Serpents and Bones Lyrics

Alters of ashes
Forgotten relics of a lost belief
Withstood millennia
Sheltered amongst the trees

Constructed in the time of giants
To harness the power of the unseen
Watched over by the lowly ones
Who live as servants of unnatural means

Words from long ago
Echo through holy stone
Hands that beckon shadows
No longer lie in wait
Outstretched through the void of time

Bound in by gates of bone
Magic of sacred stone
Awakened by passages
Uttered once more

The dawn of what will never be
Forged in the darkness of the new moon
Ancient tablets of prophecy
Resting there betwixt the branches come aglow

A shrine in the wilderness
Becomes grounds for conjurations
The seeds of abomination
Are planted once again

Shadows in the fog
Within the haze of ritual
Illuminating the undergrowth
As the forest begins to stir

No longer in repose
Released from the spirit world
Set forth to walk the earth
As the season of night falls amongst their steps

Crawling darkness
Shrouds the landscape
Age of emptiness
As humanity lies spellbound

The dawn of what will never be
Forged in the darkness of the new moon
Ancient tablets of prophecy
Resting there betwixt the branches come aglow

A shrine in the wilderness
Becomes grounds for conjurations
The seeds of abomination
Are planted once again

Alters of ashes
Forgotten relics of a lost belief
Withstood millennia
Sheltered amongst the trees

Resurrected in an era of doubt
As a beacon of renewal
Period of dormancy
Enables a slow regrowth

Words from long ago
Echo through holy stone
Hands that beckon shadows
Reveal the ancient spell of serpents and bones
