The Last Days Of The Year Lyrics - Eldritch

Sweep off the streamers and lay down the covers 

The story's over 

Love conquers all happy endings 

The wicked is tamed, he's got the chance for an afterthought 

For changing and weeping, repenting and creeping 

Tales always finish too early to tell that he's had enough 

Going for lonely ways, waiting for better days 

Waiting for spring, for the doorbell to ring 

So far apartand still here 

Turning the page on these lonely last days of the year 

Spirits of air ghostly friends 

Please take my hand, I'm so far from my land 

Cure all my wounds, lick my tears, chilling my face, 

I'm so far from my place 

Never again smiling backwards to past lives, never again 

shedding tears 

Never again on the waves of the turning tide 

Never again on these last days of the year 

Going for lonely ways, waiting for better days 

Waiting the dike, you don't know what it is like 

So far apart and still there, now in the last days of the year 

Going for lonely ways, waiting for better days 

Waiting the dike, you don't know what it is like 

So far apart and still here, so far away but still near 

Walk alone, breed of Cain, thinking all night and days 

One far away, knowledge goes with the pain 

To make a light you must burn 

But times are about to turn 

Within my prison I'll stand 

Within the hope of my exile's end 

When every sin will be forgiven 

And dreams closer and clearer will gleam 

Out of this deadly deep frost 

Without the memory of what is lost 

Without the tears with eyes unswelled 

I will build stronger and straighter high 

walls...That's all
