Bury me in the back of the forest
The stolen ground now a wasteland
A towering Cairn to the old Gods
A final resort for forgiveness
Our unabating Hunger and greed
Sated only by sanctioned desecration
Standing at the edge of darkness
They knew this would never end well
Let me hold your salt and sorrow
Serpent's coil unwinds the blood stone
Calloused hand of dread grips
And tears deep the yearning and marrow
Listen the seven bells toll
Across the valleys a call to arms
Clutching to crystalized lies
Sorrows untold
All we can do about everything wrong
Sail forth into the storm
Too late to find our way out
And die for a promised land
Our children have fallen on blades
Our children are burning at stakes
Our children are towers of ashes
