Torchbearer of the Cadaverous Dawn Lyrics


Feed me your truths

Your deftly chiselled idols

I throw down my gauntlet on this day

All you pervert

Through obstinate debasement

I hunger to tear down and disperse

All doors led here

The labyrinth is burning

The jade stare reflects the screaming fall

Soundless as death

A stream of frozen instants

Carves grief into lineaments of glass

For even when the abyss sleeps

The roaring currents play for keeps

Don't dare to tempt what waits outside

The harsh path stretches ever wide

And from the mist cold light arose

And in their throats all pleadings froze

I sensed the springs of hope run dry

And silence fill the frightful sky

When time spilled tears upon these bone white sands

When winds poured war into the howling sea

The threads of fate converged from ravished lands

To these titanic halls of misery

Glaring upwards as if to slash those seething heights

To rain illumination down upon pillars of salt

These eyes absorbed the icecold depths of starless nights

And nailed the crawling traitors to the cross of their own fault

Sickly glows streak

The easternmost horizon

As pale as your terror stricken masks

This is all true

Discard the shroud of slumber

And empty this goblet to the dregs

Pray for the earth

To smother with oblivion

The sights etched like scars within your minds

Thus here I stand

To witness the awakening

The blazing gates tremble to reveal
