Harrowhark Lyrics

Lyctors behind me

Lyctors beside me

Mithraeum's rings are shackles within me

Lyctors above me

Lyctors below me

Please stop the lyctor who's growing inside me

No real friends

But the skeleton inside me

Skeletons beside me

Marrow ahead of me

Cavalier mislaid and

Memories astray and

Blood red waters

Crash in to meet me

I have to forget it

I have to conceal it

I have to destroy it

Everything that happened to me that day

All my comrades dead in a thanergy bloom

Living in fear

That my God won't protect me

From beasts who leak hatred

And loathing and lunacy

Is this how it happens

I have to unmake it

I have to replace it

I can't let her die

I pray the tomb is shut forever

I pray the rock is never rolled away

Is this how it happened

The clock

Is ticking

The beasts

Are stalking

The heralds

Are swarming

My lyctorhood

Is failing

I speak the Eightfold Word

I wield your sword

Yet you won't fight for me

My necromancy shatters planets

But without you I can never put my self back together

Time is running out

Corpses surround me

And seek to devour me

But here's where I make my last stand

No fear left in me

My friends are all deceased

My ally is poetry

I remember now

No fear left in me

My friends are all deceased

And this isn't how it happens

From shoreline to shoreline

This blood is choking me

From station to station

Revenants are all I see

From stoma to stoma

They follow your every decree

And she knows my perfect secret

She never has to die

GIDEON

I am undone without you
