Our hollow bones, mere flutes to the wind Once learnt, all roads lead to ruin Pathways they become overgrown We all once bow to the same tone Shreds of will and shreds of faith Devoured by rust are blade and plate The night's hunger for dying light Draws to shadows the remains of life Fading the echo of eight hoove's gait Ears stay deaf to every new tale In birth we are draped in death's grey veil Forced to follow the shadowed trail Return to earth to dream and decay Forget this march of fear and fey For soon your strength will fail and break Soon your life's weak flame shall fade
