Songtext von Contrapasso

The star's luminosity failing All grey ash and ruin Bathed in the light of their guttering waning As if a world spilled from his heart's painting No, please no What have I wrought upon me? Overflowing, I wander here still Blackened feet drag through dust Bound by shackles hung With a stone of sisyphean weight No, I beg This cannot be Darkness claims me A burden of proportions biblical In these dizzying plains of desolation So in death, as you were in life May the punishment fit the crime The soundless scream still echoes with acrid winds This tomb is of my own making Their faces hang above me, a warning They were dragged here, mourning Toward my horizon, cold No, please no What have I wrought upon me? No, I beg This cannot be Darkness claims me They were dragged here, helpless Toward my horizon, cold I was never a person I am a black hole
