Lyrics for Blackmurmur

Into pools of obsidian I gazed Beneath towering skies I dove into the blackness, felt no cold As if the water melded with the skin There's a certain comfort in these thoughts Ignoring them only makes it absolute There's a certain warmth in these words The voices from which I cannot escape beckons me Drown them all in the waters Drown them all I stand here, by the cairn of my ancestors Pillars of black light A tenebrific world of vitriol I am surrounded by all the fires of the earth If these words are not sacred You hold the fear of God in your arms A choir of murmurs Unspoken psalms If these wounds are not healing You hold the truth within your heart Bury me, I said bury me While the fires keep you warm Bury me, oh please bury me Where the twilight meet the stars Marching has ended You hold the blood of guilt On your tongue, a song of madness If these voices are quiet Bury me, oh God bury me There's a void inside my heart A single strand connects us With the undying light Weaving a giant tapestry, a bane of hearts Leading to the map A map to our tomb Drown them all in the blackness Drown them all in the waters You were meant to save the light Not perish with the rest of them Burn the last of the traitors The terrified shall reign or drown Drown them all in the blackness Drown them all in the waters Drag them down to the bottom Where dreams and night collide When the world has faded You will hold the light of gods
