Ethereal Scourge Restoration Lyrics

Restoration Lyrics

the traveller lies fallen battered and bleeding

in pain upon his path

despair his companion

no strength to go forth on his way

death's
hand is knocking

my thirsting throat desires his wine

black shapes
are mocking

they long to desecrate my mind

death's hand is
knocking

my drifting soul his eyes may find

black death is
mocking

he's reaching out his hand for mine



an agonising
scream pleads the quickening of death

but only his echo returns to laugh
at the broken man

and mock his crumpled form

yet he must endure and
emerge from the wastes

for denial will stagnate his soul

his
judgement stained



master i'm dying

pain is bursting through
my head

please hear my crying

don't let me dance among the dead

the violent scourging of christ

the gory ransom paid

scarlet
streamed his holy blood

exalted is his name

spirit of fire restores
my sight

mercy shown through blackest night

alive once more to carry
on

give voice unto the skies

emptiness within me

all i feel is
freezing pain

noxious cold burns my eyes

my weakened heart enshrined
in ice

in helpless fear i cower

pathetic my demise

evil looms
with power

its presence i despise
