The Passing of Guilt and Grief Lyrics


The kiss of Autumn upon thy skin

The night was thick with moon's pale grin

They summon me from depths below

My name was called by blackened shadow

Theses gallows are my home

And now I'm left with the crows to eat my very flesh

The candles burning wax

From green lit flame

The voices in the back

Get louder day by day

Oh, I hope that they behave

Conjuring spirits in such dismay

The lightning spells out my name

They keep crawling back

From ancient graves

The lightning spells out my name

They keep crawling back

From their ancient graves

The ground began to crack

Tonight the wolves will howl again

It's coming from somewhere in the black

The night engulfed and set aflame

They cracked the sky wide open

The giant eye piercing my shame

The lightning spells out my name

They keep crawling back

From their ancient graves

I promise this is gonna hurt

Lay you down gently in the dirt

This is the passing of guilt and grief

It wasn't supposed to be this way

Ceremonial dagger

Pierce this beating heart

May the suffering be worthy

Of the sacred art
