Abigail Williams: Legend Lyrics

Gaze to the darkened skies
This will be my last night
Trapped in this mortal shell
And as the body decays
The flesh becomes one with the earth from which it came
And as I open my eyes illuminated I wake...
At the gates of the abyss my blood ran cold
Hearkening to the death but before I take to the ground
Unburden my soul relinquish my heart...
The grace is no bar to my call...
These blossoms beloved won't last forever
I'm afraid my last breath stands frozen
And if I shan't see you again as shares of the evening drew on beyond our depths

This place holds within its walls a profane legacy
It's sickening my soul
A monument to darker ages
Behold two thousand years we burn the memory
Twas such a beautiful site
The flames wrought tears from my eyes
To the beating of my dreadful heart
Peering into the dark to the dungeons of her hope
Thine is this portion of my flesh
Will you wreak your sorrow on me forevermore?
On this sombre starless night
You've wandered from the safety of thy mighty shores
From the cold tombs heart the spectre
Washes away we overturn the graves of gods who told lies
Feed as if time has fallen deathly still
My passions my sorrows mere memories of a life past
But I've come too far to just walk away from my empire
The ashes from the fire still litter the earth
In my wake an infinite sadness towards finite endings
Blessings from below the curses to the above

Burning glances
Nocturnal devotions awaken the dreaming
Dead bereft of vengeance
And in the horizon wraith of a messianic failure
False visions moons waning pantheon of absidian seraphim

Wringing my hands drowns your blessing
A monument to heavens
A silhouette of the tired

Is death the only doorway?
Or just an infinite ending
Questions and contradictions
Your sewn mouth secrets
I've had all I can stomach

My apathy has blinded me
Casting my failures to the wind
And still death waits above
And below me
On the wane this intention lies
Broken shadows

Wringing my hands
Drowns your blessing
And so it rained fire
In light of my reason
What have I done to deserve this?
And so we wept...
And so we wept...
And so we wept...

"In each watchtower as the body of flesh lives so the body of light lives"

"Like blue mantles beneath the stars this night will last forever"
