lyrics

Screams pierce my dreams in the cool Minano night.
Awakened in a cold sweat, my thoughts resigned.
I rush to the window of my scarlet laden sanctum.
Behind the curtains, silence in the twilight.

I swear I saw it,
unbridled genocide,
cobblestone traced in blood and
virtue most defiled.

No sum of wine
will alleviate the nightmares.
The visions haunt my very soul,
be damned, my foresight.
Could the dreams be nothing more
than simply fantasy
born from my cicatrix of witchery?

Years and years,
I have held fast,
the tomes of Hell amassed.
The toll they’ve taken on my soul
is everlasting.
Yet a gift of red stone,
born from a crimson book,
guards me in the solemn nights
of which I now must sit and bide.

The screams still searing in my heart
as clear as day.
A bottle down,
another found,
yet nothing will gift aid.
Rage within boils as I curse my yielding god,
when a glint of flame presents itself
behind my windows’ refuge…

Beyond the glass,
my nightmares have come true.
Before me, I see the doom of which had woken me.
Gripping the stone,
as tears fall from my eyes,
A hopeless reign of death ascending,
my thoughts resigned…

Forsaken.
Forgotten.
Apostasy reversed.
The long night of the Ebon Vale has dawned.
