Cloak of Darkness, Dagger of Night
I walk through the gardens of sin And reap what I've sown The seeds are growing inside me I feel them weave through my bones The world is drowned in the shadows Nightfall has conquered the day The land is wounded with fires Still burning but giving no light The echoes of my weary footsteps Silenced by layers of ash The dust is shrouding my vision Filling my throat and my lungs The darkness has fallen The flesh turned to stone Witnessing ruin My whisper, a dirge I'm nearing the end of my path The air is heavy and stale Collapsed on the dry lifeless ground I take my last breath The blood thickened and cold No longer runs through the veins The skin shatters and breaks Pierced from within by the protruding leaves Cleansed by the ashes The earth lies in wait From the flames of destruction The new flower blooms From blood and dust From flesh and bone My body is covered with vines The blossoms grow through my eyes Black leaves welcome the dawn I walked through the gardens of sin And've sown the seeds of the night The flowers are growing inside me Under the shattering skies

Blistering light Poisonous vines Silence attacks Deafening absence of sound Delirium Night will bring solace Slowly the pain will stop moving through the veins filled with sickness Water will wash away the oozing Tears and the burning dust The air will come alive with the humming Noise of countless tiny Wings that fill the darkness with hunger Night descends upon Trees and lakes and fields Covers light with sounds Paints the silence black Air will come alive With the humming noise Countless tiny wings Piercе the midnight sky Swarming in the dark Crawling in the grass Swimming through thе depths Fill the earth with life With claws of dusk they tear the day apart With teeth of darkness they rip the light to shreds With sound of wings they fill the sky The world embrace by the night will be forever transformed

burning wings are reconquering the sky in the name of the rising sun the night is dead, mutilated by spears of dawn clouds are painted with blood armies of the night sacrificed by day the darkness is slaughtered by sunrise no rest for the tortured soul just ravaging light blazing sun is incinerating trees bringing death to the land below the searing heat will destroy everything in sight leaving cinders and ash there will be no more life under this sky the desert will swallow the charred bones there's no hope to stay alive just fiery doom light will come and burn away hope day will come and bring the pain once more burning wings will obliterate the sky in the name of the setting sun the day is dead, mutilated by spears of dusk clouds are painted with blood armies of the day sacrificed by night the darkness will slaughter the sunlight no rest for the tortured soul just violent frost freezing cold is enveloping the earth bringing death to the land below the endless night will devour everything in sight covering world with ice there will be no more life under this sky the snow will swallow the frozen flesh there's no hope to stay alive just glacial tomb day will only bring the suffering night will only bring the pain moon will only bring the punishment sun will burn away the hope

mournful reverence our voices fade away we drop to our knees prostrated with awe we came to seek redemption atonement for our sins in guilt and desperation, the promise unfulfilled the crimes and dire transgressions too grievous to forgive the wound too deep mournful reverence our weeping fades away we stay on our knees crippled with grief we wasted all our blessings we bled our riches dry the walls now close behind us to bury us alive we've plundered our treasures and poisoned our wells the sickness is upon us the wrath of vengeful skies greed poisoned the soil pride brought our destruction lies we told ourselves damned us to a painful demise guilt is overwhelming, the tears are burning the face of sinner pain excruciating, the endless sorrow, but no forgiveness sins that we committed against our goddess will now be punished death is now upon us, the soothing darkness of uncreation grief overwhelming, death is upon us sins we committed brought our demise all our prayers for salvation won't be heard no forgiveness for the ones who doomed the world pain and sickness all that's left before we fall tears are burning blood is flowing no redemption earth will bury us all our prayers for salvation won't be heard no forgiveness for the ones who doomed the world pain and sickness all that's left before we fall tears are burning blood is flowing no redemption earth will swallow our bones
