lyrics

The changing colors of the leaves
Awakens something deep in me
(I linger slowly until footsteps snap me out from my sweet daydream)
The winds that blow to cloak my form
They chill my body ‘til I’m warm
(The sight of the undead awakens magic streams)
How I miss you in the autumn
I miss you every day
How it hurts to feel the forgotten
Who only long to stay
The sword that cuts through flesh and marrow
That cuts through everything
To divide the ghosts from soul
To save all the mortal
The one who strikes me like an arrow
Pierces my heart
Yet alone I steadfast fight
Alone I spend each night
Bodies cover the snow
It seems this time there are thousands
Calmly yet determined I follow
To protect my family, the mountains
How I miss you in the winter
I miss you every night
As the body begins to wither
I pray they let me die
If I should
Perish parrying armies
Would you still remember me?
I think of the nights in the mammoth tree
It keeps my soul at ease
I fought for peace for all here on the peak
But with you gone there’s none for me
I have failed my most precious task, my charge
The goddess still lives, my scourge
The time has passed for remorse
For the one who’s taken you, my beauty
Who took my everything
Mercilessly I slaughter
A gorgeous massacre
She eyes me smiling, and lunges
An action I return
And as we clash, a flash of blood
Is that you, my love?
