The forests were slashed and burned
To fight off the black descending on earth
All the watchfires that glowed
Are now ashes that fall like snow
From the beacons no light
The cities fell into night
And the pall bearers marched
Carrying kings into the endless dark
Mothers tears devoured by the frozen ground
And the war was fought
Stabbing bayonets into the dark
And d**h was relief for the birds and the beasts
Chasing embers of a dying sun
Blood moon
Blood moon
Blood moon
Black doom
Burning no more
Not flicker of light in the dense pitch of the world
The vultures they fly
Hanging heavy in the lifeless sky
The sound of despair is their only guide
The quest to light the flame
The struggle for a reason
Quiet all the screams
Howling at the blood moon
Blood moon
Black doom
The earth no longer breathes
Frozen dead seasons
Remnants of the trees
Digested by the black doom
Black doom
Blood moon
