Atonement Denied Lyrics

Forever lost between heaven and hell
These aching bones yearn for rest eternal
The face in which you place your faith
The savior crowned in thorns
Uttered the words by which my curse was born

The last of my bloodline
I watched them wither
Their faces and graves forgotten in time
My presence is a blight that stirs sickness and ruination
Leaving me naught but quiet desperation

Choking on the sands of time
For days I swung
Death defying
A grim pendulum

To live is to languish

Forever lost between heaven and hell
These aching bones yearn for rest eternal
The face in which you place your faith
The savior crowned in thorns
Uttered the words by which my curse was born

Undying anathema
Atonement denied
Abhorred by the sanctified

Choking on the sands of time
Forced through the endless march of ages

Forever lost between heaven and hell
The face in which you place your faith
The savior crowned in thorns
Uttered the words by which my curse was born

Kingdoms rise and crumble to dust
Fading to nameless nothingness
With hollow ache I watch them take mortality for granted
Shortsighted divided
They revel in sin and the madness that seeps from the minds of men

Through ceaseless centuries I persist
Questless and restless
When i break from waking delirium
Visitants crawl from death's dominion
Whispering psalms of grief
Carving tales of misdeeds into my marrow

Forlorn
Forsaken
I pray for the reaper's scythe

Condemned to purgatory
Forever lost between heaven and hell
These aching bones yearn for rest eternal
The face in which you place your faith
The savior crowned in thorns
Uttered the words by which my curse was born

When merciful death takes me to the other side
At the gates of heaven I'll be denied
