Cross Vault - At Our Bleakest lyrics

Twas the bleakest, the coldest of days Those of orifices running Light had changed from grey to yellow And we stood amidst, in most taking winds I tilted my temple, took a tree above in sight As did I the loins I held a thousand times before But it was not the strongest grip they lay in this day That with a manifold of fingers could not take control "Twas here I sold you!", quoth the raspy voice Under this very chestnut tree, For I was put to the test and did not stand the wave "Twas two that sold one another!", quoth I And spoke so in a voice stripped to the bone For my words too were put to practice And stood neither temptation, nor screams, nor fists And as we stood we saw a phalanx of stars above In which there was no betrayal, as was it devoid in us And we all had sworn alliance, had it not been for pain and fright And the peace of mind, the overarching bow The most severe betrayal, the most severe denial
