crown

• samael - ceremony of opposites 'den bi şarkı.
  
  if eyes are the mirror of the soul
  you will find in mine the scorn and apathy
  you will read my hatred as in a curs'd book
  you will see yourself as i see you
  
  it is a mirror sombre and opaque
  which protects me, which stifles me
  a great ditch around the heart
  which rejects, which estranges me
  
  there is a world in my head
  a dead world where nothing lives
  and it is there i am, too far,
  far to far to be rejoined
  
  a crown of thorns is still a crown
  
  i am a king in a kingodm of suffering
  i have taken my time to reach this stage
  i have taken pains to tourture myself
  to descend, to descend
  into pain, i exist
  an if my brain is numbed
  the thorn in my flesh
  can overcome apathy
  
  there is glory in humiliation
  a throne to be taken, a crown to win
  
  i have no more tears,
  and my smile has lost its brilliance
  i have forgotten who i was
  i have killed my emotions
  crushed, empty, weary
  always standing, i am a tree
  awaiting the lightning
