Severance

Into the darkness Of the wild we wandered The cruelty of your poison Shook the weakness from your stride And the wolves were drawing near Ghost of grey by your side Boundless realm of sorrow Boundless realm of sorrow You took your madness And the terror bounding Like a creature of aching soul Through your veins to howl and die There is evil in the beast And a yearning heart in me Boundless realm of sorrow Boundless realm of sorrow I have lain too long In this pit of misery While you writhe on your back In loathing Into the wild we wandered Ghosts of grey by your side

A line that can't be broken Of the duty bound unspoken Wielding hammers to the sky For the greater good they die The world is weary of the past Might it die or rest at last Yet the iron and flame of empires Thunder on the shore Light a candle for the dead And the wounded hearts that bled Echo songs gods and men Raise a glass to seasons end We bear the fate of our fathers Spectres of the dead hours So he crept from tomb to grave Traveller of endless day Fragments of the seasons fell Across the oceans vast and cold So we rise and fall With the tides of the earth

On the crest of the night Alone in the silence around me Where the ravens that roam through the eyes of the storm Circle above their prey The beggars that mourn are Sleeping through breaking of day Caress every thought with the peace that you bought Praying in silent scorn Blood for blood Soul for soul The scream of death the pyre burning bright The serpent and the shadow of the black light The demons that crawl The fury of nightmares unknown From their severed tongues come the words of their songs Poison the gods of old

A freezing fog on distance shores A story lost in ancient lore Now words of gods from mouths of men Speak the truth to the great condemned If I dare to step beyond Stray from the path beneath my feet To reach into the great unknown So let me go, to dream again Unholy truth, unholy pain Open my eyes, I reach again Beyond the grey veil Deep in the cold origins of birth The curtain falls on freezing earth Grasp the thorn of freedom's sin For at last the night comes rolling in Leave me now she says to me And cover all my dreams in black For all is lost in earthly fire

Come up from your crosses And graves filled with dust The clouds of your losses Will darken the path that guides your soul Years arrive and pass it seems In a breath of sorrow But the wheel of time will never cease So we roam in the shadow of a dream Time takes the world from under me The sands beneath my feet Are falling fast Trapped in the hourglass Weave sinews to your weary tread The shallow of your twisted soul Will never stop the spinning thread Time to shake the twilight into flaks of fire

Falling deeper towards where no hope can escape From the heart of the darkness Piercing eye searching for just a glimpse of your fire In this winter of madness The silence is broken All that remains in decay The scavenger has come The scavenger has come Hear the voices of sacrificed souls on the winds The words of the damned At the end of all things is the place I shall wander With the ghosts of the earth The pieces of life, that lay shattered and broken And tear through the flesh In doorways of time I am longing forever For my nightmare to stay

From across the stormy seas to godless lands I sought for answers Roaming through the bitter wilderness On the winds of vengeance Blood on my hands The tyrant of man Dragging further from the light Blood on my hands They call to me A thousand screaming souls in the deep By the dying light of day I turn away From your towers of splendour And the dregs of life stare back at me From the darkness The fearless might of the untamed That rips the skies apart And the vast emptiness Is all that remains for me

Heed these hands Born from sands Pray for stone wings To ease the heaving pain Of your burden Wait for the fall of time Wait for the fall of time Dust to flesh Flesh to stone Fly the embers of your name Feed the sands to the grave Thirst the bones of your slave All I own All I've known In the hands of this stone Craft these limbs Of dust to skin The silent terms The bonds of your bloodied War have begun Wait for the fall of time Wait for the fall of time Turn your back and walk forever Lest we be cast in stone together
