Starless Paths 歌词

Cruel is the winter's might Dreadful the howl of wind Beyond the pathless treks we roam Where the church bells never toll The bloodhounds thrash and moan A raven takes flight and caws Shadows glance behind every tree The forest is watching our way Through this moonless night Through these starless paths We roam For the hunt has begun Deeper we march into the unknown Deeper into the hidden womb of the woods There is no return A lonely hut at the edge of a cliff A lonely hut waits there at the end of the world A house deserted and cold Wind-watcher and healer A woman of might Keeper of the secrets Of worlds above and below I carry the torch here I bring forth the flame I ward off the darkness Cast the shadows away Cast the shadows, cast the shadows away Hear how the spirits ride across the night sky Christ will scour this squalid land Christ will hunt down the heretics and foes So they say Devils lurk among the shadows of the trees Demons wait outside the fences of Lord's church yard They wait for our souls Through this moonless night Through these starless paths We roam For the hunt will go on Wind-watcher and healer A woman of might Keeper of the secrets Of worlds above and below I carry the torch here I bring forth the flame I ward off the darkness Cast the shadows away Enlightenment prevails Over surmise and hate Over pastors and zealots Over gallows and stocks I draw out the lead I stitch her wound Outside in the coldness I'm gasping for air I carried the torch here Brought reason and hope I'm the herald of new dawn Harbinger of light But then there's a scream in the night And flames they rise And winds they blow She's gone Into the dark
