As Oceans - Artaosis Pt I: The Black Bird текст песни

Countless moons have come and gone
Since you left the shores in the distance
With the apathy of war tainting your soul.
Since you’ve left I’ve been watching the oceans veins pulse,
Standing on forsaken stone pleading the sky for return,
But the clouds never give mercy, only rain.
One day brought a Raven
Talons clutching a page
Your lies signed in ink, the scrawling betrays.
No noble fight you’ve fought for freedom
No noble search you’ve taken for peace.
But innocent blood and a traitor’s nest.
You left here to war, to starve the monster
But you fed yourself to her instead.
I felt my blood turn to water,
Poisoned by your treason.
The raven whispers, soothing, pleading
«Fly with me — follow the fog,»
Then turns to black mist and disappears into the wood.
Into the wilderness, I follow the trace of the black bird’s ghost.
Sorrow turns to hate.
I follow the face of revenge.
The purity of the blackness
breathes into me the life you stole.
The purity of blackness…
The life you stole.
For darkness knows my worth.
Rage will never lie.
I run deeper into the forest
Burning the thought of forgiveness with the bloodiest light
