Where Once Was Green... Lyrics by Torkage

We Are but Ankle Deep Yet​.​.​.

2023

[Verse 1]
Come one, come all, to assemble and to grieve
The rusting and decaying of the temple
Where once was green, now does poison flow
And a great and terrible churning can be heard
Below
[Verse 2]
The bones of ancient dragons, unearthed in desecration
Drive me onwards to my final destination
We blot out the twilight sky with our false light
For we fear the gods that howl in fury and might
In the night
They hunger
[Verse 3]
For we are one with the moon and with the earth
To live and die eternal before the serpent
Until the day its scything tail coils free into the world
Ouroboros
Breathe free and devour all
[Verse 4]
And so do we pass from green to black
From life to death, there is no way back
For the fires of Chaos will scorch this rusted world
Left stricken, barren, and lifeless by our pride
[Verse 5]
Today we feast, tonight we sleep
Placing the child upon the altar
With the blade in hand, our eyes are wide open
[Outro]
We choose to kill the light
