KADAVRIK LYRICS

1. Wither Away

Let me introduce | The miller's daughter | Her martyry and her countenance so heavenly | Alongside
with her bravest thereness | She had thoughtful but yet simple mind | You will see that once upon a
time | She showed there’s luck to find | For those who give not up on anything | “Dear father, Take
my hands and do as you please | Take my hands and do as you please” | "Help me in my need |And
forgive me of the evil | That I'm going to do to you" | Words of a broken father | From the grace of
greed he became a misled one | His fallacy was of a cruel kind | "Dear father, do with me what you
will | I am your child” | And with these words she stretched forth both hands | He dropped the axe
and chopped them off | “Here I cannot stay, I will go forth” | By sunrise she set out on her way | To
go forth and away | To go straight all the day | With her arms bound to her back | And a lack of trust
| A mind so white leaks a trail of red | From the grace of greed he became a misled one | His fallacy
was of a cruel kind | “Dear father, Take my hands and do as you please | Take my hands and do as
you please” | "Dear father, do with me what you will | I am your child” | And with these words she
stretched forth both hands | He dropped the axe and chopped them off | I AM YOUR CHILD, YOUR
CHILD, YOUR CHILD | And so she withered away | An armless maiden | Daughter of a cruel mind

2. All The World But One

“Though your fingertips
May never touch my skin
I am a heartful king
I hide your drama in disguise
You are wise and you will see
You mean the world to me
You're forsaken by everyone
YET I WILL NOT FORSAKE YOU”

But when he sleeps she weeps
For she will never be complete
In silvern hands there lies a weight
That only she can take
But when he sleeps she weeps
For she will never be complete
The silvern hands disguise her past

“My silver hands shine bright in light
But at night when we are two
They are too cold to comfort you
Will I ever trust enough
A king's promise and a husband's love?
I am no spirit, I'm a mortal deserted by all”

From the inside she can see
What has been and what will be
IN SILVERN HANDS THERE LIES A WEIGHT

COMPLETE
But when he sleeps she weeps
For she will never be complete

3. Ruins

"I cannot have you killed by the order of the king and my son | For you, too, have become a
part of my heart | That better may no longer stay“ | So she's hurt, so she inwardly weeps | How
much pain can a queen bravely take? | How could she know the devil's hands would intervene again?
| For now all hope is gone | For now all hope is in vain | For the life of a queen does not mean
anything to a bitter fate | For now all hope is in vain | I wish it wasn't so | I wish it wasn't so | For the
life of a queen does not mean anything to a bitter fate | For now all hope is in vain | Oh, they were
all so terribly wrong | They were all so trapped in the feint | No fortune saves our lifes from evil
hands | Taking any chance to curse us 'til the end | For now all hope is gone | For now all hope is in
vain | For the life of a queen does not mean anything to a bitter fate | For now all hope is in vain | I
wish it wasn't so | I wish it wasn't so | For the life of a queen does not mean anything to a bitter fate
| For now all hope is in vain | For the life of a queen does not mean anything to a bitter fate | And so
she withers away | I WISH IT WASN’T SO

4. 7 Years

[Instrumental]

5. Queen Of Sylvan Lands

Embrace the solitude | The old tree’s soul | Roots in the womb of earth |
Drain away the pain | In sylvan lands for seven years in fortitude | There all dwell free | But she
struggled to believe | That one day all her pain will vanish | Cause she learned too well | That when
fortune smiles upon her | Her damned fate will give her hell | And it took time to understand | And
tears not to surrender | It’s worth the pain | When tears one day flood you back to love | Far away in
the kingdom | His eyes saw clearly then | What a fool he’s been | They were deceived | They were
deceived | He rode to find his wife | A love to risk his life | He did not eat, he did not sleep | Before
he could hold her in his arms again | He knew he would | One day he would be with her again | And
it was true | "MY GRIEF ENDS WITH YOU"

