Ashbreather - Silence Lyrics

It's never enough to bring them the gold and the pearls
You could bring them the moon, and still they would ask for the world
Cause we're born to die, and yet we're dying to live
You tell me that you need more time, but there is none that I have left to give

Caught in the web
Entangled in fears
Under the stars
The spider is near
A shimmer of fangs
The shadows deceive
The lurking of eyes
Illusions are weaved

Kissed by the lips of this crimson night
Guided by the vigil of the candlelight

In darkness they gamble
On a fire of coals
From the worth of a lifetime
To the weight of a soul
To wake from the dream
In a nightmare of thorns
The deafening sounds
Of a thunderous storm

Steps taken forth, into the frail light
Lives torn apart, oh what a grave sight

The serpent slithers beneath the leaves
The wind howls between the trees
The men cry out in tormented pain
But nothing can stop this torrent of rain
Fates tied, an unlucky draw
To be the one who picks the shortest straw
When silence is the only thing thats left unsaid
The last thing they hear is a shot to the head

Dragged to the grave through the smoke and fire
Steel bonds for slaves to bleed beneath the mire
Behold the desperate souls bereft of grief and ire
Their hopes and dreams laid to rest upon a mangled pyre

Silence whispered through my ears
Vanished all my horrors and my fears
I placed my trust in you tonight
We revel in the adversary's spite
Lifted of our burdens and our plights

They see the blazing lights dash across the night
(Silence whispered through my ears)
The flames dancing there before their sullen eyes
(Vanished all my horrors and my fears)
And as they kneel, one by one their spirits rise
(I placed my trust in you tonight)
The gunshots silenced by their screams and wimpered cries
(We revel in the adversary's spite)
