Before The Dawn

Deadsong

The container of my soul

was severed from my shell

At birth I was stigmatized

by fires of hell

This hollow space inside

is growing still

It's going for the kill

Beneath the blood red sky

the song was born

The sky was bleeding

when I sang her the deadsong



By my burning cradle

The lullaby of death

was sung by dark angels

The daughters of flame



She slept under my wing

A cold embrace

Death's loyal servant

now filled with pain

Forever haunted

by her angelic face



Chorus



These chains

Hold me down

Down on this frozen ground

in this world

where death walks the earth

The sign of reaper

given in birth
