Burning Myrrh

[Verse 1]

Six trees sit beneath six arches

In a glass wrought armory, obsidian

Scavenging for firelight, hobbling

In the ruins of a pillory, crumbling

Heart moved like dead leaves (Dead leaves)

Run raw with intolerance (Intolerance)

Sand bubbling to glass (Glass)

Time spent in aberrance

[Chorus]

Cavern is empty

Doorway is shut

Land is in love

Mingled with grief

[Verse 2]

A billowing cataract on a long polished gem

Joints scream, stone boils from within

A Silmaril clutched underneath permafrost

Machines whir, lonely dig belies the cost

A sigh of vapor rises amongst floral haze

Haunted arches resting soft betwixt their gaze

[Chorus]

Cavern is empty (Cold without meaning)

Doorway is shut (Forever sealed)

Land is in love (Heart moved like dead leaves)

Mingled with grief (Union of aching)

[Outro]

Weeping ghost

Living warmth

Glowing blind

Pit of despair

Weeping ghost

Living warmth

Glowing blind

Pit of despair
