It was all around the time of the final embertide
When the May was all a-bloom and bloom a-drifting
Down the long and bony road by the narrow riverside
There a hollow bride I spied and she was stumbling
Stumbling down the bony road with a tremor in her head
And from pleasure into dread forever shifting
Well she took me unaware, she disturbed the very air
With the fervour of her preer heart and humbling
Fall away false flesh, fall away, ooh
Fall away false flesh, fall away, ooh
Fall away false flesh, fall away, ooh
Fall away false flesh, fall away, ooh
I will roam around the breadth of the many splendoured earth
Mid the men of phoney flesh although they spurn me
Though they'd send me to my death, from my dwelling in the breast
Of the one supernal spouse they'd ever turn me
I'll condemn them in a verse, I'll offend with every breath
Just an incandescent tone in her confession
Those who act as if they've earned their reward in the beyond
Ere the reckoning day has dawned will learn their lesson
Oh shifty old god, the first of your gifts
The joy of our youth you soon removed
Oh shifty old god, the last of your gifts
The fastness of death we'd fain refuse
ย
Oh shifty old god, the first of your gifts
The joy of our youth you soon removed
Oh shifty old god, the last of your gifts
The fastness of death we'd fain refuse
ย
Fall away false flesh, fall away, ooh
Fall away false flesh, fall away, ooh
Fall away false flesh, fall away, ooh
Fall away false flesh, fall away, ooh
