Tyrants and Wraiths

Ballads of death In killing fields A new age of fear A life of kings Forgotten ones Concealed in shadows The piercing wails Of human flesh Wraiths ...suspended time and fate Fate ...comes knocking at the door Wraiths ...foretell the tyrant's tale Wraiths ...will sing their glorious songs Carved for eternity A name in gold Seek immortality In every breath Yet justice prevails And in the throes of death Vengeance is vile Open the gates of hell Wraiths ...standing the test of time Time ...will only wait so long Wraiths ...foretell the tyrant's fate Wraiths ...returned to hallowed ground Columns of rising smoke Written in wreaths of lies In unmarked tombs of pain Silence screams Unspoken words of valour Grow louder through the years Though falling on deaf ears Are carried by the winds Relics of sin Steal the night away Lurking in sleep Phantom daffodils Castles of sand in changing tides Fall to the scorn of accusing waves One by one refusing pleas Digress triumphantly into the seas As tyrants slowly drown in sacrificial waters Awaiting wraiths of fabled lore find their peace Fall back into the mists of fading endless battles Remembrance following their stoic, solid stride Wraiths ...standing the test of time Wraiths ...recall the tyrant's fate Wraiths ...returned to hallowed ground Wraiths ...sing their glory

Phantom crows brave the skies Fallen squires branding the cross In the wake of rebellion Lucifer's morning star By the light of the ages the damage is done Burying the laughter the bright light of darkness is undone In the blink of an era blinding the sun Innocence doused in sin Fallen squires branding the cross In the arms of affection ravishing virginal pyres Repenting to mutes sharpen fiery tongues Reeking of roses the foul air of piety abound In a moment of strength sanctity downed Drinking the wine Tasting the flesh Solemn demons Fallen angels Crowned desire and chaos, preaching peace Crowned desire and chaos, repenting honor Crowned desire and chaos, relentless savior Crowned desire and chaos, drowning in blood Seeking paths to eternal bliss Amongst thieves of eternal youth Gasping fiends steal the dying breath The morbid gaze of still life speaks no lies Phantom crows brave the skies Fallen squires branding the cross Innocence doused in sin Fallen squires

Desecrated Sealed death Walking corpses Reapers of Gormorrah Calling from the East Savoring sweet sermons Satan's feast Fragrant, foul, alluring Lurking venom spills Minions maiming courage One by one Desecrated Putrid lips Deathly dirges Reapers of Gormorrah Marching in the East Decotion drenched in blood Deed by deed Fragrant, foul, alluring Weeping blinded eye Hordes awake in nightmares Dream by dream Saviors Soldiers of misfortune Drown remorse With scented lies Wretched are the humble Blessed are the bold Craven putrid pledges Fade Wretched are the mourners Blessed those who kill Infestuous putrid pledges Cry Wretched are the peaceful Blessed cowards flee Spineless putrid pledges Run Inheriting the dying Hallowed be thy nameless Lethal putrid pledges Fade ...Fade As carrion men moan for burial And foul deeds reign free upon the earth No sentry keeps the flame afire while squalls of rage devour their name Desecrated Putrid lips Deathly dirges

For thine is Life is For thine is demise No... No... Tempestuous souls In everlasting prayers Rest in peace Rest in peace Fractured tombs And catacombs of woe Flowers bloom Flowers bloom For thine is Life is For thine is demise No... No... The hollow men With eyes that disappear Selling dreams Selling dreams Fading stars Extinguishing the light Empty tombs Empty tombs In this valley of the fallen The valiant wind carries the souls Of broken stones And silents foes Of hollow men In Death's other Kingdom Walking alone Solemn night, hearts of gloom Grieve lasting love While tales are told to decieve And songs are sung in distant dying paths To fill the emptiness... the emptiness For thine is Life is For thine is demise No... No...
