lyrics

Lost in the fog that lies beyond the door
Frozen, i had my head with horror bound
Where gray waters caress the muddy shore
Miserable cries from unseen graves

Lament a fate forever set in stone
Forever removed from the peace they crave

Deaf to all misery except their own
The shadows emerge from whence i came
Joined in Death, in dismay rotting alone
The old man relishes our crippling shame

On the boat our hopes fade away
In his eyes lit with obscure flame

The bleak river has been crossed
The damned march in resigned silence
To the eternal shades in heat and frost

I fell and crashed on barren hills
I sprouted twisted branches
Thorns grew from my rotting skin

My leaves fall
And turn to ashes
I have no mouth
And i need to scream

Creatures in woods
At night come
Demented beasts
Feed on my crown

I was once a man
Soon forgotten
The vermin devoured
my mind

In blood their feast ended
And this one began

Now I am no more
I fade into
The firey sky
And so does the pain
In endless eons
Even pain may die

Lament a fate forever set in stone
Forever removed from the peace they crave
On the boat our hopes fade away
In his eyes lit with obscure flame
