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 death

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 swordIn Memorium - Shadows Of Past - http://motolyrics.com/in-memorium/shadows-of-past-lyrics.html

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 death

Raven cries as her body falls

Raven cries deaths initiation

Oh child thou hast killed 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...
