Khemmis - Avernal Gate lyrics

Burn the veil of heresy Before it takes another life Where hope dies with every dream Ashes raining from the skies I breathe them in to clear my head But I choke upon the flame A dying light to illuminate Before I reach the end These faded lives are all we have To find our way through shadowed lands We stumblе on with broken backs Holding hearts in calloused hands A storm of liеs within my head As the waves keep crashing down The turbid water won't recede And I fear that I will drown No stars above, the creeping dark Smothers all the lights below This face that haunts me is my own Upon his pallid throne These faded lives are all we have To find our way through shadowed lands We stumble on with broken backs Shielding hearts from callous hands I cast aside the shroud To reveal what's underneath The ground beneath is churning With unblind eyes, I see oblivion beyond the gate Beneath the tide of cinders, I accept this is my fate
