La Mer - Cometh the Hour Lyrics

Cometh the hour
Tangled in flame
Thy son's blood is spilled
To shatter thy name
Oh cruel, wrathful ghost
That bathes in his cries
The lower you fall
The higher we rise
In thy halls where life will die
None there to be found
Place absent of light
Place absent of sound
And all is fulfilled
As was prophesized
The lower you fall
The higher we rise
Life born in the void
Unspoiled by disease
Unleashed upon the flock
Brought down to its knees
To shatter, cast shadow
Like wolves on the path of the lamb
Cast shadow
Like wolves on the path of the lamb
I was there in the beginning
I will be there in the end
You were cast here from my womb
You will die now by my hand
You'll shatter in the shadow
I will do what it takes
You'll shatter in the shadow
I'll burn down this nest of snakes
We are the great earthly gods
Floating in blood and piss
Kings and conquerors
Married to their own mortality
