THORNS OF THE CARRION LYRICS

1. The Story Of The Leaves

[Music by Allen Scott, Marquis Thomas and TOTC, lyrics by Allen Scott]

The silent queen, of night she knows me, with ivory tears
For with stars, of silver mask, she grins...
For with scars, of black soul tears, she cries...
Her lips so soft yet red
They kiss away...
The weary days, the storied pain
The autumn leaves, the sorrow
For with heart, and velvet hands, she takes...
For with winds, of shadow leaves that dance, the story...

She knows the silence of my life
The tragic years, the wasted times
The funeral veil, the broken trust
A vain glimpse of sunrise
For her eyes of opaque lie blood
Her hands to bleed her earth red once more

For she lives the forgotten pain
That in life I had well known

She knows the story of my life
She knows the pain, she heard the cry
The shattered dreams, the broken husk
A life so weary of riot
For the path revelled out comes home
In glaring rays of grey death to triumph

No more shall I forgive
I am alone forever more
My life, my days, are now gone
To fade, far away, into nothing...
