Eluveitie - 'Exile of the Gods' (official lyric video)

"Nothing will be left but graven words and only the stones will tell of thy piety" (quote off an ancient prophecy, found in the hermetic scriptures)

I‘m waking
in this wasteland
forsaken
and outcast

the shame is damning
the guilt‘s crushing
and darkness
has fallen

what have we done?
our hands stained
with their blood
injustice
has befallen

we have become like dead leaves shed
like empty shells cast away
like dying embers
forlorn and forsaken, forsaken

dead leaves shed like empty shells cast away
like dying embers
orphaned and widowed

and leaden the distress
of the knowledge of evil

the scales fell and left nothing
than black tears of lostness
the blood on our hands witnesses
sheer desolation has befallen

repent
return
recure
restore
