Horrible the Hue of Heaven

from Nightshade Monsters by Coz the Shroom

	/

lyrics

Walking unenlightened
neath a stormy sky
Always contemplating on
My day to die
Finding my mortality
Wax bold and strong
A taste I do not like
But will not sour me long
Horrible the hue of hardship
Ruined like a campfire in cold rain
Hideous the tone of demon shofar
A fanfare unforgivable in pain
A shadow of the strength I know as shame
Announcing more my infamy than fame.

Dreaming unillumined
In my polished tomb
Never the lamenting of
My day to die
Finding my mortality
That's starved for hope
A mood I do not like
But will not haunt me long
Horrible the hateful howl of heralds
Rumpled like a coat of many stains
Hideous the coat of horror colors
A fanfare unforgivable in pain
A shadow of the strength I know as shame
Announcing more my infamy than fame.

Horrible the Hue of Heaven
Few the sparing of the weapons
Haggard are the aged Seriphs
Few escape from falling perished.

singing. la la la la
