Lyrics

We've broken our promise
Buried again in haste
One more relic of our past
That we once rejoiced to
Reap from our hills
Watch horrified as our branches die
Twisting in inhuman shapes
Brittle and breaking, they turn to dust in hand
No men fertile are they I've found
Who tend to the oaks, the ashes and thorns
Their seeds left withered and dry
Borne away
From your velvet embrace
Unto darkness and decay
(Neither legend nor destined
To live in the hearts of men)
It was but yesteryear
Solar brilliance seared our hearts
As crested its course over
Green hollows' grace
Feel of the soil
Bury your hands
Spit your curse on
The idols foul
The age of our youth has passed
Such as ne'er to come again
Borne away
From your velvet embrace
Unto darkness and decay
(Neither legend nor destined
To live in the hearts of men)
Dying days
Though your lights grow e'er more dim
Light the path unto my grave
Look you upon the remnants past
Those same as we once loved
They're brittle now, and crumble to touch
And scatter like ash in the wind
Feel of the soil
Bury your hands
Spit your curse on
The idols foul
If given the chance
To return to the eve
Of your retreat
I'd never look back
The age of our youth has passed
Such as ne'er to come again
So turn your face to the mirror
Remember: this is ours to shoulder now
This is the sound
Of our culture dying
Borne away
From your velvet embrace
Unto darkness and decay
(Neither legend nor destined
To live in the hearts of men)
Dying days
Though your lights grow e'er more dim
Light the path unto my grave
(Abandoned
Forgotten)
Unto our graves
