Before I Turn
Shrouded Sun
[Verse 1]
I imagined you and me alive and far away
With the sound of your voice, I can still hear it say
"Take me, for my love will die a long and painful death"
But I lost my will to live the night you took away your breath
I surmise that everything will happen for a reason
For my lack of cognizance and for my acts of treason
I can't live knowing that my actions cost her life
And the one I love dearest, I look into your eyes and say

[Chorus]
My love soon we'll die upon a throne
Of repentance and a sentence of eternity alone
Take my soul, sweet shallowing embrace
Soon we'll die together with no tragedy left to face

[Verse 2]
Blood escapes the crevice that killed you deep within
In your chalice of burden and sin
I defy reason and look for the pulse
I drink the toxic philter and wait for my pathetic life to pass
I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
I can't breathe
[Bridge]
My throat is closing, I can't fucking breathe
Foaming at the mouth, as I'm starting to seethe
Vision is whitening, where is my love?
I see her eyes open, oh, what have I done?
She looks at her love as he's fighting for life
Stumbling in tears, she has waken up to find
Her love is dying, he takes his last breath
She grabs the dagger and pierces her chest

[Chorus]
Our lost love will die upon a throne
Of repentance, a sentence of eternity alone
Take my soul, sweet shallowing embrace
An eternity of agony and tragedy to face
Our lost love has died upon a throne
Of repentance and a sentence of eternity alone
Take my soul, sweet shallowing embrace
Suddenly I'm waking up to tragedy to face
I'm burning

[Outro]
"I feel I have woken up to the end of the world. Smoke, ash, blood. A sight I have become far too familiar with. I see no fire, but I hear it roar. I see nobody, but I hear them crying. Was I dreaming this entire time? The sweat drips down my body, slicing me open like a fiery blade. The warming presence begins to fill the room around me. It's grim. It's deathly. I'm terrified. I feel I have woken up to the end of the world. I think I'm still dreaming. I have to still be dreaming."
