The veil of night creeps closer Smothering the distant hills Fear now will roam the darkness In this forsaken land No more will the day hold back the night Hope no longer restraining the blight No more will the sun caress thy skin Only the pale moon remains, both boon and bane Shards of twilight pierce the gloom Woodlands void of all that moves Silence falls upon the empty vales Black whispers drift across the winds No shelter from the end of life Despair to all under the fading light Those who traverse these haunted woods Tell tales of towns, left bleak and cold Of slaughtered folk, of deserted homes Of beasts that lust for blood and bone The shadow descends upon shallow graves Awakening ghouls of a forgotten age Howls tear through the silent forests Padded footsteps echo through the mist No safety left in the haunts of man These fiends rule this darkened realm Silence falls upon the empty vales Black whispers drift across the winds No shelter from the end of life Despair to all under the fading light Flee or fight, all will be consumed No morning will rise, this night be thy doom
