[Verse 1]
We gather here, we line up, weepin' in a sunlit room
And if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes, too
Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe
All the hell you gave me?
'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you
'Til my dying day
[Chorus]
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
And you're the hero flying around, saving face
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
Look at how my tears ricochet
[Verse 2]
We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean
Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring
You know I didn't want to have to haunt you
But what a ghostly scene
You wear the same jewels that I gave you
As you bury me
[Chorus]
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
Look at how my tears ricochet
[Bridge]
And I can go anywhere I want
Anywhere I want, just not home
And you can aim for my heart, go for blood
But you would still miss me in your bones
And I still talk to you (When I'm screaming at the sky)
And when you can't sleep at night (You hear my stolen lullabies)
[Chorus]
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves
You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
You turned into your worst fears
And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain
Crossing out the good years
And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed
Look at how my tears ricochet
Aš asmeniškai boikotuoju tokius siūlymus ir nebalsuoju už juos (kaip, beje, boikotuoju ir beveik visus koverius, nebent tas koveris kažkoks smarkiai inovatyvus). Bet ne visi kreipia į tai dėmesį ir balsuoja tiesiog už pažįstamą atlikėją.
Dėl Tony Iommi - čia kažkoks jau pattern'as. Priminsiu, kad Scent of Dark, 2021-ais išleista, mūsų tope pasirodė 2025-ais. Beje, išbuvo visas 12 savaičių, buvo pasiekusi pirmą vietą ir užima 46 vietą 2025-ųjų top100-uke. Absurdas.
Įdomu buvo gyvai pajust grupės laikyseną. Kokia visgi tai gotikinė grupė… Ėjau klausytis As I Die, o teko iš naujo perkratyti diskografiją. Vien dėl to verta dalyvauti koncertuose, nes privačiam patyrime gali paaiškėti, kad esi aklojoje zonoje.
