A Scarlet Threnody Lyrics

Paradise to dust
I lie within this endless dream
Bereft of the seraph's touch
A silhouette - a vision
The fallen angel I grieve
Under distant skies I walk alone
Where light evades and silence breathes
Her bitter rain to bless my skin
Washing the mire from my eyes
To rise from the depths
Where darkness sleeps within
Blood stains the stone betrayed
Where the spirit of my heart lies
This temple forever burned - burning inside
On the face of broken pillars
A scarlet threnody of days gone cold
Etched with the thorns pulled from my chest
Here rests our sorrows nevermore
At the throat of the world I kneel
Where burden fills the voiceless air
And from its crest drip frozen tears
Flooding this forgotten vale
A ballad of sundered wings
Of memory's pale splendor
The ruins of my defeat
Blood stains the stone betrayed
Where the spirit of my heart lies
This temple forever burned - burning inside
On the face of broken pillars
A scarlet threnody of days gone cold
Etched with the thorns pulled from my chest
Here dies our sorrows evermore
Paradise to dust
I lie within this endless dream
Bereft of the seraph's touch
A silhouette - a vision
The fallen angel I grieve
Under distant skies I walk alone
Where light evades and silence breathes
