Rope Of Regret

Cold heart hammering hard - no sanctuary to find
Death stands firm and tall - bell cracks its iron spine
The hunter and the hunted
Closing in, poised to sting - ring of fear
Circle of pounding death
Counting ribs, weighing blood - searching the sky

Solemn black manner
Blood-drenched banned whips in the jagged wind
Sour milk, blackened flesh
Deciduus forest - devoid of life
Burning hate - flaming sword
Repeatedly severing the heads of the hydra
Stalemate - corrosion
Stillborn resistance - unquenchable thirst

Now see the rope of regret
Around the partisan neck
Dead eyes glowing cold
No sanctuary to find
Breathing damp and mould
Through hell with a firm smile
Hunting high and low
Sowing seeds of blood, deep into the folk soul
Bonfires burning bright
Kingdom come! Kingdom gone - praised be the flame

Buzzard feathers swirl
Ruthless night and fog merging together
Murky waters flow
Sulphurous skies, sulphurous cries - funeral daze
New-sprung world of blades
Apocalyptic raids throughout the nations
Black breath, hand of death
Iron wills - blood red hills; swwet and decay
Now see the rope of regret - around the partisan neck
Now see the rope of regret - around the partisan neck
