[intro] [Instrumental interlude] [Verse 1] No flames, no spark, no wild desire, Just a slow decay, a dying fire. A heart unburdened, numb and cold, In idle hands, the dreams grow old. The weight of time upon your chest, Too weak to rise, too tired to rest. A hollow void where action fades, In endless gray, your will degrades. [break] [Pre-Chorus] In shadows deep, I claim my throne, As time goes by (you’re all alone) With hands at rest, temptation waits, sweet invitation (for Devil's grace) [Chorus] I am the void, the great decline, Where effort fades, and nothing shine. I am the sloth, the endless sleep, Through empty hearts, I slowly creep. Akêdía, the sloth that drags you down, In idle dreams you wear my crown (you wear my crown) [guitar leads] [Verse 2] From others sins I can arise, An omission sin no one denies The sin of silence, of letting go, The lack of will you always show. You turn away, you close your eyes, As days pass by and chances die. I'm wrap you in my chains, 'Til only emptyness remains. [break] [Pre-Chorus] In shadows deep, I claim my throne, As time goes by (you’re all alone) With hands at rest, temptation waits, sweet invitation (for Devil's grace) [Chorus] I am the void, the great decline, Where effort fades, and nothing shine. I am the sloth, the endless sleep, Through empty hearts, I slowly creep. Akêdía, the sloth that drags you down, In idle dreams you wear my crown (you wear my crown) [instrumental interlude] [Bridge] I'm the absence of the flame, when hope is lost, no need to blame In doing nothing, you’ll find the way, just close your eyes and waste away If life’s too much, just let it slide, Embrace the drift, no need to try. Why bother to stand? stay on the ground, In endless rest, forever downed [guitar solo] [Chorus] I am the void, the great decline, Where effort fades, and nothing shine. I am the sloth, the endless sleep, Through empty hearts, I slowly creep. Akêdía, the sloth that drags you down, In idle dreams ¡you wear my crown! (you wear my crown) [outro] No need to rise, no need to care, You’ll find your rest just lying there. I'm Akêdía, you’ll wear my crown, And in the end I’ll drag you down. ¡¡I'll drag you down!!! (you down) [end]
