Contents Within - Tides Of Man

Desolately awaiting nightfall

The cool dead feeling, to fall on my face

Patiently…

And I’ll forget this day

Did you forget me here in this corridor of Hell?

Where I lost my mind to desecration and fear?

Did you leave me behind thinking I would tell your secrets?

Did you leave me to die?

My shroud removed and my body uncovered

Left for the Vultures to tear at my skin

To relish from my skull, the contents within

Here I have lay with these dark demons of prey

Using grimy black talons they disfigured my face

Please God I pray, send your eagle this way

Did you forget me here in this corridor of Hell?

Where I lost my mind to desecration and fear?

Did you leave me behind thinking I would tell your secrets?

Did you leave me to die?

Entirely surpassing the point of apathetic submission I spilled all

Yet with every surrendering word I let slip

The more un-satiated the Vultures became…

I must set things right

I must set things right

Right, right

But sprawled upon this mires coagulated bed

I forget the plentiful pints I bled

And dwell on many more I let them shed

From my honest brother’s blameless head

His blameless head

His blameless head
