Vale of Tears Lyrics

The assembler of souls absorbs all within his reach
His seemingly perpetual glance of doom
Would even make the smallest of serenities breach
As he rides he wind being the ghost of gloomRunning darkness all around
A knife in her handFall, rising, screaming the name of her belovedSo weak, and so weary
Something blackening her thoughts
A cloud, a force, a weightFinding her true love lying in red
Is this reality or just a vision in her headTo be the knife as well as the wound
Is all that concerns herOverwhelmed by a burden, like hordes of fear
The obscurity of the vale of tears
Grasping for safety, which lies all so near
Incresent malice of the vale of tearsWandering oblivious in the foggy twilight
Shades of an obelisk shines so bright
Incredulous thoughts, bewildering her mind
Is there really a god to findHalting through the darkest of forests
The obese and extraneous at her tail
This haunting, lingering to the extreme
She is about to quailThen a formless mass of black, went skyward

Stars began to fade behind a veil of dark blue velvet
She stopped, she listened, nothing
Silence, an eternity passedThe silhouettes of something unseen, a presence
