Clouded
Gorguts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Enlighment feeds my decay
Sombre proper to ecstasy
Bring this dark day of frenzy
Shame while I fly high
Incite tears to my eyes
Hopeless mind
Pain Life creates
Above the skies of sorrow, I'm
Crawling
Crawling on the darkened shore
Seas of despair saturate my soul
Rising
Rising from this clouded land
Life of despair shall forsake my soul
Hopeless mind
Pain life creates
Above the skies of sorrow, I elevate
Shame while I fly high
Incite tears to my eyes
Fading
Fading from the mortal ground
Sad version of grievous soul
Shame while I fly high
Incite teras to my eyes
Hopeless mind
Pain it creates
Above the skies of sorrow, I elevate
