Angel Of The Dark

(Album: Let There Be Fire - 2018)

Snow capped skies
Standing by while cities
Perish in the reaches of the deep
Bloodlines fall
Lost it all, the pain of
Severing the bond we had as three

Here in a sanctum long abandoned
Unto the tinder falls a spark
I have a holy call to answer
To be an angel of the dark
So I will pray for death to take you
With my own cold and weary hands
And you'll arise reborn of ashes
Before the fire fades again

Close your eyes
Fire must die, and I will
Reap your embered spirit to survive
Let us rest
Never test the darkness
Keeping our own winter dream alive

One chosen path
A silent, tranquil
End without the purging fire
Fade to black like our desire
You've come too far
Unkindled like
I was before I saw the answer
To our rotting, hollow cancer
Now you have seen the father's anguish
Atop a painted glacier's peak
You've heard the tales of ash before you
From timeless legends that they speak
If you can listen now to reason
Then take the whispers to the heart
Forget this cold and black consumption
Forget this angel of the dark
