The Serpent And The Shadow lyrics

On the crest of the night Alone in the silence around me Where the ravens that roam Through the eyes of the storm Circle above their prey The beggars that mourn are Sleeping through breaking of day Caress every thought With the peace that you bought Praying in silent scorn Blood for blood Soul for soul The scream of death the pyre burning bright The serpent and the shadow of the black light The demons that crawl The fury of nightmares unknown From their severed tongues come the words of their songs Poison the gods of old
