Gormenghast - Scorched Earth

Gormenghast Lyrics

The darkness winds between the ancient stars
That light the sky, the stars are bright
But doomed to die.
And far below the brooding castle lies
The crumbling towers, they too must die
But deep inside...a baby cries.
The infant boy must learn the rules of life
How things must be, too young to see
He holds the key.
But soon the child begins to grow
A Prince to rule. A web of stone
He feels alone...Gormenghast.
And time continues endlessly. The boy becomes a man
He must escape the fate which he began... began.
The nights prolong the days are gone

The darkness is as one
But thro' the shadows Titus see the Sun.
They watch him go, their faces grey
And it was day.
Out he rides towards the world
He's left his past, his steed is fast,
He's free at last... Gormenghast.
