The Dead Hand - Reborn of Dead Light Lyrics

With eyes sewn shut
She stalks them down
Cuts out their tongues
To adorn her crown
With ears pressed near
The lips of the dead
Two golden coins
For the ferrymen

Feast on flesh and bone of the ageless
Confined the damned to cages
Secrets stolen from lost souls
Bodies are but bellows

Vengeance to fill the hollows
Ashes kindled the fragile
Futures told by the entrails
Vultures circle entails
Fetid corpses in her wake

Devotion lies to the fallen
Lingering and forgotten
Prayers to the living goddess
Who no longer sings
Shallow graves under foot
Search for memories in the soot
Carrion exposes mortal names
Of the gods who betrayed
Cross the seas of burning sand
Past the remnants of dark lands
To the forests where she first breathed
Life to the spring

Torn off
Divine loss
Unfettered
She throws off

Chaos gods and dark magick
Victims fed on the tragic
Festering wounds left untended
Breed vengeful ghosts unending

Torn off
Divine loss
Unfettered
She throws off
Her mantle
Of verdance
For the circlet
Of bones
