Lyrics A Grain of Truth - Elvenking

A Grain of Truth

A line of blackthorns bordering the side of the way
That horses rode for days
A flock of starlings circling above the ravine
Throughout the damp and haze
A naked branch of old oaks twisted
By the coils of wild vines twirling
A parchment filled with runes
And a deep-blue rose
I’ll find you tonight — feel my desire
A lady dressed in white — blood and fire
The creature won’t die — feel my desire
And in the dead of night — hear the infernal choir
Deep in the woods a rotten castle staring the lands
From hilltop high above
A bloodshot eyed foul creature living a quarantine
Duped by a spell of love
A grain of truth.
It must be hidden
In the legends, in the stories
A final spark of hope
To walk away
I’ll find you tonight — feel my desire
A lady dressed in white — blood and fire
The creature won’t die — feel my desire
And in the dead of night — hear the infernal choir
I’m lost in a nightmare
I will free you from the curse you bear
Blood’s not the answer
Blood’s the reason that I still walk this earth
I’m falling to pieces
My love don’t you dare to despair
The death you’re unfolding
A hex you’ll endure right by my side
For the heinous maleficia of the mind and the flesh
Clad in monstrous guise, ill fated vest never to undress
A gigantic bear like head and tongue that flickers like flame
A monster in a monster’s skin, the true evidence of shame
I’ll find you tonight — feel my desire
A lady dressed in white — blood and fire
The creature won’t die — feel my desire
And in the dead of night — hear the infernal choir
A hex you’ll endure right by my side
