Heroes In Hellfire

(album: Halfwolf - 2023)

And so it ends
A lovechild of the heavens has been burned again
Abandoned works of art
Left on our own to fend
For what mother has returned to make her own
When the creator returns home
A broken heart
Has tainted our existence since our ominous start
We pray to fallen angels
But the foolish part
Is no matter who you serve you're all alone

Foundations are crumbling
We live with our sins
The zealots cry victory
Then nobody wins
Made heroes in hellfire
The lovers at war
With a wanderer like us
To settle the score

A tragic song
It whispers from the taverns to the charred beyond
The tale of hope in madness against countless odds
When a lonely wolf resisted mother's grace
And drew a challenge to her place
The die is cast
And devil's deals will haunt us from our distant past
The peace we steal for promises will never last
Because the angels care not for the ends we chase

Foundations are crumbling
We live with our sins
The zealots cry victory
Then nobody wins
Made heroes in hellfire
The lovers at war
With a wanderer like us
To settle the score

A turn of the ages
A quarrel for our lands
In nightmares we suffer
The game of the damned
For heroes and villains
In darkness they'll end
But that's when our light
Can be seen once again
So cheers to the victors
Not chosen or true
The lost and forgotten
Inspired like you
Most touched by corruption
But we still remain
In the fight of existence
Through torment and pain

Foundations are crumbling
We live with our sins
The zealots cry victory
Then nobody wins
Made heroes in hellfire
The lovers at war
With a wanderer like us
To settle the score
