A Vulture's Spell

The wind howls with menace And the earth screams for blood My hands are raised in lonely victory The fires burn, unending rage The fires burn, cleansing the night I'm a sword sworn to those claimed by death Warrior heart fighting for nothing Standing alone, drowning in blood An emptiness profound and unending The names of those lost rest on my tongue Never forgotten, remaining unspoken Listen as the darkness closes in Stand eternal among the fallen Here I - listen - to the - flames An era - ending - where I - stand One day - I'll join - the fallen - ones The night - it claims - us all - now Thunder beckons to my haggard soul A drum beat forever marching onwards For the fallen, for the mighty ones I claw at the sky and cheat death again I'm a sword sworn to those claimed by death Warrior heart fighting for nothing Standing alone, drowning in blood An emptiness profound and unending
