Carrion King versuri

Versuri Khemmis – Carrion King lyrics

So here I stand at the bleeding edge of man
Encircled by the hordes, those carriers of plague and war
To seize my lands
And all we cherish in our homes

Light above, relieve me from this world
Within the dark, I endure

I am entombed deep within a labyrinth of dread and stone
Consumed by the cries of cold, blackened skies
And now I will suffer like the saints

Green trellised lands
Give comfort where they can
In centuries obscure
The bodies stacked before my door

Light above, relieve me from this world
Within the dark, I endure

The silver in my blood holds no shelter from this storm
Prodigy and lore, I endure

Scrawled in flesh, inked in the blood of the martyrs
The putrescence of things forgotten
A corpse wall of sons and daughters
Beneath the ossuary, cold and alone
I long to atone for what I’ve done

Light above, enshrined forevermore
In craven thoughts, I’m interred

Behind the shame that binds me
No one could save me from myself
Kingdoms torn apart
Become my hell

Time fractured and mute
As I dream amongst your shadows
Erupting into light
An imperfect effigy burning in the night
In empyrean flames, burn
