Once Carcass Is Cold... Lyrics - Singles - Neglected Fields

Go starless in the night 

Once carcass is cold no rest in hearts 

And no predictive eyes strong to see 

What lies beyond Nepenthe 

So teach me what is death 

Down to absolute 

To where emptiness 

Breeds and slithers, mute 

To where my hunger ends 

Forbidden ever this domain of mine 

My beloved, relish the flesh and wine 

Relish life, but allow death to be 

A tale, a legend, mystery 

A transience of it all 

What is in flesh? 

A cerement to clothe 

Gift seemingly absurd 

Once calmness leaves the man 

For he is me, the inquiring 

And, and till blood warms tongue 

The passing stuns 

Out of this lot 

Terrestrials await 

Out of this lot 

To where my thirst I'll slake 

Pacific cold bewitches the dying eyes 

Far beyond the brink no entry twice 

Beware to question the abysm 

For its lesson is last and secrecies are grim
