Wolves At The Gate - Anathema lyrics

I'm lying barren in my own blood It's drowning me like a rushing flood A wave of crimson eclipse my eyes No sign of pity here My lips are silenced with blistering The utter silence is deafening Vultures fly above They're calling out my name The vipers watch below Taunting my crippled frame Desolate is love Surely a curse and my name The same - a plague is all I know The lover I had claimed has sent me out here to die Ashes for beauty and shame my ally The lover I had claimed has left me here to die The wings of d**h black out the sky Isolated in deserted lands Isolated in deserted lands Suffocating under dirt and sand Cursed, despised, I am anathema! Cursed, despised, I am anathema! Glory speak to me Call upon my name Tell my soul to live, to live Grant to me the life only Your hands can give I take a breath as I try to shout I go to scream but no words come out No shred of solace I'm left to die No sign of pity here My lips are silenced with blistering The utter silence is deafening The lover that I had claimed has sent me out here to die Ashes for beauty and shame my only ally The lover that I had claimed has left me out here to die Ashes for beauty and shame my only ally Vultures fly above They're calling out my name The vipers watch below Taunting my crippled frame Desolate is love Surely a curse and my name The same - a plague is all I know Oh rising sun, won't you dawn on me Descend just like a dove Oh rising sun hear this sullen plea Hide me, hide me in Your love Glory speak to me Call upon my name Tell my soul to live, to live Grant to me the life Isolated in deserted lands Isolated in deserted lands Suffocating under dirt and sand Cursed was I and surely left to die But Glory became my anathema
