Solitude lyrics

[Candlemass cover-version - bonus track]
[Lyrics by Leif Edling]

I'm sitting here alone in darkness
Waiting to be free,
Lonely and forlorn I'm crying
I long for my time to come
Death means just life
Please let me die in solitude

Hate is my only friend
Pain is my father
Torment is delight to me
Death is my sanctuary
I seek it with pleasure
Please let me die in solitude

Receive my sacrifice
My lifeblood is exhausted
No-one gave love and understanding
Hear these words
Vitrifiers and pretenders
Please let me die in solitude

Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust

And please let me die in solitude
