Sorrowseed - Reaping Requiem lyrics

rate me

Part I Violent Fecundity

A gift for humanity

My violent fecundity

The Harvest Time has come to be

I lay the world to rest.

Mortals pleading for release

It's all for the best...

Castigate... the foul flesh of a despotic race

War... feel the blade's embrace

There is no love that remains for this unworthy disgrace.

No... there is no future anymore

You are but husks of what you were before

In my shadow, a procession falls to nevermore.

Grown is the Sorrow Seed

Requiem resounding as they bleed

Mortals pleading for release

The Reaping must proceed...

Suffer... for the transgressions and neglect

A pestilence of voracious insects

The salt in the Earth abjures; you shall never resurrect!

Failures... in the eyes of all creation

Cenobites of a profane invasion

There is no salvation; Humanity has chosen extermination!

Part II: Glamour (the Others)

Illusions once pacified men into reverence

When the Gentry protected the forests

How I miss the voices of the Others

The victims of spiritual severance –

Banality – now doomed to rest.

Once upon a forgotten time...

Men feared to tread in the dark

Their laws meant nothing to the Others

Now, reason is their crime

And they have left their mark.

The Glamour is she'd to reveal

The world's ugliness to be all that is real

I call upon the thorns of the hedge

To join me in mourning and slaughter

By the grace of the Willow's Edge...

Part III: Silent Slaughter (instrumental)

Part IV: Heralds of Ash

So...

Her blades will till the wasteland

(Her) hatred tends the flames

No longer bound by mortal men's will

The stars are ours to reign!

We are the Heralds of Ash

Into blackness let this world be cast.

Annihilation of the weak

To grant them the solace they seek...

The sands of time have fallen

And the Chaos is crawling.

This is all that remains

Fettered roots are my veins – the earth is mine to reign.

Part V: Respite

And so, as the cradle comforts the bones

I stand alone.

This guardian can finally fade away

Know that even as my colors fade to gray

I am filled with respite to share this wedding grave.
