Angels Of Veiled Bone lyrics

Ailing faces fall like rain from spires of gaunt cathedrals above And onto autumnal wilted trees fall grave clothes of burials recent and near Momento mori, the joyless dance Momento mori, the distant songs There we stand for in silence all laughter cracks The open door and gaping shadowy halls stand wide in cold splendor of marble and stone And from pulpits appear faces that stare, cruel mockeries of the closest in life now gone Momento mori, the joyless dance Momento mori, the distant songs From leaden corridors below slither the words of all before Twelve angels of veiled bone on shadowed rafters and staring down Twelve angels of veiled bone on shadowed rafters and staring down And there now riddles unlock with eerie sound and crushing weight All Stygian beasts, angels and loved in sacrosanct chambers of the pit
