Single Phial - Skyclad

Single Phial - Skyclad
I have walked the earth so many times before your birth
Today is only yesterday's tomorrow
And as a Gardner in Eden it was I who sowed the seed then
I've come here to reclaim this life you borrow
Singing ring a ring o' rosies for your final lullaby
Have you any prayers to make before you wave your last goodbye
I bring a pocket full o' posies lay a wreath to ease my guilt
As the lights go out forever not one drop of blood was spilt
As yet unwritten history
Once more I stride the lightning road
Identity a mystery
My burden is Pandora's load
Traversing endless centuries
Disguised behind death's lipless smile
I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial
I'd have rather seen your face almost any other place
Still here we meet always the way in this profession
And as I gaze into your eyes I see the glimmer within dies
From there moment I first make my dark confession
How could I swear I would be there for you until your dying day
Certain in the knowledge that it's not that far away
So you leave me sitting here bewildered as a new dead ghost
While I try to justify destroying that which I love most
As yet unwritten history
Once more I stride the lightning road
Identity a mystery
My burden is Pandora's load
Traversing endless centuries
Disguised behind death's lipless smile
I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial
I locked the door and pour the single phial
I locked the door and pour the single phial
The dark millennium is ending final days of the decayed
And a reign of tears is falling it's the judgment eve parade
Though I wash my hands a thousand times still the guilt remains
She stole my heart I took her life
And yet I never knew her name
As yet unwritten history
Once more I stride the lightning road
Identity a mystery
My burden is Pandora's load
Traversing endless centuries
Disguised behind death's lipless smile
I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial
Out with a whimper not with a bang
And they all gathered round while the church bell rang
Singing out your bring dead they'll stretch for miles
To be Bourne to their graves in single files
As yet unwritten history
Once more I stride the lightning road
Identity a mystery
My burden is Pandora's load
Traversing endless centuries
Disguised behind death's lipless smile
I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial
