Ballads of death In killing fields A new age of fear A life of kings Forgotten ones Concealed in shadows The piercing wails Of human flesh
Wraiths ...suspended time and fate Fate ...comes knocking at the door Wraiths ...foretell the tyrant's tale Wraiths ...will sing their glorious songs
Carved for eternity A name in gold Seek immortality In every breath Yet justice prevails And in the throes of death Vengeance is vile Open the gates of hell
Wraiths ...standing the test of time Time ...will only wait so long Wraiths ...foretell the tyrant's fate Wraiths ...returned to hallowed ground
Columns of rising smoke Written in wreaths of lies In unmarked tombs of pain Silence screams
Unspoken words of valour Grow louder through the years Though falling on deaf ears Are carried by the winds
Relics of sin Steal the night away Lurking in sleep Phantom daffodils
Castles of sand in changing tides Fall to the scorn of accusing waves One by one refusing pleas Digress triumphantly into the seas
As tyrants slowly drown in sacrificial waters Awaiting wraiths of fabled lore find their peace
Fall back into the mists of fading endless battles Remembrance following their stoic, solid stride
Wraiths ...standing the test of time Wraiths ...recall the tyrant's fate Wraiths ...returned to hallowed ground Wraiths ...sing their glory
Ballads of death In killing fields A new age of fear
