In Memorium - Shadows Of Past lyrics

A veil of darkness blankets thy awakening senses Oh guardian of thy shadows slumber Bare with thee thy shining sword To cut the veil with an ancient word Carry the flame of thy inner hearth Unto the darkest recesses of thy soul To cast illusion into the void Shadows of past dance with a fire Lit at the edge of darkness Skyline marked for d**h Landscape of forgotten war Bodies fallen below black skies It is there among scavenging dogs Who thirst upon the warm pools of blood A single child stands below The circling birds Her face pale lips flush and her dark eyes Deep and penetrating The beauty which betrays the images of mortal sorrow For she knows there is no comfort Among the living Mesmerized by the blood stained sword Of a fallen warrior The blades intrigue holds her in trance As the childs hand reaches forth Slowly pulled across the blade Silent beauty does not betray The dull pain of unbroken trance This blood poured upon the earth Oh creatures of air Sanctify this offering of innocence The self sacrifice of virgin blood An an obligation of d**h Raven cries as her body falls Raven cries d**hs initiation Oh child thou hast k**ed innocence eternally I beckon thee child of darkness and earth To come forth for in the night I imboke thee and in the hours of twilight I embrace thee as I walk with thee Between two worlds And as the sun riseth I lose thee In the receding shadows of life...
