So, you've come again
Tear me with talons and slap me with feathers
Once I could depend on death,
my friend.
So, you've come again
Time becomes reckoned on wings that are beating
And the day begins screaming
Oh I am still here (a thousand years)
I am still here (a thousand deaths)
I am still here, so hear me cry
FEED ON ME. FEED ON ME. FEED ON ME.
But promise me I'll die. But promise me I'll die
Promise me I'll die... for the last time
Oceans endless time
Eats at the earth, and the rock, and my memory
I recall the crime... the clay... the fire
Man I made divine
Curses mortality, yearning eternal
But, immortalised, I'm screaming...
Oh I am still here (a thousand years)
I am still here (a thousand deaths)
I am still here, so hear me cry
FEED ON ME. FEED ON ME. FEED ON ME.
But promise me I'll die. Promise me I'll die
Promise me I'll die... for the last time
So, you've come again
Flight of the eagle that rises totemic
Do I fear the pain? Or the weakness?
So, you've come again
Now that my nightmare has patched me together
I can die again screaming...
OH I AM STILL HERE (a thousand years)
I am still here (a thousand deaths)
I am still here, so hear me cry
FEED ON ME. FEED ON ME. FEED ON ME.
But promise me I'll die
Promise me I'll die
Promise me I'll die... for the last time
