Cemetery Glow

funeral world, eyes anew<br/> we unlive and unravel all of you<br/> <br/> cast us as wretched, vile wraiths of pallid hue<br/> your pulses all turn from red to purple-blue<br/> <br/> as dusk closes in<br/> and twilight is crowned<br/> with the embers of heaven's dying fire<br/> we rise through the ground<br/> <br/> we are the fangs in the throbbing tree of life<br/> we are walking graves, we are the bleeding night<br/> <br/> and now we walk through this sleeping land<br/> in the darkness, ordained<br/> until the threat of approaching dawn<br/> lays us to rest once again<br/> <br/> an empty hearse bears my name

six thousand years, toil upon toil<br/> notch upon bevelled bone<br/> an almost-eternity to consider your labour's fruits<br/> with no intent to atone<br/> <br/> o, the mount burns white<br/> end in sight<br/> <br/> each step a victory<br/> claw forward with grace<br/> <br/> black throne, black throne<br/> black throne on high<br/> black throne, black throne<br/> to reign for all time<br/> <br/> opaque shadow<br/> vast abyss<br/> endless void<br/> a chance nor missed<br/> <br/> six thousand years, toil upon toil<br/> notch upon bevelled bone<br/> one final ascent, one final ascent<br/> to our spiritual home

we are fog, we are nightmares<br/> we are the tattered rags of the grave<br/> fall into the hungry dirt<br/> become one with the shadow that haunts all tombs<br/> <br/> cold fingers crawl and weave<br/> all deathly pale<br/> cold fingers crawl and weave their way<br/> all deathly pale<br/> <br/> we are of sulfur, we are of coal<br/> we are of Him, we are of Hell<br/> all parts of darkness move toward us<br/> and we breathe, and we radiate its brilliant void<br/> <br/> ghost lights in the haze
