Sorrowseed - Reaping Requiem lyrics

Part I Violent Fecundity A gift for humanity My violent fecundity The Harvest Time has come to be I lay the world to rest. Mortals pleading for release It's all for the best... Castigate... the foul flesh of a despotic race War... feel the blade's embrace There is no love that remains for this unworthy disgrace. No... there is no future anymore You are but husks of what you were before In my shadow, a procession falls to nevermore. Grown is the Sorrow Seed Requiem resounding as they bleed Mortals pleading for release The Reaping must proceed... Suffer... for the transgressions and neglect A pestilence of voracious insects The salt in the Earth abjures; you shall never resurrect! Failures... in the eyes of all creation Cenobites of a profane invasion There is no salvation; Humanity has chosen extermination! Part II: Glamour (the Others) Illusions once pacified men into reverence When the Gentry protected the forests How I miss the voices of the Others The victims of spiritual severance - Ban*lity - now doomed to rest. Once upon a forgotten time... Men feared to tread in the dark Their laws meant nothing to the Others Now, reason is their crime And they have left their mark. The Glamour is shed to reveal The world's ugliness to be all that is real I call upon the thorns of the hedge To join me in mourning and slaughter By the grace of the Willow's Edge... Part III: Silent Slaughter (instrumental) Part IV: Heralds of Ash So... Her blades will till the wasteland (Her) hatred tends the flames No longer bound by mortal men's will The stars are ours to reign! We are the Heralds of Ash Into blackness let this world be cast. Annihilation of the weak To grant them the solace they seek... The sands of time have fallen And the Chaos is crawling. This is all that remains Fettered roots are my veins - the earth is mine to reign. Part V: Respite And so, as the cradle comforts the bones I stand alone. This guardian can finally fade away Know that even as my colors fade to gray I am filled with respite to share this wedding grave.
