lyrics

The lantern by the cathedral sways in the middle of an icy field, barren and freshly adorned with snow
Bodies strewn, ritual complete, true horror revealed
It is winter now and no man can bear to witness these sites, but these aren’t really men are they?
The butcher, the priest, the god who has forsaken you when you needed them most

Spirits fade into the mist
Under the gaze; the stained-glass eye
Wisps sway above the fields of ice
Red-stained glass, as above so below

The butcher, the priest and the god who has left you
Just when you held out your hand
Almighty beloved the great absentee
Punish each other, releasing us free

They will march in winter
There’s no help
All the weakened,
dying
Join our dead

They’ll defile your honor
This is Hell
No name spoken
No story to tell

No stories to tell

As We Forget
The siren’s song
In our ears
All along

Clean break
Herded with the outcasts
Freezing without sun
Dying by the hundreds
With nowhere to run

Sleeping with our nightmares
Day brings no relief
Buried are our hopes and
Our bloodstained dreams

This is a deathwish
Join us in our hell
Breathing isn’t living
Nobody could tell

Sleeping with our nightmares
Day brings no relief
Buried are our hopes and
Our bloodstained dreams

No story to tell
Join us in hell
