about

Autumn: Tale II

lyrics

Death: “Come along and face the end
I have yet to find a worthy opponent
Judgment day is close at hand
And I command you to leave your scorched land
Countless souls knelt before the council and begged
And you shall be no different”

The Condemned One: “Fire has engulfed my entire life
The stench of charred flesh haunts me and sears me dry
To quench my thirst I've waded through filth and slime
Disposed of all in my path, however meek and benign
Now, lust for blood made way for remorse
And I shall accept all that lies before me”

The ferryman came and took all shades of light
Nightmares consumed both day and night
The end began and carried the sails like a storm
Life will go on

Their stares were empty, mouths shut
Solely emitting a daunting aura of grace

My heart froze as my eyes met the eldest
Cloaked in black, seemingly older than time itself

A sudden flash broke my memory
Losing consciousness, now exposed to their will

Now I anxiously await...
And now I anxiously await...

The ferryman came and took all shades of light
Nightmares consumed both day and night
The end began and carried the sails like a storm
Life will go on

The time has come
I was awakened by a siren's song
I gazed upon a familiar face
Her lips were moist, inviting me

Her voice as soft as a virgin's skin
Caressing all that lurked within
Yet I was never more certain
And so she vanished into thin air

The ferryman came and took all shades of light
Nightmares consumed both day and night
The water stood still yet the boat passed by
Such is life

The facade fell
I stood there, paralysed and shocked
Knee-deep in mud, a fetid swamp
Facing a wizard's hut

He stood armed
With a sceptre and the trace of a smile
The eldest of the council
Leading me to a new life

Still the leaves fall...

The ferryman came and took all shades of light
Nightmares consumed both day and night
The water stood still yet the boat passed by
Such is life

And the leaves fall
And the leaves fall
And the leaves fall...
