Huntsmen Awake At Time's End
Terrified of all my thoughts, jackal eyes in crushing dark
Phantoms ride the howling wind trying to snuff the fire out
Burn the witching hour with me, sing of timeless suffering
To keep the sky from closing in, to keep the hills from swallowing
Rouse the dreamer from her sleep to walk the lonely dunes with me
Sand to count until we die, stars to map a nameless sea
When you first came I dreamed of snow, though I'd never seen it before
A clear bell sounded in my soul, an echoing of what we were
With war a long lost memory, a past sunk deep in distant grief
War a future far removed, snowfall on the jagged peaks
War is riding on the wind, war will soon be swallowing
War will snuff the fire out, wed us to the earth again
God, demon, or only a man?
Try, fail to kill me again
Bled, eaten, reborn of the sand
Try, fail to kill me again
Hell, Eden, awake at time's end
Try, fail to kill me again
Crawl, scrape, blister and beg
Try, fail to kill me again
Burn out the heart!
From ash grows life
Bring down the stars!
The seed survives
Drown her in sand!
The sand provides
Rip off her wings!
The swallow's flight
