Clothed in Smoke
Lyrics
Within the jaws of earthly toil
Among the dust of ashen soil
She fell from empyrean halls
And sculpted nature's walls
Into the blackness of night
Our fires burn with purified light
This house of pine we set ablaze
Her innocent soul to save
Red embers glowing bright along the cliffs
Blazing through my hallowed trees
Groaning wood cracks and rifts
Consumed by the human disease
Her spirit severed from its home
Forsaken by those she once nursed
Into my lands her path did roam
The only one who broke my curse
Piercing through the dismal gloom
We march into the earth's womb
Upon broken branch and lifeless rock
Fire guides us on the trail we walk
To the lair of beast and shade
To the place where good men stray
Where all that slithers and crawls
Dwell in their darkened halls
Now comes ruin, now comes wrath
Tempered amid your righteous flame
Senseless death marks your path
All so bards shall sing your name
Trample the flower you came to save
Consumed by your blameless hate
Burnt pines shall mark her grave
And the night mankind sealed its fate
The blood dimmed tide cascading down
Floods the hill and drowns the blaze
What hellish beast strides towards our town
Exhausting all life in its wake
