I hide to atone… All my cares gone

But then I was forced to be the leper of you all

An object of scorn

And the harder I clung to you the more I realised

It was forlorn

Forlorn beyond repent

Set free your hatred for me

Let it fly high enough to be unseen

Then purity may begin to seed

Let it fly far enough so that you may be…

Forlorn beyond repent

Oh please God save me

From this wasted life

Before the rise of the dawn

Where death may die…

May die

Approaching on the horizon come the messengers of fear

They ride with eyes staring ice-cold

For here it comes again, searing through my head

Melting to my core

The insane night confusion sheds

Yet I yearn for more

Seething over my mind

Writhing ghoul of black

Loathing forever time

The day I turned my back

Needing for my life

Heeding to the word

Feeding the sacred hive

With morals never learned

Engulfing me more with each sunrise

Comes the lashing pain of dark

Flowing through my body the hopeful fear

As the life drains from my heart…

Numb, cold, lost…
