Hollenthon - Tyrants And Wraiths lyrics

Ballads of d**h In k**ing 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 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 d**h 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 Ballads of d**h In k**ing fields A new age of fear
