lyrics

“Bleed out!
It’s the burden of your clan,
so son, bleed out.
It’s our sorrow, and our fate,
so boy, bleed out.
It’s written in your veins, you know;
your forebears hung themselves with rope
and this here, it’s your destiny.”

So I
set foot in this sacred place again
but it’s gone,
all vestige fucking gone.
I hold your empty gaze in mine,
but must I leave our past behind?
“The spine of nature bends blind.”
Farewell; my will is thine…

This is the end,
this is my last unmaking;
unchain the wolf.

This is the end,
lineage stands unbreaking,
so unchain the wolf

What hell is this
that seethes before my eyes?
Is this what I called home?
One last nail for the god you failed…
That’s all.
That’s all I have to give.

“Stop shaking, make a noose;
this rope, it held your father; it can hold you.
The taking of our men too soon
is old,
older than you,
older than me;
it comes whether you’re ready
or not…”

Never again
slumbering embers to wake;
Only the dead
celebrants here in decay.

Withered life,
dream again…

Ahhhhh

“Give me your hand,
As a pledge of sincerity”

The twilight fades:
all fortresses sink below
the surface of the roaring waves.

Open his maw
On earth, in sky; sun and moon devoured
Between the great beast’s gaping jaws…
Go!

The mirror gaze
Is fractured, and it’s a lie,
the ashes of some distant blaze.

Swallow me whole;
leave my good eye with the wanderer:
to set aflame the bowels cold…
Go!

One more time,
Here’s to demise…
Chorus 2 (growled):
This is the end,
this is my last unmaking;
unchain the wolf.

This is the end,
heritage stands unbreaking,
Un….
Unchain the wolf.
Unchain the wolf…
