Burning Myrrh

[Verse 1]
Six trees sit beneath six arches
In a glass wrought armory, obsidian
Scavenging for firelight, hobbling
In the ruins of a pillory, crumbling
Heart moved like dead leaves (Dead leaves)
Run raw with intolerance (Intolerance)
Sand bubbling to glass (Glass)
Time spent in aberrance

[Chorus]
Cavern is empty
Doorway is shut
Land is in love
Mingled with grief

[Verse 2]
A billowing cataract on a long polished gem
Joints scream, stone boils from within
A Silmaril clutched underneath permafrost
Machines whir, lonely dig belies the cost
A sigh of vapor rises amongst floral haze
Haunted arches resting soft betwixt their gaze

[Chorus]
Cavern is empty (Cold without meaning)
Doorway is shut (Forever sealed)
Land is in love (Heart moved like dead leaves)
Mingled with grief (Union of aching)

[Outro]
Weeping ghost
Living warmth
Glowing blind
Pit of despair
Weeping ghost
Living warmth
Glowing blind
Pit of despair
