Deadsong
Tuomas Saukkonen
The container of my soul was severed from my shell
At birth I was stigmatized by fires of hell
The hollow space inside is growing still
It's going for the kill
Beneath the bloodred sky the song was born
The sky was bleeding when I sang her the deadsong
By my burning cradle the lullaby of death
Was sung by dark angels
The daughters of flame
She slept under my wings, a cold embrace
Death's loyal servant now filled with pain
Forever haunted by her angelic face
By my burning cradle the lullaby of death
Was sung by dark angels
The daughters of flame
These chains
Hold me down
Down on this frozen ground
In this world
Where death walks the earth
The sign of reaper
Given in birth
