Famine Storm Lyrics - Singles - Sorrowseed

Darkness descends from the firmament 

Shredding winds sever the lifelines 

Unbound in torment - these victims of sentience 

They mourn the scattered fragments of their designs. 

These are the remnants of a fragile civilization 

Terror takes the reins in the fate of the storm's manifestation. 

Oh, see them wither in the wake of a carrion rain 

Worms erupt from the soul to lay claim to the grains. 

Corrosive waters fall to drown the vermin 

Mortals perish alone in rusted enclosures 

Sinking - the undertow begins 

Such fallible creatures cannot hope to endure. 

The stentorian call of thunder 

Awakens me to the true nightmare 

Cyclones harrow through the headstones' 

Sundered cityscapes in despair 

Long ago, they prayed to Her 

To guard crops from malignant swarms 

Now, wreathed in a cloud of locusts 

I watch the defilers waste away in the famine storm. 

The famine storm...
