Great American Ghost - Hymn of Decay

Copied!

Cursed mind
Suffer
Die

Soothsayers
Speaking in serpent tongues
Betrayers
Mouths are wired shut
Lost ones
Left among the wicked
Faces lose shape
Entombed in this grave

Clocks ticking
But I can't read the hands
I'm sinking
In a shell of who I am
Lost meaning
Fear is my only memory

The soul sings no longer
As time wastes away
Like lambs to the slaughter
My past slips away
The soul sings no longer
The hymn of decay
Blackened
Trapped behind my eyes
Lost in desolation
The ruins of fractured time

I held it all in my hands
Until the rivers ran dry
Memories slip like sand
Left to suffer and die

Cursed mind
Suffer
Die

The soul sings no longer
As time wastes away
Like lambs to the slaughter
My past slips away
The soul sings no longer
The hymn of decay

The meaning of the song

edit description

"Hymn of Decay" by Great American Ghost is a haunting and introspective track that delves into themes of despair, betrayal, and loss. The lyrics paint a dark and bleak picture of a cursed mind trapped in a cycle of suffering and inevitable death. The imagery of soothsayers speaking in serpent tongues and faces losing shape creates a sense of unease and disorientation. The protagonist struggles to find meaning in a world consumed by fear and decay, feeling like a shell of their former self. As time slips away and memories fade, the soul no longer sings, lost in desolation and the ruins of fractured time. The song captures a sense of hopelessness and resignation, as the protagonist grapples with their own mortality and the inevitability of their own demise.
