The Glades and the Cradle Lyrics

There's a tale told on these hands
Pour another round for the poetry's sake
As the glass glimmers and glows
Fine wine the shade of a fated rose

If you reap what's mine the thorns you'll find
Watch the fabric grow, awake at night
You'll know

WHEN THE CRADLE CRIES
AND THE LAND UNLOCKS THE LIGHT
YOU’RE SEARCHING FOR
EMBRACE THE TALE
AS THE GLADES RETELL MY PAST
COVER ME AND LET THE NIGHT LAST

When the chalky cavalry ride
Lead me away from the gates of hell
Arrive when my soul
Is but coal to feed to a frozen well

All the answers lie before your eyes
For time, the fable planned before the man
Can't die

WHEN THE CRADLE CRIES
AND THE LAND UNLOCKS THE LIGHT
YOU’RE SEARCHING FOR
EMBRACE THE TALE
AS THE GLADES RETELL MY PAST
SING WITH ME
THE SONG OF THE NIGHT
CALLING FROM THE TREES
THE LEAVES IGNITE
WE TELL THE TALE
OF THE GLADES AT PEACE AT LAST
FOLLOW ME AND LET THE NIGHT LAST

AND LET THE NIGHT LAST!
