Thus Defiled - On Ravenwings I Fly

Copied!

To walk from shadow to darkness, eternally...
Images cast against the dying light
Await the storm burning in the dead of night
Shadows fall across the freezing waters
Thunder heralds the approach of Ithaqua

Night's beauty embrace the land
Dreams of times past and to come
Entwined in thorns of frozen memory
Beyond the shores and flames to the nightsky

'Neath the waves the statues call
Endless in their sombre vigil
Walk with me into lands unknown
Step beyond the veil of dreams

I am he that rides on the freezing winds
I am he that calls in the dead of night
I shall stalk this land forever
With the night my only bride
Enter the flames for all eternity
For the light shall fade and die

Lord of the midnight realms
On ravenwings I fly
