Reader of the Runes - Book II

Lyrics

[Intro] Awakened by the lark's songs Chilled by the frost of the morning dew "I'll find my way back home" Wrecked in the eye of this tempest Harsh is the way of the aftermath "I'll find my way back home" Strong is the will of the wounded Dense is the fog that reddened these lands "On fields of grief I roamed To find my way back home" [Verse 1] Alongside his black shabby mantle left on the soil The cloak to hide the grin that mangled Are you fulfilled and content About the slaughter of lambs Whose blood has embroidered the firmament of stars? Stars that have blazed in the cosmos forging the Runes occult The Seer of the Old Alphabet On the Stone of the Ritual of Oak the druid stands alone Are you part of the archaic grand design? [Chorus] Turn the time, fold the fortune On the Runes you read the faiths assigned Tune the angst, bewildered and tortured The Runes, ten fates aligned The Runes, ten fates [Verse 2] Once left the tree trunk, house of fates divined, forsaken No crows, no skulls, no cane will ever tell If still in revenge you abide If fierce and at peace is your stride What does your heart whisper in the black of night? Night that has laid down its curtains on a sacrifice of blood Eight lives for one, is that fair at all? Guilt is the sword that you handed Be aware, for such a sword Has a blade but no hilt in sight [Chorus] Turn the time, fold the fortune On the Runes you read the faiths assigned Tune the angst, bewildered and tortured The Runes, ten fates aligned The Runes, ten fates aligned The Runes, ten fates [Verse 3] You began thine incantations Serving forces of the dusk Generated mastery unknown Was it real or just a husk? As the souls were mowed and harvested One by one they were scythed down For the good you once have served Sinful souls cut to the ground One by one eight souls were purged Of the ritual they've been charged Was your power real? Upon a silver seal [Refrain] Awakened by the lark's songs Chilled by the frost of the morning dew "I'll find my way back home" Wrecked in the eye of this tempest Harsh is the way of the aftermath "I'll find my way back home" Strong is the will of the wounded Dense is the fog that reddened these lands "On fields of grief I roamed To find my way back home" [Bridge] I'm the Reader of the Runes I'm searching diamonds in the night All the way across the firmament Where stars paint fates aligned I'm the Reader of the Runes I'm luring gemstones in the light And the wake of all their deeds Will thrive and burn alight [Chorus] Turn the time, fold the fortune On the Runes you read the faiths assigned Tune the angst, bewildered and tortured The Runes, ten fates aligned Turn the time, fold the fortune On the Runes you read the faiths assigned Tune the angst, bewildered and tortured The Runes, ten fates aligned (Turn the time, fold the fortune) (On the Runes you read the faiths assigned) (Tune the angst, bewildered and tortured) (The Runes, ten fates aligned)
