Virgin Steele - Child Of Desolation LYRICS

[ MUSIC AND LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS ]



[KASSANDRA:]

Children forlorn, victims of the Daimon within

Oaths made in Violence, punishment in turn

There is no Light to guide me on my long and painful Road

I wait in Silence, I wait for Death with the last of this Day's Sun...



Broken Wings, Blood freed upon the air

A Trampled Marriage Bed

The Father sees, his Gods cry out, the Flesh spills down

And Judgement Kills the Crime



Gods of the Dead bring me my Life back again

I'm fallin', I'm callin'

Gods of the Dead don't let me die unavenged

I'm fallin', I'm callin'

I won't be here to see them Mourning... Enter the Night...



Emblems of Prophecy, I throw them all away

Drink the Fire of the Pitiless God...

When the Blood of Death has fallen, who can call it back

To the Form that it once held



Gods of the Dead bring me my Life back again

I'm fallin', I'm callin'

Gods of the Dead don't let me die unavenged

I'm fallin', I'm callin'

And the Dead will taste a deeper Treasure than Youth or Life



Bury me beside the Endless Sea, raise my Ashes to the Wind

Remember me when Falls another Life, Quench my Funeral Pyre with Wine ...
