Lyrics by Juha Raivio

"I lost the last of my hope on that
night when the morning never came.
Staring in the eye of all those ghosts of loss and like the plague it crushed me on the eve of a
new moon"

I'm made of filth, of lies, no clean blood runs in me.
I've turned to everything I hate. Black Blood and dirt
in a human shell.

Leaving these trails of betrayal. Cold lifeless flesh, a
so called man.

Choking on the pain of others, in my own lies I drown.
Happiness was all I reached for, but sure, no one
deserves it. That dim light I still held, finally faded.

There was so much in me that I trusted, but so little I
Knew. The weakness I held was stronger than anything
and it turned me into arrows for the ones I truly
loved.

Forgive me for falling, I know you all trusted in me.
But I'm made of filth, of lies, no good blood runs in
me.

[WhispTheDark]

At 5:40... shivers down my spine, lifeless body, ecstasy, nirvana.

This song is by far the darkest and the most brutal, with the most beautiful dark atmosphere... simply amazing.

@WhispTheDark What the... I just listened this song and at the very same moment I felt the same way.. o.o

[bloodyblackmetal]

Amazing song and album, has anyone else other than me noticed the reference to all of StS's albums in the first verse???

Hope is mentioned first, Second comes The Morning Never Came, Ghosts of loss third, then Plague of Butterflies and lastly New Moon

[METALOwnzRWMP]

@BoleroAlexander That is thruely the most epic thing i ever heard in my life, as people say, it's undescribeable... I cannot believe this... It makes me think of all the shit we fucked up, our dying planet... It makes me wonder "what are we doing here, why do I care so much about unsignificant stupid things.. there is only one life"

this can make me cry, this is sounds the way I feel when I accept the truth

[RiseResistRevolt]

I was going to come and say that this song is still badass, but for some reason only one person has commented since I did a while ago and it makes me sad. Why? Is StS not as popular as I thought they were?

[FutileGrief]

@BoleroAlexander FUCK.YES.

[RiseResistRevolt]

2/1/12, you couldn't be any further away. Please hurry and get here. I Don't even want any christmas presents. I just want the new StS album.

[dryad85]

[Gojiraatomic]

[theevilnen]

any1 else noticed, the beginning lyrics contain names of the albums released: Hope, The Morning Never Came, Ghosts of Loss, New Moon and even a reference to Plague of Butterflies ;d. They're damn cool :/ It seems everything they do is well planned

[TheNightsMoon]

@stupidfreakkid11 I actually do write my own music xD. It's easier to make melodies than lyrics, because my lyrics resemble dark fantasy poetry. You should write your own music.
