Lyrics Cloaked in Ruin - Wode

Cloaked in Ruin

Behold the serpent of death
The vicious paths it weaves
And coils around this world
Trapped, ensnared
Forever
Cloaked in ruin
Grown lean and bitter
Some said mad
A malign star kept him
Feral, unguarded
Cast to the wind and dust
He seeks deliverance
From this temple of rust
Hear the herald call
Closed gate
Opened at god’s command
Pale colours of the afterlife
Which only the dead may see
Closed gate of paradise
Stands before me
I realise my self-deception now
Waiting for the serpent to tempt me
Last words are only words
And even they will fail me
A malign star
Buried deep
In the heart of all things
When the death of all things comes
The sky shall open
And no god will weep for you
His golden tomb
Broken
