Erebus and Terror Lyrics


Close your eyes

Let the cold take your life

Close your eyes

No power to continue

Don't you move

We can be as one

And I will be your air

When you are frozen in despair

Child, consider your ways

And I will be your air

And I will be your air

With trepidation

We moved across the sea

Erebus and Terror

Chariots of infamy

In fervent turmoil

The ocean closed in

The waters hardened

Ill became the wind

And as we lay down our frail men

These words echo eternal

Thus saith the lord of hosts

Consider your ways

Our lungs were burning

Our limbs were atrophied

Minds sick with fever

Bodies shocked with disease

The lead weight of sorrow

Crushed all trace of sanity

Creatures we became

Lost of human dignity

Beneath the lurid spell

Of the arctic night time sky

Monsters we became

As humanity slipped away

Our dead remained unburied

Their flesh was consumed

Naught but bones remained

And we were transformed

From such sickening horror

No man could return

As though lycans we changed

Men warped forever

In the wake of a winter moon

Envy for the three

We planted early

Safe in stasis

In permafrost tombs

Eternal sleep

But with eyes opened wide

By icy digits

To find oneself

Shrouded in darkness

Envious of Hartnell

Torrington and Braine

For they escaped with their souls

In death, in stasis

Frozen, entombed

Oh, how we have longed

For the fires that await us

In the pits of some eternal damnation

Oh, how we have longed

To be released from this burden

Bound to this isle of endless cold

Yet I could swear

That the moon sings so sweetly

Songs of men

Not so tied by humanity

The words of our lord have fallen silent

As we have turned our backs

And retreated into darkness
