Lachrymose and funereal wasteland Of weathered peaks and abandoned trails Where the whispers of sorrow Permeate every somber vale An ethereal vestment Rests adorned on the lifeless air Neath the sprawl ancient summits ascend As effigies mute in eternal prayer Obscure as the years that have fallen in silence Lost paths that erstwhile had led t'ward the old Gods Now host to the footfalls of ruin Frozen wounds carve a landscape of scars Born of Winter, across horizons torn In the twilight stirs a creeping dark For the shadows are beholden to the dawn The eons are stillborn As time cannot rule the dead A shroud of inertia Obscures the abyss t'ward which we're led Beyond empyreal veil we have fallen Before the fields of despair we have come Night eternal Invokes a yearning forlorn Desires that wander And gather in the moonlight Their wounded hearts succumb In darkness led astray Vast forms of colossal remains And towering pillars of bone In death, but a shrine to the end A cenotaph set in the ancient stone We pass through the hollows of death Pervading the earth they decay Drawn down by the call of the grave And the withering vestige of light fading away The weeping hollows pray In silent hymn T'ward shadows we will fall Their frozen tongues, our hearts enthrall Abandoned Gods Wander the sky Their ruined will divine Cursed by our vengeful hearts malign As our effigies fall The wounded will break in the fray The accursed, ever chasing the lies Our fervent longings betray Writhing in torment The pain ever keeping our demons at bay The throe of arcane verse Whispered through the void Predestine and forespoken The darkness lingers in the air And calls to thee unbroken As shadows cast before the pyre Our flames portend our fall From spark to all-consuming blaze The endless reach of night comes for us all
