Anathema - Crestfallen

Doom Metal Years from Anathema before they moved to Progressive/Atmospheric Rock, the song is from the Album Crestfallen.

Lyrics:

I cry a tear of hope but it is lost in helplessness
The darkness eats away at the very embers of my soul
For the deepest love I had has dissolved before my eyes
My sorrow is bleak, I beg for deliverance

Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer

All emotion is consumed by an inner silence
All grief is unassuaged by disconsulate tears
I want for nothing, I live for nothing
I am waiting to die but I am afraid of dying

Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer

Crestfallen emotion
Wallowing in guilt
and drowning for evermore

Falling deeper into fear
My inner self is now
a sleeper of stone

Help me.

[ActofContrition94]

the best song of the band anathema, according to me. 5 star

[fvanzo]

The saddest song ever.

[spiralingcrazies]

Classic Darren White opening "waaaah", "waaah". Still I'd rather take that any day than the new Anathema Floyd lit.

@DimeisGod04 It isn't poetic at all but that's whats great about it its right to the point, he use direct language and expresses it with his vocal range. It's a different style, to each their own I suppose but this is the kind of style I really dig it, unforgiving and true, like Bukowski. I will admit this isn't one of my favorite pieces but his voice just draws me in.

Dziś już nie ale kiedy dorastałem to właśnie w mojej głowie grało. Dziś już tylko czasem jestem tym czym jest to, kiedyś mocno, życie bym oddał. Kiedyś w walkmanie, dziś niwe wiem czemu w mp3 wciąż się ciągnie. Raz otworzona księga nie chce się zamknąć, nie..
