Vile Crone - As the Fire Fades Lyrics

Decaying sunlight pierces my eyes
As shadow engulfs this dying world
Amber flame retreats from blackened sky's
Consumed by ravenous void

The flame wilts, a dwindling spark
By the light of a dying star
Souls depart, into viscous dark
Cold winds gnaw at the horizon
As the fire fades

Hollow dead rot upon the earth
Cold eyes fixed on the dying light
Vacant witnesses to annihilation birth
Drowned in blackened tides

Humanity lost to the burning mark
Forgotten realms of man crumble to dust
Souls depart into viscous dark
Frost creeps in from the horizon
As the fire fades

Lay still upon the soil
Times at an end
Calm you weary mind
As eternal night descends
All the light has left
Your suffering is done
Now close your eyes
As darkness swallows the sun

And I still recall the taste of ash
Upon my heathen tongue
All that was, decayed
As the fire fades

Embers turn cold, black and dull
As glowing cinders litter the biting winds
Souls depart into viscous dark
Nightmares seep in from the horizon
As the fire fades
