Waves of Stone
Waves of absolution... Tides of absence... You arose, unlike anything seen before... Waves of consecration... Tides of desolation... You arose, unlike anything seen before You arose unlike anything seen before Ebony shrines, devoted to the course of nature Enshrouded in leaves and bones Circle of fire, call my name A symbol of the plague that is man Who walks the earth as a disease Bringing death, pestilence, hate, A curse on you! For tonight, We weep with sorrow, For tonight, We swallow tears of bitter rage, Tonight I came and stood, Stood there watching as you were dying, And we lost all that we needed for salvation, For our souls... A sacrifice of our blood and hope goes into the water, As if to wash away the acts of those who bring this world to her knees, A sacrifice of our blood and hope goes into the water, As if to purge our sins, and the sins of those who shame us, For tonight, We weep with sorrow, For tonight, We swallow tears of bitter rage, Tonight I came and stood, Stood there watching as you were dying, And we lost all that we needed for salvation, For our souls... Waves of horror Waves of loss Waves of stone Rise Tides of death Tides of consecration Tides of blood Rise Waves of consecration... Tides of desolation... You arose unlike anything seen before Waves of destitution... Tides of absolution... You arose unlike anything seen before...

A hall of amber leaves Elegant, grand and sacred A memory To the ages Of the things that we once held so close to us That we have lost That we have gave away A hall of fractured limbs Delicate, broke and wasted A reminder Of our future And the fate we have to come given our mistakes And the echos of the past shall haunt us Forever Forever we will know We've lost all hope Forever we will know Forever Forever We shall light The fires on the distant horizons And the smoke shall hide the heavens As we bid farewell to the sun And we shall bury our dead In the groves of the oaks and cedars So that they may once again Be one with the earth We shall light The fires As we bid farewell to the sun A hall of amber leaves Elegant grand and sacred A memory To the ages Of the things that we once held so close to us That we have lost That we have gave away A hall of fractured limbs Delicate, broke and wasted A reminder Of the future And the fate we have to come given our mistakes And the echos of the past shall haunt us Forever
