Single Phial

Skyclad

Composição de: Martin Walkyier
I have walked the earth so many times before your birth, 
Today is only yesterday's tomorrow. 
And as a Gardner in Eden it was i who sowed the seed then 
I've come to reclaim this life you borrow. 

Singing 'ring a ring o' rosies' for your final lullabye, 
Have you any prayers to make before you wave your last goodbye ? 
I bring 'a pocket full o' posies' - lay a wreath to ease my guilt, 
As the light's go out forever not one drop of blood was spilt. 

[Chorus:] 
As yet unwritten history - 
Once more i stride the lightning road 
Identity a mystery - 
My burden is Pandora's load. 
Traversing endless centuries - 
Disguised behind Death's lipless smile, 
I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial. 

I'd have rather seen your face almost any other place 
Still here we meet - always the way in this profession 
And as i gaze into your eyes - i see the glimer within dies, 
From ther moment i first make my dark confession. 

How could i swear i would be there for you, until your dying day, 
Certain in the knowledge that it's not that far away? 
So you leave me sitting here bewildered as a new dead ghost, 
While i try to justify destroying that which i love most. 

As yet unwritten history - 
Once more i stride the lightning road 
Identity a mystery - 
My burden is Pandora's load. 
Traversing endless centuries - 
Disguised behind Death's lipless smile, 
I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial. 

The dark millenium is ending - final daze of the decayed 
And a reign of tears is falling - it's the judgement eve parade. 
Though I wash my hands a thousand times - still the guilt remains, 
She stole my heart - I took her life ... 
(And yet i never knew her name). 

As yet unwritten history - 
Once more i stride the lightning road 
Identity a mystery - 
My burden is Pandora's load. 
Traversing endless centuries - 
Disguised behind Death's lipless smile, 
I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial. 

Out with a whimper - not with a bang. 
And they all gathered round while the church bell rang. 
Singing 'bring out your dead' they 'll stretch for miles, 
To be bourne to their graves in single files. 

[Chorus:] 
As yet unwritten history - 
Once more i stride the lightning road 
Identity a mystery - 
My burden is Pandora's load. 
Traversing endless centuries - 
Disguised behind Death's lipless smile, 
I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial.
