Babylon Whores - Life Fades Away lyrics

How high the Sun

For the Lovers, for the Moon

For the Hanged Man

For the Fool

Tread gently with your dancing feet

Over past men in righteous sleep

The princes pale the life that failed

Poisoned they too once had their day

Dance over the graves

And scream for solace out of day

With a grimoire, syringe, a mind unhinged

Oh come what ever may

Watching the world

Pass us slowly by

A corpse into quicklime

Black beneath your eyes

Hey

Life fades away

How high the Sun

For the Devil, for the World

For the Temperance

The Death's dance

In garden green the worm and fiend

Weave beautiful each our dream

Eat at the timbers of sanity

And then we wake up into

Dance over the graves

And scream for solace out of day

With a grimoire, syringe, a mind unhinged

Oh come what ever may

Watching the world

Pass us slowly by

A corpse into quicklime

Black beneath your eyes

Swords to sever limb

Wands to grind the bone

Cups to drain the blood

Coins to shut the eyes

Life fades away

Dance over the graves

Come what ever may
