I
t's a terrific fog

A shade of ebony
Few have seen and lived to repeat
A cosmic wave of new-old fear
Covering them from head to feet

Silence
Trapped in it's chilly spell
They're waiting
Silence
Trembling hearts echoing a tolling bell
They're praying to nothing
Almighty shepherd is this our hell?
Silence
Gothic wings
There are monsters rising from a dell

Feverish anticipation
Fire waking in the belly of unhallowed ground
The wicked nations have found
No salvation
In this most ancient sound
A drumming that has defied
Time space and so many lies
From the distant distant past
From a universal beginning
The story
The Tree
The rule of Three
And
The greatest destiny
Inscribed and prophesied
A father and a son will fly 
Gothic wings
Taking to judgment skies

Vicious thunder
In fleeing ears
Flames and raging wind
The beating of vengeful
Gothic wings
Another planet screams and dies
Everything dies
Everything earthly dies
Rampaging
Gothic wings
We're dragons
Black dragons
Painting their new sunrise

Gothic wings
