illnath – pieta lyrics
your smile so dim, your eyes alive
a gesture hides a vicious lie
your face so clean, but deep inside
i know you’re hiding something
a trace so faint, a chisel’s scar
carved piece by piece who you are
his head held high, but deep inside
i know you’re hiding something
pieta, you’re the one and only truly holy sculpture
so now… sentenced by the divine tool i wheel he falls down
a crack and crackle, a thin black sear
upon the surface pale and raw
frozen for now, neatly carved
deep in silence, clutching at straws
i crush the face, the crumbling lines
an expanding maze that seems alive
again alone, you’re face is gone
still i see no confession coming from
your soul, your core, your hand, your son
still i know you’re hiding something
i sit and wait, then un-create
my mind confused and filled with hate
i marvel at our common fate
still i know you’re hiding something
pieta, you’re the one and only truly holy sculpture
so now… sentenced by the divine tool i wheel he falls down
another crack upon the marble
disfigurement i don’t even enjoy
i see it now, though in vain
i see how perfect art is pain
and as i make you dissolve
i see the secret that i have destroyed
