Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The whole sea enfolds us
The scent of the coming winter
Feel the howl of the wind
The salt of the ocean's womb
Far away behind us
Black smoke still rises high
Runners don't deserve a god
Broken under the iron hooves
The iron hooves, the iron hooves
[Verse 2]
The time of slaughter moon
Sunless, starless ways
Sailing to world's end
To meet our crown or doom
The time of slaughter moon
The season of the mist
We're faring in the dark
Sinking into cold night
If you don't die
[Verse 3]
The grim sea enfolds us
The scent of the burning temples
Hear the wail of the waves
A song from the hidden deep
Far away from homely shores
And winter is on our tail
Driven by hunger and greed
Swallowed soon by the great worm
The great worm
[Verse 4]
The time of slaughter moon
Sunless, starless ways
Sailing to world's end
To meet our crown or doom
The time of slaughter moon
The season of the mist
We're faring in the dark
Sinking into cold night
