skyclad – single phial lyrics
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
ident-ty 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
ident-ty 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
ident-ty 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
ident-ty 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.
