A Covenant Born in Silence Lyrics

A shadow hides the mountain, a grey haze covers the trail
Footsteps of ancestors, who lived to the tell the tale
Dealing with the serpent, in the twilight of the dawn
There’s blood on the contract, but you can’t make the bargain

Sit in the meadow and wonder what you’ve done
The demon waits for his toll
You wanted to run from this place a thousand times
But you’re driven to embrace the fold

You hear the scream of the banshee, the beast flies from the trees
Flowers wilt in your Eden, you give in to the Earth
You wonder if they’ll miss you, or if they’ll even search
You reach out to the darkness, you crave its cold embrace

You lay in the valley and laugh at what you’ve done
You paid the demon’s toll
This forest holds the silence of a thousand years
And you’re driven to embrace the fold
