This track is from their split-album with Swedish Altar The Fragile Concept of Affection
Lyrics :
The fear within, a darkened chasm of memory
a burial ground where my flesh is bound
Scarred mind like stitches on a dead mans back
Rotten illusions of illusions... rotten
Embalmed mind, thousand decades of dream
I lust for death and peace at last
* i cast my my wordly flesh aside
to greet the spirits of those who died
and on my funeral no-oned cried
cause all the pity i denied
chorus:
lost souls haunt me till
the dawn that i watch
and mourn on my open grave
ive sworn an oath impure
infinity calls...
obscenities cant shadow
ethereal bliss...
incisions and ill join thee
*i look upon the brightening colors of morning sky
and wonder why it seems that i dont fit in this world
[this world]
i have this urge to learn something new
anything thatll just quench this thirsty
[why do i watch the dawn]
ive found out, that in life there are no real answers
so ill just have to die to attain knowledge to my... pain!! Cartilage - Why Do I Watch the Dawn ?](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AUlVcVcaIT4/mqdefault.jpg)
