Thus Defiled

(Angelblood) The Tears Of An Age Now Dead

Thus Defiled


As the darkness falls I hear their silent cries
Through the eyes of night I see
As lightning tears the sky, and fire and ice collide
'Neath the burning moon they ride

Across the frozen waters to lands that lie in dreams
Beneath the mountains of night
Touch the serpent tear, feel the power flow,
Hear the midnight thunder roar

Dance of the burning winterflame
It burns like ice into my soul
The fires of life they burn no more...

Into legends kingdom, I hear the voice of stone,
I touch the heart of night, I claim the winterthrone
Dance of the burning winterflame
It burns like ice into my soul
As lightning tears the sky, and fire and ice collide,
'Neath the burning moon I see them ride
Across the frozen waters, to lands that lie in dreams,
Beneath the mountains of night where all power dwells

As the clouds hide the moon from the world below
And the trees speak the name of the one to come
Through the sight of the dragon's burning emerald eye
Lead my path to the lands untouched by light

When the night shall rise to claim its final throne
Hear the sound of the burning heavens
Angelblood, the tears of an age now dead
Feel the power of the horde of night
