Tumbling towers The forest devours Walls in your mind Poisonous ivy The roots of the dead tree Slave to the blind Ghosts of the centuries Linger below me Keeps you inside Crumbling castles Your body's a vessel Slowly unwinds The scar on the land will return to sand Under the rubble Toil and trouble The winter of our discontent Fate or misfortune The stones are consumed Back to the mines where they slept Turning the table Men in the stable First will be last Shortening seasons Reason is treason Shatter the hourglass The scar on the land return to sand Nothing time can withstand Wasting of ages return to the earth Thunder or lightning which came first As above as below the ground Tumbling towers tumbling down On the horizon Sun keeps on rising Melting away Shadows that once tall Now they are small Black turns to grey Fire and through thunder The castle still slumbers A god of the old Slowly comes creeping The reaper is seeking Death taking hold Grave or cradle which came first Time it will waste us A curse of the earth
