Burning Myrrh

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Six trees sit beneath six arches In a glass wrought armory, obsidian Scavenging for firelight, hobbling In the ruins of a pillory, crumbling Heart moved like dead leaves (Dead leaves) Run raw with intolerance (Intolerance) Sand bubbling to glass (Glass) Time spent in aberrance [Chorus] Cavern is empty Doorway is shut Land is in love Mingled with grief [Verse 2] A billowing cataract on a long polished gem Joints scream, stone boils from within A Silmaril clutched underneath permafrost Machines whir, lonely dig belies the cost A sigh of vapor rises amongst floral haze Haunted arches resting soft betwixt their gaze [Chorus] Cavern is empty (Cold without meaning) Doorway is shut (Forever sealed) Land is in love (Heart moved like dead leaves) Mingled with grief (Union of aching) [Outro] Weeping ghost Living warmth Glowing blind Pit of despair Weeping ghost Living warmth Glowing blind Pit of despair
