Wither on the Vine

Come away to the shadowed vale Where we are obscured from all eyes Come away before the dawn Now all the world is a tomb Drag me into the wild Among the rose and thorn Far from the light Away from the eye of the sun Fates collide One thousand years of night Winds howling a song of woe Creeping tides drink the light Haunting specters of the mind Dreaming of the dead Ring out the solemn bells The priestess in the vaults of death Calling for her wolves to come She gives herself to the dark

At the edge of no return Waiting for a sign To leave the world behind We stood against the archaic winds And we collapsed with the weight of our desire On our knees we pray for the flood Night is drawing in We are far from home Ice on broken skin Ashes on the wind As the Ravens paint the sky Choking out the light A city of tombs below A plague of fire and hymns of doom As Mother Earth devours her sons Naked in the darkness of the flood

Steadfast as the mountain Through all the winters of the world I am earth, soil and stone Unfettered amidst the gathering dark Roots wrapped in bone Flesh and earth entwined Long forgotten tomes Old blood enshrined Breaming through the breaking morn Of meadows green and ancient wisdom lost In silence a far and fading reverie Of mighty oaks and weeping boughs of thorn Twin pyres light the path before me And I'll never be led astray We are untamed, our should with one desire Our eyes ablaze with the fire of belief

The woods decay and fall The vapors weep their burthen to the ground Man tills the earth and lies beneath And at long summers end dies the swan Don't chase the light that sinks forever Don't tell me that I'm only dreaming

Spiral into the black Watching the sky collapse All my failures washed away In these obsidian dreams Pale as the bones of the dead A ghost in the mirror A voice from the smoke and the dust Cries 'God lies dead' Oh Starless night My time has come I lay my armour down At the feet of The One Father forgive me I'm not the man I thought I'd become I drift to the edge of the dark Strayed too far from your hand Above the shadow of night I spread my ravenblack wings Cloaked in golden fire I eclipse the dawn

From crimson seas of flame To vast and frozen lakes From when the world began Our fate was preordained A fire that burns the world We are born with tragedy in our blood There's something deep inside That tells us to endure To reap the harvest now Before the sky closes in A mark on all mankind We are lost with tragedy in our blood

Fell cries shatter the midnight silence The hour has come For the scourge to sweep these lands We are the blade at the throat of the world We'll carve our creed In the flesh of the unborn And the rivers cease to flow Empires overthrown Gather all who would oppose this new unfolding Bury their hearts In the ruins of their yesterdays So far as the shadow reaches out And fear takes hold The ashen plague consumes All beauty that you've known

Come in from the darkness oh children of fire As we wither on the vine Make them believe that the world is diving As it withers on the vine Until the storm at the end of the world Breaks the spell that we've cast to hide the weakness In our doomed and broken hearts Draw down the sun A new wind rises Come the dawn Fill your cups with blood and wine As we wither on the vine And the carrion fowl encircle the sun As the turning of the wheel Down among the snakes and scorpions They watched us crawl in the flame The ghosts of the old world
