Lest I Sleep the Sleep of Death Lyrics
Your prey...
Your seeking me
Your blade...
Sharpened to kill
To swim in the ocean of hate burns my skin at the touch; it makes me mindless with pain.
I feel you focus your eyes on me.
And I can feel the arrows of your intentions piercing my heart.
You wear your blinders of bitterness yet you wield the scales and you wield the sword.
And I know I am outnumbered, and that my enemies are near.
If I knew I was alone I could not bear this task of enduring.
I must hold fast to the promise that my beloved made to me.
I must remember our bonds of trust to each other.
I cannot remain without you, without you (all) my life is lost.
Your seeking me
Your blade...
Sharpened to kill
I feel you focus your eyes on me.
And I can feel the arrows of your intentions piercing my heart.
You wear your blinders of bitterness yet you wield the scales and you wield the sword.
And I know I am outnumbered, and that my enemies are near.
If I knew I was alone I could not bear this task of enduring.
I must hold fast to the promise that my beloved made to me.
I cannot remain without you, without you (all) my life is lost.
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
the song is about how the world seems to burn you and your filled with pain. god is the only liberation from this pain and is all that is heavenly and good. with out god life is meaningless. he gives you the strength to endure the burdens of life.
I love the singing at the end of this.
