Lantern - Black Miasma lyrics

In the swamp by the lakeside In the leaden skies’ unrest A heart lay solely beating At an eldritch behest Listen them sing when the moon’s ablaze! Where sombre trees bow grandly upon dark gates of moss He reached out for a secret that should have remained lost …He hailed his grave Heed this tale of him who heard the lunatic refrain Now consumed by the black earth – never to be seen again From his dying womb his foul remembrance crawled the firth A roiling plague, his shadow thick – miasmal afterbirth Black miasma over fields of red Condemned to contain the virulent curse in him; His asylum inside the lungs of townsmen Black d**h to make them revel and sing A hundred-voice hymn dying Spawning from the water Stirring from the spring of bones Leaking from the cracks of earth The pestilential fog enthroned In the echoes of their dying chant In the dirges of their souls nearing d**h At the dawn of their new renaissance Lowered lies the conqueror’s wreath Black d**h over fields of red …And their chant goes on and on and on…
