Eluveitie - The Somber Lay lyrics

<b>The Somber Lay</b> by <i>Eluveitie</i><br />

A murky presage roaming the land

To silence the skylarks chant

The somber kiss is at hand

To impart the crimson robe

Heed the darksome maid

Dancing across this equinox

To relegate persistence

As the bleak darkness grows

A cryptal impellent, devoted to the sublime round

Beholden for the boons of light

Retreating into quietness

We harken the somber lay

We sing the somber lay

Close your eyes and heed and vide

Then you shall see

The sphere revolves as it's promised

Flames flickering deftly

To banish the nipping air

The dark time is at hand

Lighted by bardic chant

Heed the darksome maid

To enwrap all in bleakness

A dark veil o'silence

As quiet insight buds

Darkness roaming the land

Long dead the skylarks chant

The dark vis usurped command

To impart the sallow robe

Sure a new light will come

The lifewheel is rotating onward

Given is the promise

Thus assertive we wear on

Life-given impellent, devoted to the sublime round
