Awake at Time's End - Huntsmen

Terrified of all my thoughts, jackal eyes in crushing dark

Phantoms ride the howling wind trying to snuff the fire out

Burn the witching hour with me, sing of timeless suffering

To keep the sky from closing in, to keep the hills from swallowing

Rouse the dreamer from her sleep to walk the lonely dunes with me

Sand to count until we die, stars to map a nameless sea

When you first came I dreamed of snow, though I’d never seen it before

A clear bell sounded in my soul, an echoing of what we were

With war a long lost memory, a past sunk deep in distant grief

War a future far removed, snowfall on the jagged peaks

War is riding on the wind, war will soon be swallowing

War will snuff the fire out, wed us to the earth again

God, demon, or only a man?

Try, fail to kill me again

Bled, eaten, reborn of the sand

Try, fail to kill me again

Hell, Eden, awake at time’s end

Try, fail to kill me again

Crawl, scrape, blister and beg

Try, fail to kill me again

Burn out the heart!

From ash grows life

Bring down the stars!

The seed survives

Drown her in sand!

The sand provides

Rip off her wings!

The swallow’s flight
