WORMFOOD - Les Noces sans Retour (live excerpt @ MatrixKlub Prague / 2011)

BETROTHAL OF NO RETURN (Les Noces sans Retour)

No sooner will you open your mouth
Than I know you'll be lying
Still I choke on your silence
I know the worst is yet to come

We're a cause that's long been lost
Each step forward casts us back
Let us not plead innocent
Dignity is not our lot

But since I take all the blame
And you resent my presence
We shall see if when I'm gone
You'll still think that you're strong

I'll be the chain dragging your feet down
The shadow stepping in your steps
A cross too heavy to bear
The dish we shall eat once cold

Each new lover of yours
Will taste as dead flesh does
Cheat on me and pay the price
My mourning is yours
Your blood is mine

For better or worse
Till death do us 'part
For better or worse
I lay on our bed
Alone
For the last time
And when I close my eyes
And drop my words into silence
Together we shall step across
The gates of horn
And of ivory

You're the one I'm doing this for
And against and forever
Believe me this is not an act of love
Our betrothal of no return Here shall my pains come to an end
And your penance begin
Shadows judge and marble thinks
The smiles of dead souls shine on

You've ceased to be my poison
Hemp a sobbing lump in my throat
Or razor blades
Slashing and slicing
Along my veins

For better or worse
Till death do us 'part
For better or worse
I feel nothing
But the relief
That I am far from you

The first day you cried
The next day you held wake
Each night I dawned upon your dreams
Noble and basking in the glow of absence

Then they took me under
In a dignified ceremony
You fainted as I was laid in the coffin
Under glaring stares

Since then I have mingled with earth
Since then the seasons have swept
My body, my soul, my anger
And you have already
Forgotten about me

You're the one I did this for
(I can't feel anything)
and against, and forever
(I can't feel anything)
Maybe I did it out of love
But you've already forgotten
