For Ever and a Day
Atrocity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tasting depth of winter morbidity and doom
I saw one million faces I saw one million deaths
Colours are in dark-grey veil of emptiness
Stalking in a nightmare I was lost long ago
I gave all my love spirit's feeling low
Sorrow - I'm dead-tired,tired of life eternla dusk my dungeon and desire
Shadows - dark face in autumnal tints covering me,lost in immortality
Sadness,autumn equinox sunbeams - nevermore
Soulful - my heart is bleeding,my soul is seeking for salvation and release
Soulless - no more longing,no more loving just the ashes of my thoughts
For ever and a day death is the salvation for ever and a day
Life is the damnation for ever and a day ghosts are haunting me
For ever and a day death is the salvation
Stamping underwood down plot revenge that hills
Leaving life behind sowing death and thrills
I saw one million faces I saw one million deaths
Colours are in dark-grey veil of emptiness
Sorrow - I'm dead-tired,tired of life eternla dusk my dungeon and desire
Shadows - dark face in autumnal tints covering me,lost in immortality
For ever and a day death is the salvation for ever and a day
Life is the damnation for ever and a day ghosts are haunting me
For ever and a day death is the salvation
Sorrow in shadows soulful but soulless throughout time and space
Misanthropic race manhunting,echoin pain endless night starts again
For ever and a day death is the salvation for ever and a day
Life is the damnation for ever and a day ghosts are haunting me
For ever and a day death is the salvation

They are tired of life, of the eternal dusk that is their dungeon and desire. The singer is seeking salvation and release for their bleeding heart and soul. But they also feel soulless, with no more longing or loving, just the ashes of their thoughts. For the singer, death is the only salvation, and ghosts continue to haunt them for eternity.

They are in a state of perpetual mourning, reflecting on the endless night that starts again and again.
