Devouring Fire Lyrics by Lethean

The Waters of Death

2018

Like hemlock wilfully drunk to the drains
A draught to dull the limbs and still the anguished heart
Flames consume the curse, and cleansing currents rush
And still I am unquenched, unforged

Tongues of fire take me, your hunger will I sate
Carry off in choking plumes these memories unmade
This pyre blazing becomes a beacon for the lost
They who wander in the dark whose names will be forgot

Sweet maiden speak your vengeance
And ride your steed into the flames
See the heavens tumble, hear the raven cry
Borne on swift wings of hatred
Their doom the gods will find in thee
They who reigned as tyrants will meet a mortal end

The well is poisoned, overflowing, and deeply shall I drink again
To wander dark delirious woods in nighted lands forlorn

Like venom's wicked taint drawn from a wound
To drown in slumber endless and wake on shores unknown
Flames consume the curse, and cleansing currents rush
And still I am unquenched, unforged

Tongues of fire take me, your hunger will I sate
Carry off in choking plumes these memories unmade
This pyre blazing becomes a beacon for the lost
They who wander in the dark whose names will be forgot
The shadows lengthen, engulfing hills in graven shade
Ashes scattered to the wind, of progeny unnamed
The veil is lifted, the pyre doused with flowing tears
Build a cairn upon my bones for every eye to see
