The Ashes of Our Defeat Lyrics

False reverie, veiled in tears. A crown of misery. Indulge in fear! A scnet of bliss and the scorn of god. The blood of treachery. Adorn the thorns. The sword of innocence craves the head, craves the tail. A cloak of emptiness engulfed the stars, swallowed the light. Swallowed the black. We were but gods in the ashes of our defeat. To celebrate in bitterness or swallow your pride. Swallow your tears.

I count the crowns on the headless ones and watch someone else crawl out of my skin.

Our names carved in snow in the shortest of winter. The breath of time, the oceans tide, all dreams shall perish. We were but ghosts in the twilight of the fall. Always in the corner of the eye, always just out of reach. The dead flesh beneath your skin washed away as aeons go by. The breath of time, the deserts tide as all seasons wither.

A we sold our victories for gilded tears and serpent blood. Adorn your thorns.
