Ver Sacrum Lyrics


The pact unsworn, the oath is gone

Reaped what sown, harvest undone

Now earth as hard as iron drawn

Every fallen one denied welcome

More, forevermore

Reprise the promise of yore

No more, nevermore

When at last sun winter frees

Hunger revives as sleep recedes

Eternal greed must mortal feed

Veracious idols with gift and creed

Into the night...

Slaver falls on fields beneath

Grinding teeth prayers heaved

Plague on pleas, blight upon kneeled

Sardonic bile starving gods will bleed

Famine far from satisfied

Every marked of age exiled

And those of weakened stride

Embraced by eventide, of rivers wide

Rage, burn and rave on close of day

As I have given you life

My gift is mine to take away

Go gentle into the night, my child
