lyrics

Lost like my faith,
The deluded remain,
In the ruins of an abbey,
That stands alone amongst the oakwood

Naked trees tower,
Their hideous forms
And branching thorns
Twisting like serpents.

The swirling mists,
An ethereal fog,
That devours
And consumes
The living whom remain.

Towards the ruin they march,
The majestic, crumbling façade.
These men,
They who cling to that,
That which is dead.

Lost souls,
Searching for meaning,
Clouded by belief.

Shadows in the mists,
Bound by roots,
There is no escape,
From the cavern of roots,
From this oakwood.

In this tainted place,
This grove of death,
Where the gates to an inferno,
The entrance to hell,
Stands waiting.

This wood is no place for man,
The darkest corner of nature.
A place where evil resides.
The men who worship a dead god,
He who has forsaken this world,
This abbey in the oakwood.
