Averse Sefira - Sentinel\'s Plight lyrics

rate me

Here on guard at the farthest reaches of our lord's domain<br />

I wait and watch spear in hand in the conquered realms of the old gods<br />

<br />

The sun is beating down<br />

Scorching barren lands<br />

Bringing suffering to life<br />

<br />

The long day wanes hanging low the baleful eye of light<br />

Dusk falls across the land blackening my mood for who am I guarding?<br />

And for what?<br />

<br />

Fiendish desert winds<br />

Whipping up the sands<br />

Tearing at my eyes<br />

<br />

Long has it been since we've heard from home assuring our cause<br />

Is right all that is left to comfort is our final commands:<br />

<br />

"Be vigilant and loyal for our goal is just.<br />

The truth is ours to shape, and the world is our anvil."<br />

<br />

But is it enough?<br />

<br />

Cruel, harsh winds have died<br />

The whipping sands at rest<br />

My eyes no longer torn<br />

The moon drifts behind a cloud the cold is inviting invigorating<br />

Darkness a placid relief from the oppressive sun<br />

<br />

Velvet shroud of night<br />

Blanketing the world<br />

Graven silence reigns<br />

<br />

Here on guard scarred by the wind burnt by the sun<br />

Spear in hand I am left with my thoughts anticipation of the new day brings no relief
