Carpe Noctem - Viscera

A state of inner rage

No signs of finishing

When all the years of ardor grind a will diminishing

The many moments of elation fading from your sight

The clarity of isolation truly terrifies

Every empire falls in the end

It’s just a matter of when

Every empire falls in the end

We are marked for death

Carpe noctem

Seize the night

Carpe noctem

While you still can

Count your blessings, not your curses, I heard someone say

But we had each other

More than we have today

Carpe noctem

Seize the night

Carpe noctem

While you still can

What is for you won’t go by you, I heard someone say

But we had it all

To throw it all away

Weary eyes never lie

Reflecting suffering

As lengthy shadows grow around an aura withering

The years were never kind but now they are bereft of light

The memories of ecstasy no longer in your mind

If this is what the price is

I will gladly pay it

If this is how you feel

Then go ahead and say it

I’d savour victory but I don’t like the taste

Playing with precious time I can’t afford to waste

Carpe noctem

Carpe noctem

Carpe noctem

Carpe noctem

Carpe noctem

Seize the night

Carpe noctem

While you still can

Count your blessings, not your curses, I heard someone say

But we had each other

More than we have today

Carpe noctem

Seize the night

Carpe noctem

While you still can

What is for you won’t go by you, I heard someone say

But we had it all

To throw it all away
