The Man-Eating Tree - The Ritual

There behind this
Behind the pale, disillusioned mask
Repeating the never-ending why
So frail but still
It's the memory of you, buried
Deep in here where night devours it all

Towards the dying sun
Towards the dying sun we crawl

My weak heart's unable to save you now
These phrases of despair
Will not bring you back here
The cold, unforgiving farewell

Inhaled the grief
And the darkness swarmed into me
Consuming until I could not breathe
Cut the vein
All the way right into the bone
And for good, the night devoured it all

My weak heart's unable to save you now
These phrases of despair
Will not bring you back here
The cold, unforgiving farewell

How long until the ritual's over
And colossal plight and darkness will give in
How long until the residue in death is a beautiful song
And we are one

Dead
The light of all light is dead
And with every breath
Chaos prevails
The light of all light is dead
And with every breath
Hope fades away

Towards the dying sun
Towards the dying sun we crawl

My weak heart's unable to save you now
These phrases of despair
Will not bring you back here
The cold, unforgiving farewell
And we are one
And we are one
