The Absence of Light Lyrics

Stumbling

Through a land shrouded in mystery

Vile blackness spun from spurs of glacial nights

I push past the waters that have festered here

Bathed in blighted sunless light

So build a castle or a coffin

You'll rest the same each way

Hellish cry of a black dominion

Waiting its fateful day

The being which we herald will move the sun

To rise on

The age of Iron Hatred

You might hear the most terrible sounds

In the Absence of Light

Through blackened eons we sing

And forge the bindings to bring

The songs of the ancient powers

The waking of Elders

Lost in the land of shadows

(Breaking their slumbers)

Falling through the dire barrows

The ground begins to break

Exposing a new way out

Lost deep in shadows that time forgot

Wandering where the sun cannot

Through the uncounted black eons we sing

In these godless voices the songs that will bring

The binding of Elders, the rending of worlds

With dark winds in the sails of Theseus unfurled

We have survived countless centuries in mire

Holding our torch and feeding the power

No more hiding from the light

Through blackened eons we sing

And forge the bindings to bring

The songs of the ancient powers

The waking of Elders

Lost in the land of shadows

(Breaking their slumbers)

Falling through the dire barrows

The ground begins to break

Exposing a new way out

The dire barrows have me stumbling

Through a land shrouded in mystery

Vile blackness spun from spurs of glacial nights

I push past the waters that have festered here

Bathed in blighted sunless light
