Stealer of Souls Lyrics

"Why live so deep in the oaks? High upon this hill?"

"We prefer reclusion" she said, collecting mugs to fill

"Tea anyone?" We agreed. Drummer said no

"Its good to have company". And off to the kitchen she goes

"We often see people, but they rarely sit and visit

There is seldom interest in the lives of simple hermits"

"We believe there's a method that has brought us to here

yet the reason we are, is yet to become clear"

"And we suspect you're also here by of this drive

There's been a sense of purpose since the moment we arrived"

"I'm here on top this hill, because I'm afraid of the sea

I once sailed the world, but it now brings pain to me"

"High atop this mountain, hiding from my past

A soulless cast-off pirate cursed in her wrath

Hollow, searching, aching to become whole

The only escape was to steal a clean soul"

There is a sad candle on the table

Melting heavy to one side

Sinking into it's tears

Flame flickering as they dry

Like it is struggling to stay lit

But begging for it's demise

To put out of it's misery

Before drowning in it's own cries

"Now I stand before you with new soul intact

Stolen in the abyss from a sailor years back

Who will surely swindle another victim and then

Return to shore to hunt me down in revenge

So I hide from my victim and the monstress of the deep

That dark goddess waits below for another soul to reap

I believe I am the safest here, as high as I can be

For I dare not walk down and be cast back to sea"

"You're the original pirate, the stealer of souls

and you lack the ability to hear the ethos

It appears it's against you, revealing your tracks

Guiding the vengeful sailor to steal his soul back"

"We met him on this hill, your assassin is near

He will surely find you, you're not safe here"

The hermit was concerned, but he didn't seem surprised

"Thank you for your offer, but I'm afraid this is goodbye

I feel I am the safest the higher I go

Far away from darkness calling me from below

I could leave with you to avoid my avenger

But if I try to leave now, I'll be in more danger

But as you continue take this advice

Stay away from the darkness. Stay in the light"

He reaches to the candle and pinches the flame lifeless

A gasp of smoke releases our souls into the darkness
