1. Sovereign Seek refuge in the burning night It's not awake nor dwelling in slumber Shelter will come to those who persist The dawn will ride the darkest horse Where the waters run the deepest The flames will bury the highest Abandon the throne and crown the sky with burden The longest morning carries the night I am finally here Dressed in charcoal and ashes I close my eyes to darken the black Dressed in charcoal and ashes I pour my blood upon the empty throne The day is dead Destroyed by the night And with the dawning in sight I give to you In the darkest hour, before the dawn I close my eyes The longest morning carries the night I am finally here Dressed in charcoal and ashes I close my eyes to darken the black Dressed in charcoal and ashes I pour my blood upon the empty throne 2. At the Behest of Night At night we bathe in worry and unrest Our fury kept by the silent wall With cloven hoof and lightning tongue The forbidden slithers here, in these halls The rivers of night run through the gardens Like ravaging horses cut from their shackles Their presence feeds from temptation The unclean has no blood on his hands Pristine in fur and ivory horn Are we lead onto his mighty blade Or do we choose to bleed upon it Can you hear it call Surrender to the night Lead by guilt and desire Temptation will be your fall Beneath the veil Wallowing decadence With solemn power Spraying like blood on our faces Cleansing our hearts from their burdens A sense of desire will lead us astray Your eye like a mirror Devoid of untrue colors Can you hear it call Surrender to the night Lead by guilt and desire Temptation will be your fall 3. Solitude and Silence Unending drapes, a veil between us Cannot be unseen It's getting dim but I can feel your scent All that is real is out of reach Your face is not what it used to be It has been marked by the shadows Your voice has lost its words All drowned in the silver rain You're still by my side But a thousand miles away I can still see you But you're out of reach Transcend through the silver at heart Bare your bones for thr starving eyes Reach now for a higher ground Or surrender to the silence Into the storm Where light takes form A bleeding veil Will divide the trail When the dust has settled Our eyes will clear again I lost you in the stampede Still everything remains 4. Thornwalker Tread careful The shards are sharp and vengeful The venom has coursed through generations Lustrous at a glance, in patterns of wrath It's not burning My crown is not of fire It's the weight that I must carry The faith that I will bury It not burning My crown is not of fire It's the weight that I must carry The faith that I will bury Clear the path for the silent choir Gather now in circles of fire Pierce the throats of those who sing Silence will bare your wings The tar wood flame The trembling night Shrouded love Sacred bond Thorn walker Thorn walker Endless seems the scorching ring Let the crowd watch the offering Don't let the silence be in vain It's not burning My crown is not of fire It's the weight that I must carry The faith that I will bury Clear the path for the silent choir Gather now in circles of fire Pierce the throats of those who sing Silence will bare your wings 5. Blood in the Furrows Standing in line on the limestone shore As the first sparks are thrown upon the hay Like lonely stars shooting through the night Onto our wooden homes where we reside Where we reside When the sun sets on the second day None will be left to lead the way The deeds of times that has gone by Will be carried by the wind Fading stars in shape of an arrow To the heart of the night Hanging by the frayed strands The night dwells in its burrows Condemned by the holy hands Our blood in the furrows May our torn bonds be stronger When we gather after the fire Summon the blood where you stand Harvest the new where you sow 6. Lights on the Mire You call and I answer Our song deflects all harmony We will meet on the other side I can see them now Like lights on the mire Make the final sacrifice Before the entrance of the night When the moon brings the shadows to life The webs must be untwined Misled by the lambent lights The trees around are unforgiving Swear your oath to the promised road And never waver from it The lights will dissolve like drops of blood in water And the truth will be spilled in a deadly dance The uncertainty will evaporate To reveal the crystalline path The hesitation will thicken the fog Just for a moment and all will be gone All that is left is the flickering trail The dawn is not the end 7. Beyond Thunder I thought salvation was waiting Beyond the mountains, beyond the dawn My inner shadows were carried by your grace A golden thorn upon your brow When I gaze upon the sky The light reminds me of you And as I close my eyes You remain in my sight Like mercenaries of the night Bound by blood, gathered for the reckoning Strung together by passion Avoiding the light at every cost We would search for the fire in our hearts And we would reach for the stars Our tale will be told And all the truths will unfold We were the lightnings above On the thundering sky And we would reach for the stars We would reach for the fire The rain will wash away the trail And seal away the fire within the stone But wher the stone will meet the ground The end will mark a new beginning Lyrics in plain text format
