Hallig - Of Stone and Dust Lyrics


As the day evades the night

So silent lies the perished landscape

At the gates of meanly dwelling

A visitant of judgement enters

Made of bliss and golden light

They were five by number

Grudging effigies ten eyes frozen

Staring from the otherside

Hidden in the hollows

What is above shall remain above

What is below shall remain below

Their brethren well concealed

With no sense for lurid beauty

Malformation, deformation

Unsightly hideous duty

And so the words were spoken

Into the gleaming faces

Their pristine spirits broken

With a glimpse of forlorn graces

What is above shall remain above

What is below shall remain below

And so the wretched spawn fades

Drawn into the depths of the dark earth

A tomb under a moonlit megalith

Gnarling spells and hexes

Gorging roots and debris

Rustling limbs and corpses

Screeching cuss and curses

Lurking hell and haven

Bracing fear and terror

Never to wander along the green

Never to linger beyond the silence

But always bound by force

Stone and dust above

Never to smell the air of autumn

Never to rise with the gust of spring

Always cursed to seek and to creep

And to nourish the blaze

The blaze of burning desire for salvation

Deep inside the lair, with thoughts of vengeance

Keeping their dead eyes on lucid dreams
