The Tomb Of Gilgamesh Lyrics
by Tourniquet
I ask that you return me
the years I did ignore thee
And with my burden bury
the weight of guilt I carry
And lead me to the well of life
before my soul departs
Now I so clearly see how I have murdered me
and I cannot fake what I tried to make of myself; a God
Please heal me
The halls of countless eriudite teeming with the self deified
cloaked in snuffy habiliments
No need to strive for holiness
When beauty dies she leaves behind the scars of dreams abandoned long ago
Where myriad wonders once repelled the onslaught of decay
now given to the manifold miseries of mortal dismay
And out of joy is sorrow born the stained white halls are now forlorn
Wisdom calls from these halls
Now I so clearly see how I have murdered me and I cannot fake -please heal me
So very wise in their own eyes
The world's great minds will one day find
that for life they studied, worked, and pined
but in wisdom made by man alone that a high IQ with low regard
will be dethroned and from heaven barred
Wisdom calls from these halls
I ask that you return me
the years I did ignore thee
And with my burden bury
the weight of guilt I carry
And lead me to the well of life
before my soul departs
