The Fall of a Once Great House Lyrics


I. Blood, Ichor, Stone and Steel

A certain wander is captured

In the eyes of the dead

The relief of fate and final words left of unsaid

Now the smell of blood is masked by the climbing rose

And it flows in the cracks of the stone

All the blades have lost their lust

Armor and shields lay strewn,

 no words worth to utter

To fight in this world, you accept

the blood ichor, stone and steel

And all it reveals, the dark it conceals

Do you feel the end? Do you hear

the hymns of old as they fade,

left untold

II. Final Battle of Renivore Keep

Well, what's this?

I know the dash of steel

Sense the violence,

the men have yet to yield

Round the walls, into the hold,

bodies piled high

Blackened tar, burning vats could

not prevent the fall

Banners, golden signal tattered

where they lie

The cry of the past with its haunted wail

comes screaming through the day

It's been known this day would

come, but we would never kneel

Great families will fall and

riches disappear

But we forever fight till every heart

is stilled

Old wounds turn scar but this one

never healed

Ancient rivals will go silent but lay

in wait with sword and shield

Fortifications break as waves of

nemesis break through

We attack their flank as my father sits

upon his throne of doom

It's been known this day would

come, but we would never kneel

Great families will fall and

riches disappear

But we forever fight till every heart

is stilled

I never thought I'd see the day when

lands vanish and all turns gray
