In the Gravelight Lyrics


In the corner of a cabin

Upon a throne

Sits a man with his thoughts

All alone

Left to ponder and brood

For an eternity

As his heart laments

The lost fraternity

Again and again

He tries to justify

The crime committed

The fratricide

An idle plea, he cries out

In his foul plight

To undo the deed

Done under starlight

The crime committed

Under the starlight

The last lights fade

Into the night

Away from the one

Who sought their kind

This is what becomes of thee

When you forsake me

Sleep inside through the polar night

Astray in the gravelight

This is what becomes of thee

When you forsake me

This is what becomes of thee

When you forsake me

Slowly, steadily,

The flames are left to die

Nothing left to feed

His own pitiful lie

As the night falls

And veils the skies

One light remains

The fire in his eyes

And the darkness reigns in his mind

In this night, only silence remains

Chained inside the feverish mind

The demons dance in the firelight

This is what becomes of thee

When you forsake me

Sleep inside through the polar night

Astray in the gravelight

This is what becomes of thee

When you forsake me

This is what becomes of thee

When you forsake me

Sleep inside through the polar night

Astray in the gravelight

This is what becomes of thee

When you forsake me

This is what becomes of thee

When you forsake me

Deep inside, the ice entwines

Deep inside, the ice entwines

Lost in the growing night

Astray in the gravelight

This is what becomes of thee

When you forsake me
