They Have Always Known Lyrics


With the air I breathe

Comes the life I leave

With the morning fire

Comes the last I see

With the rocks so old

It's the world I've known

As it crumbles down

And it all grows cold

I can hear them call

From beyond their walls

And their voices break

From the weight they haul

They have seen all time

Of this humankind

And they know this fate

Before their eyes

All you see in this darkened world

This fallen soul you have always known

From the dark

World torn apart

Back from the grave

The end of days

All you see in this darkened world

This fallen soul you have always known

Rising from the dirt

The shadows now glow

Spectres, wraiths of doom

They focus their eyes on me

As ghosts they swarm

And cover me

The heavy chains have become free

I see my hands

For now they glow

The light inside has grown

As ghosts they stare

So wickedly

The very chains, still bind to me

I see my flesh

Ripped from my bones

They have always known
