The Blackening Tide Lyrics

Here we stand on black waters' edge
Dark seas that endlessly stretch
Here we stand, my dark lady and I
A formless shadow we must defy

Ferryman:
"Dangerous paths lie ahead
Through waters black and cold
Domain of ancient beasts
And vast horrors untold"

As we cast off and left safety behind
The fiery skies turned dark
We felt the cold embrace of evil
Heavy on our hearts

Obsidian rocks from the water rose
Black pillars of death moving as though alive

Forge on!
Through death's jaws we ride
Sail on!
Borne on a blackening tide

Ferryman:
"You have not yet seen the worst
Brace yourselves for attack
From a host of the accursed
Now there is no turning back"

And as if out of nowhere
Deformed creatures attacked
Evil fiends of the underworld
Grasping at our very throats


And so we sailed on through that deadly tide
Once more in the mortal world we shall ride

The crew of this ancient vessel
Fought hard to stave off assault
Many were they pulled overboard
Unwillingly sacrificed to the depths

But the deadly creatures withdrew
The darkened skies opened up
In one last attempt to thwart our journey
As lightning all around us struck

My lady unwavering at the bow
Strong in her determination
An island in the distance rose
We were at our journey's end

[Solo: Jensen]

Forge on!
Through death's jaws we ride
Sail on!
Borne on a blackening tide
