Ballads of death
In killing fields
A new age of fear
A life of kings
Forgotten ones
Concealed in shadows
The piercing wails
Of human flesh

Wraiths ...suspended time and fate
Fate ...comes knocking at the door
Wraiths ...foretell the tyrant's tale
Wraiths ...will sing their glorious songs

Carved for eternity
A name in gold
Seek immortality
In every breath
Yet justice prevails
And in the throes of death
Vengeance is vile
Open the gates of hell

Wraiths ...standing the test of time
Time ...will only wait so long
Wraiths ...foretell the tyrant's fate
Wraiths ...returned to hallowed ground

Columns of rising smoke
Written in wreaths of lies
In unmarked tombs of pain
Silence screams

Unspoken words of valour
Grow louder through the years
Though falling on deaf ears
Are carried by the winds

Relics of sin
Steal the night away
Lurking in sleep
Phantom daffodils

Castles of sand in changing tides
Fall to the scorn of accusing waves
One by one refusing pleas
Digress triumphantly into the seas

As tyrants slowly drown in sacrificial waters
Awaiting wraiths of fabled lore find their peace

Fall back into the mists of fading endless battles
Remembrance following their stoic, solid stride

Wraiths ...standing the test of time
Wraiths ...recall the tyrant's fate
Wraiths ...returned to hallowed ground
Wraiths ...sing their glory

Phantom crows brave the skies
Fallen squires branding the cross
In the wake of rebellion Lucifer's morning star
By the light of the ages the damage is done
Burying the laughter the bright light of darkness is undone
In the blink of an era blinding the sun
Innocence doused in sin

Fallen squires branding the cross
In the arms of affection ravishing virginal pyres
Repenting to mutes sharpen fiery tongues
Reeking of roses the foul air of piety abound
In a moment of strength sanctity downed
Drinking the wine Tasting the flesh
Solemn demons Fallen angels

Crowned desire and chaos, preaching peace
Crowned desire and chaos, repenting honor
Crowned desire and chaos, relentless savior
Crowned desire and chaos, drowning in blood

Seeking paths to eternal bliss
Amongst thieves of eternal youth
Gasping fiends steal the dying breath
The morbid gaze of still life speaks no lies
Phantom crows brave the skies
Fallen squires branding the cross
Innocence doused in sin
Fallen squires

Desecrated
Sealed death
Walking corpses

Reapers of Gormorrah
Calling from the East
Savoring sweet sermons
Satan's feast

Fragrant, foul, alluring
Lurking venom spills
Minions maiming courage
One by one

Desecrated
Putrid lips
Deathly dirges

Reapers of Gormorrah
Marching in the East
Decotion drenched in blood
Deed by deed

Fragrant, foul, alluring
Weeping blinded eye
Hordes awake in nightmares
Dream by dream

Saviors
Soldiers of misfortune
Drown remorse
With scented lies

Wretched are the humble
Blessed are the bold
Craven putrid pledges
Fade

Wretched are the mourners
Blessed those who kill
Infestuous putrid pledges
Cry

Wretched are the peaceful
Blessed cowards flee
Spineless putrid pledges
Run

Inheriting the dying
Hallowed be thy nameless
Lethal putrid pledges
Fade ...Fade

As carrion men moan for burial
And foul deeds reign free upon the earth
No sentry keeps the flame afire while squalls of rage devour their name

Desecrated
Putrid lips
Deathly dirges

For thine is
Life is
For thine is demise
No... No...

Tempestuous souls In everlasting prayers
Rest in peace
Rest in peace

Fractured tombs
And catacombs of woe
Flowers bloom
Flowers bloom

For thine is
Life is
For thine is demise
No... No...

The hollow men
With eyes that disappear
Selling dreams
Selling dreams
Fading stars
Extinguishing the light
Empty tombs
Empty tombs

In this valley of the fallen
The valiant wind carries the souls
Of broken stones
And silents foes
Of hollow men

In Death's other
Kingdom
Walking alone

Solemn night, hearts of gloom
Grieve lasting love
While tales are told to decieve
And songs are sung in distant dying paths
To fill the emptiness... the emptiness

For thine is
Life is
For thine is demise
No... No...
