SKYCLAD lyrics : "Single Phial"

[time: 06:07]
[Lyrics: Martin Walkyier]
[Music: Steve Ramsey]


I have walked the earth so many times before your birth,
Today is only yesterday's tomorrow.

And as a Gardner in Eden it was i who sowed the seed then
I've come to reclaim this life you borrow.


Singing 'ring a ring o' rosies' for your final lullabye,
Have you any prayers to make before you wave your last goodbye
?

I bring 'a pocket full o' posies' - lay a wreath to ease my
guilt,
As the light's go out forever not one drop of blood was

spilt.

[Chorus:]

As yet unwritten history -
Once more i stride the lightning road
Identity a mystery -

My burden is Pandora's load.
Traversing endless centuries -
Disguised behind Death's lipless smile,

I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial.

I'd have rather seen your face almost any other place

Still here we meet - always the way in this profession
And as i gaze into your eyes - i see the glimer within dies,
From ther moment i first make my dark confession.


How could i swear i would be there for you, until your dying
day,

Certain in the knowledge that it's not that far away?
So you leave me sitting here bewildered as a new dead ghost,
While i try to justify destroying that which i love most.


As yet unwritten history -
Once more i stride the lightning road

Identity a mystery -
My burden is Pandora's load.
Traversing endless centuries -

Disguised behind Death's lipless smile,
I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial.


The dark millenium is ending - final daze of the decayed
And a reign of tears is falling - it's the judgement eve
parade.

Though I wash my hands a thousand times - still the guilt
remains,
She stole my heart - I took her life ...

(And yet i never knew her name).

As yet unwritten history -

Once more i stride the lightning road
Identity a mystery -
My burden is Pandora's load.

Traversing endless centuries -
Disguised behind Death's lipless smile,
I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial.


Out with a whimper - not with a bang.
And they all gathered round while the church bell rang.

Singing 'bring out your dead' they 'll stretch for miles,
To be bourne to their graves in single files.


[Chorus:]
As yet unwritten history -
Once more i stride the lightning road

Identity a mystery -
My burden is Pandora's load.
Traversing endless centuries -

Disguised behind Death's lipless smile,
I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial.