6. Lords

I outlive the lust | I outlive my love | I avoid the thrust | As from below | So from above | I
have chosen Mort | Instead of a Christian lord | Paradigm will conquer me | My entities, my I and
self | Ignite, flicker and cease the light of life | Make my last sense yet so intense | I enjoy the final
drip of wax upon me | Ignite, flicker and cease the light of life | Make my last sense yet so intense | I
accept my fate to cease | When I find my old peaceful mind | In a room of gloomy lights | I will eat
what fate serves | I will love who deserves | Live strong and don't bow | Not for above, not for below
| NOT FOR ABOVE, NOT FOR BELOW | I confirm myself to fate | The equalizing weapon of his choice
| Bound to obey and trust | The apodictic judgment of death | Ignite, flicker and cease the light of
life | Make my last sense yet so intense | I enjoy the final drip of wax upon me | Ignite, flicker and
cease the light of life | Make my last sense yet so intense | I accept my fate to cease | When I find
my old peaceful mind | IN A ROOM OF GLOOMY LIGHTS

7. Voids

Once upon a time | I walked a straight line | Holding on to destiny | There was no fear and no
need | To abandon the illusion | Life was a tale | I walked a straight line | Holding on to destiny | As
a king I walked the earth | With everything to lose | I write those stories in my skin | I leave voids
and ink within | I cannot learn or live from pain | For there's nothing else to gain | I write those
stories in my skin | I leave voids and ink within | I suffer more than all my tales could tell | Can't hope
for love but hell | At night I slide away | In memory of childhood's day | And tales of fear and
laughter | Heroic ever after | Every night I slide away | In memory of childhood's day | And tales of
wolves and queens | About what moral means | Life has never proven this | Hear me speak | I write
those stories in my skin | I leave voids and ink within | I cannot learn or live from pain | For there's
nothing else to gain | I write those stories in my skin | I leave voids and ink within | I suffer more
than all my tales could tell | Can't hope for love but hell | I write those stories in my skin | I leave
voids and ink within | Is it wise to disenchant | To give in to the foregone? | Cause belief is for the
weak | And hope is for the crippled | Cause belief is for the weak | Hear me speak | Life has proven
this

8. Shuttered

I'm charming so you follow
They all follow if I want to
You're mine so you obey
While I'm out just for a day
Stay alone and calm
So curiosity won't harm
Agree, my dear, so you won't fear
You're warned and now agree
Little wench broke plighted word
Disturbed from all whom I've hurt
I'd pity for you, little miss
But I'm a man to walk the talk
You know my secret and you will keep it
Cause it hurts you more than me
You know my secret and you will keep it
See the bodies bleeding?
None of them is speaking
Never seek for skeletons in my closet
Cause it hurts you more than me
Wrench the wench’s hair
Axe to neck, she dared
So she deserves a bloody dish
That's best served cold
I won't argue for my word's your law
You should have known before
"You went into that chamber against my will
Against your will you shall now go into once again”
You know my secret and you will keep it
Cause it hurts you more than me
You know my secret and you will keep it
See the bodies bleeding?
None of them is speaking
Never seek for skeletons in my closet
Cause it hurts you more than me

9. Helix

Every day we build a wall
So high that it will fall one day
Every day we all ignore
What we have learned before
Every day, every day
We build this wall
So high that it will fall one day
Every day we all ignore
What we have learned before
Every day, every day
We need to break this downward helix
We need to break it down
The ocean tide swallows our statues
We are like sediment
Watching the omens fall
When the well has flooded us all
We are now sediment
We knew that we will drown
When the tides have pulled us down
When the well has flooded all
We drown ourselves in pity
And as we drown it seems so easy
When the well has flooded all
We drown ourselves in pity
And as we drown it seems so easy
But yet too hard for us
We need to break this downward helix
We need to break it down, down, down
WE NEED TO BREAK IT DOWN
The ocean tide swallows our statues
We are like sediment
Watching the omens fall
The well has flooded us all
We are now sediment
We knew that we will drown
The tides have pulled us down
