Aroma of Gloom
Eternal Despair: A Symphony in Darkness
Lyrics
There's smell of anguish in the air
There's a sense of distress and sorrow in the atmosphere.
And cinder is covering my hair
My hair is covered with ashes, suggesting a connection to destruction or mourning.
I watched the revered motifs melt
I observed respected symbols dissolving, leaving marks on my skin.
And leave the scorches on my skin
The aftermath of the dissolution is visible on my skin in the form of burns.
I'm awaiting the twilight
I am patiently anticipating the evening, hoping for the difficulties to pass.
And hope it all will pass
Despite the anticipation, darkness has emerged, and it seems enduring.
But blackness has ascended
The darkness is metaphorically described as having ascended and persisting.
And it is here to last
Despite the prior blissful unawareness, a gloomy reality has taken hold.
So blissful in our ignorance we waltzed

Within the churches' walls

As organs played our favorite tunes
