Revenants Lyrics

In depths that pull, Ageless, in the void before time

They come across an aged oak. Now, drawing close
Skinless fingers grip the trunk. The sleeper wakes

Dappled light throws silhouettes on a dilapidated wall
Through scattered leaves, the scent of an unwelcome dawn
Fills the senses, drained of comfort, warmth and hope
And waking stupor, fades too soon

And she's alone again. A spectral form
A tale of loss to tell, Remains untold

When memory finally fades, what of the lost? If their voices cannot be heard, Alone they'll walk

And hunger for release. Gone, but not at peace
The lives that they once lived, Haunt them, still

What kind of cruelty awaits beyond the waking world?
Illumination denied to chosen few
Uncomprehending. Without an ending
Purgatorial wounds never heal

For the whole of immemorial time that slides slowly by
They are hoping, without knowing why they cannot die
