Scarred Lands Lyrics - In The Shadow Of Your Black Wings - Bloodthorn

The night all winds were still 

And silence lay weightly on the soil 

By a water sat a voiceless man 

Alone by the moonlit mirror 

He looked to the horizon with a mournful heart 

In remembrance of what had been 

Still he could sence the smoke 

Of the countless pyres by the stone 

He let his hands carees the black ground 

Among this urn's' dark ashes lies memories of past times hidden 

Ruins of the times gone by 

Once all this was his... 

His name had been carved in stone 

His image bore into battle 

But his men were defeated 

And his temple burned... 

This mournful man keep silent 

For the faith in him is gone 

And the land he fought to defend 

Has withered in his abscense 

But still some hearts burn with rage 

For the desecration of this land 

Some praise his name at night, 

Some hail his image high... 

And the man knows: 

No lost battle will be forgotten 

In this timeless war 

His name had been carved in stone 

His image bore into battle 

But his men were defeated 

And his temple burned... 

This mournful man keep silent 

For the faith in him is gone 

And the land he fought to defend 

Has withered in his abscense
