Cobalt London Smaug - Despair lyrics

(E. Pugh)<br />

And where darkness reigns<br />

And shadows lurch<br />

I spread my wings<br />

To leave my perch<br />

And up in your skies<br />

I am within a disguise<br />

And for all not to see<br />

I am not one with me<br />

I hide behind this mask<br />

As if to fulfill a task<br />

The little boy inside<br />

Closed his eyes and cried<br />

And the pleading of his cries<br />

Is seen by no eyes<br />

Such despair I decree<br />

I no longer know me<br />

I live upon a table<br />

On which nothing can be seen<br />

But upon that very table<br />

Lies the emptiness of me<br />

Flying high above<br />

I see dark ahead<br />

But to the light I turn<br />

To face good instead of bad<br />

And the pleading of his cries<br />

Is seen by no eyes<br />

Such sorrow I decree<br />

I no longer know me<br />

Such sorrow I decree<br />

I no longer know me<br />
