Filth to Filth

The corridor extended as far as the eye
Can wander in distance
And footsteps carry shadows long
That of cloak and limb
Like echoes in silence
Hind silhouettes under hoods grim
'ware the eyes who like gems seem to shine
Avaunt the lights of dawn
In a dusk of a thousand years
Past holy saints, from stained glass
Compelled to each choir window
Past baptismal fire flicker
That twitch hind their halo

(chorus)
They who marched to reckoning
They who drank from Lake of Souls
They who holler backward prayers
Sealed in realm from grimoire scrolls
They who marched to reckoning
They who drank from Lake of Souls
They who holler backward prayers
Ashes to Ashes, Filth to Filth
Demons evicted from living souls
Sworn an oath within these walls
Back and forth this cage they roam
Worthy of its darkness were

(chorus)
