Lyrics:
Cenotaph by Bolt Thrower
Reekomposer vocals by Joe Benson
Cenotaph
Alone you stand
The final parody
Destined to silence
A memorial to mortality
in what I’ve known
But this is all I’ll ever be
These are the nights I’ll own
I’m gonna build myself a cenotaph
Created by my hand and a fire in my
raise up a new dome of air
I silently laugh at my own cenotaph,
And out of the caverns of rain,
Like a child from the womb, like a ghost from the tomb,
I
Nobody is heard
Rowing sheep smile for the dead
Transoceanic depth in this earth
In the cenotaph
Lash of one thousand eye brows clicking
Nobody is heard
Rowing sheep smile for the dead
Transoceanic depth in this earth
In this cenotaph
Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking
from the ashes chosen one
Wield the cenotaph as your scar
Death threatens through the sky
I hear the souls from agony cry
There is no meaning for time
i am
It's how he created me
My life's a bitch
I can't resist
In solitude, respect me
Walk here
We'll kill
Cenotaph - lies on the ground
Cenotaph -
Cenotaphs of Thrones
Grey chambers filled with screams
A kingdom of the fallen
Rise to inherit a dead realm
A line of misconduct
Blurred by virtuous
depths.
Is my cenotaph covered with the birds nests?
My trace above the sky and in the black depths.
Is my Cenotaph covered with the birds nests?
That
depths.
Is my Cenotaph covered with the birds nests?
My trace above the sky and in the black depths.
Is my Cenotaph covered with the birds nests?
That
Nobody is heard
Rowing sheep smile for the dead
Transoceanic depth in this earth
In this cenotaph
Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking
Enter as friend... Live as enemy!
Reading your epitaph
Scorching cenotaph
Cenotapharium
Welcome to my bestiarium
Your flesh still rots
Even in this
A generation dead
History's maligned
Our cenotaph last epitaph
Of what we left behind
What we left behind
Another rich man's war
With poor men intertwined
to the land of the dead
as I journey through tunnels and blackened chasm
in the realms of death unbound
Underneath the cenotaph
Revelations revealed through
the shimmering wealth
Ascendance into slavery
a gilded cenotaph
Forever…
Slaves of a lie
Of Meaningless numbers
Bound in silver chains
slobbering for more
Though
They disembarked in 45
And no-one spoke and no-one smiled
There were to many spaces in the line.
Gathered at the cenotaph
All agreed with
Life has been unfaithful
And it all promised so so much
I am a relic
I am just a petrified cry
Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir
Life has been unfaithful
And it all promised so so much
I am a relic
I am just a petrified cry
Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir
Life has been unfaithful
And it all promised so so much
I am a relic
I am just a petrified cry
Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir
Life has been unfaithful
And it all promised so so much
I am a relic
I am just a petrified cry
Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir
The sky will be my shroud
The cenotaph of cloud
If we could turn back, you can't paper over the crack
But it will return now, and your heart will burn
closed down the post office,
Took the only flag we had in town
That old brick building
Still stands like a cenotaph
To a vision lost and buried in
Someone else in someone else's pocket
Christ knows I don't know how to stop it
Poppies at the cenotaph, the cynics can't afford to laugh
I heard in
On the Plaza
We're dancing slowly, lit like photographs
Across the Plaza
Toward the shadow of the cenotaph
Down escalators, come to the sea
