Carve a Stone at the Dawning Lyrics


Again the flames find me

I let my guard down

Spires circle and close in

Searing and scorching

Red frantic horror

And when the flames find me

Each time they catch me

With my blood boiling over

Blistering, burning

In the mouth of death I rise

Don’t let the flames find you

Don’t let them catch you

Shield your sword as they close in

Fear for you facing

That red frantic horror

I see the flames try you

They’ll try to catch you

Watch your blood boiling over

Blistering, burning

In the mouth of death…

Your eyes they betray your conviction

I need you resisting the total consumption

Bear teeth draw your claws for the war now

Stand by for the body’s reaction

I know that I will find you

I know one day I’ll find you dead

I know one day the witch will take your head

Vessel broken from the conquest

The charred remains a marker of the end

In spite of all the help that I could lend

Watching the hypnotic glow

Your eyes they just showed no conviction

You laid down to embrace the total consumption

I’ll carve a stone at the dawning

Kneel down and await resurrection

I knew that I would find you

I knew one day I’d find you dead

I knew one day the witch would take your head

Vessel broken from the conquest

The charred remains a marker of the end

In spite of all the help that I could lend

Still every night I wander

Cold winds and damp black soil twisting the path that leads me back

Moon wash each desperate corner

Nothing familiar, nothing, no one

I can't just leave you out there

The wolves, the souls the unmarked, unmarked, unmarked graves of old regret

I mark the trees to count my days

My vacant eyes still flicker searching for a memory

Still every night I wander

Cold winds and damp black soil twisting the path that leads me back

Moon wash each desperate corner

Nothing familiar, nothing, no one
