This Regrettable End Lyrics
might the strings swell again
sound then sadly descend
for to lend due respect
this regrettable end
for i slept with the best
as ive wept with the rest
ever blessed with this sense
some swift end might be met
could those strings swell again
lest mine eyes well instead
for to lend bated breath
less this life that ive left
yet our song soldiers on
postscript first fell to fawn
where each chord corresponds
whom to all ive done wrong
chest drawn of breath
throat red as fresh stretched post-fuck flesh
wed both sooner forget
and yet strange successions remind
flush with desperate decline
certain prides thus obliged
ive resigned to this life
rife with primes passed behind
strains of wrasp wearied rhyme
and no time to surmise all my wherefores and whys
though i suppose should it help to know
im oh so glad to go
what with woe-soaked underclothes
and were that this the final phrase cast from these lovely lips
i pray remember this
remember this
what once was wed with ones past
though now no strings attached
for the lust or its lack just cant help coming back
well past reprieve weve reached each creased
of ceaseless griefs weve seen
save this one brief relief
sound then sadly descend
for to lend due respect
this regrettable end
as ive wept with the rest
ever blessed with this sense
some swift end might be met
lest mine eyes well instead
for to lend bated breath
less this life that ive left
postscript first fell to fawn
where each chord corresponds
whom to all ive done wrong
throat red as fresh stretched post-fuck flesh
wed both sooner forget
and yet strange successions remind
flush with desperate decline
certain prides thus obliged
ive resigned to this life
strains of wrasp wearied rhyme
and no time to surmise all my wherefores and whys
though i suppose should it help to know
im oh so glad to go
what with woe-soaked underclothes
and were that this the final phrase cast from these lovely lips
i pray remember this
remember this
though now no strings attached
for the lust or its lack just cant help coming back
well past reprieve weve reached each creased
of ceaseless griefs weve seen
save this one brief relief

Okay, so besides everyone commenting on what the lyrics should say,
This song is absolutely fantastic. It reminds me of the ultimate climax to some movie, or a main characters death. It's just so beautiful in a really dark and sad way.
due respect
yet our psalm soldiers on [i think] postscript first fell to fawn
just can't help coming back
i think you're spot on with the last line. i didn't really get this was a concept album till this track brought little bits of every song back into it. what an amazing album.
"throat red as fresh stretched post fuck flesh" --and then the last line is "save this one brief relief"
also- "for the lust or it's lack just cant help coming back"
got it all from the lyric booklet, thanks
That "post-fuck" part made me laugh so hard. Gotta love Zac's lyrics!
