Nevermore
The Psalm of Lydia
[Instrumental Intro/Guitar Solo]
[Verse 1]
When I blacked out
In the winter months of Capricorn
I had a strange dream
That I lived a thousand winters gone
A thousand winters' faded gray
And shuttered by the wind
To tell the tale of Lydia
Her legacy begins
Uprising
Unveiling
The absurdity in the tragedy of man
And its hero, the all-seeing worm
[Chorus]
The pain is born from memory
Of pleasures unparalleled and pure
In velvet sleep, I live the past again
[Bridge]
There is no chance to release me
No answer to bring peace
Some people conjure dreaming
Sanctified, electric karmic burn through
[Instrumental Break/Guitar Solos]
[Verse 2]
The pigs, they marched from under
To pull down the moon
And summon the bringer of doom
Now sullen, the demons fade away
And summon their final call
Lydia slayed them all
[Chorus]
The pain is born from memory
Of pleasures unparalleled and pure
This is the psalm of Lydia
[Outro]
Oh, my sweet Lydia, the others have told me
"Tis not your time to leave"
"It is not your time
You've so much more to see"
