The Vigil Lyrics

Night fog in misty marshes

Trees lay twisted, roots unfold

Dead land, of dampened darkness

Naked branches and willows grow

Leaves die, the sky is smothered

Covered up with moss and mould

In the trees, they lie in hiding

Biding time and watching close

I'm so cynical

And I am not anything more for you

I'll sleep away this all

And not wake up until late morning

Night falls, the blackness calls

The dreary peering eyes of gnomes - in their

Wood shoes, and wooden hooves

Around the fire they dance with trolls

They know that I'm alone

I've tangled every word I know

I'm found, my hands are bound

I'll seek the shadows until I'm yours…

I'm not an alien

But I am no one I can trust, because

I bruised my cranium

And shook the memories into dust

And I feel like I'm drowning in all that i know

Am I hiding inside where my mind should not go

I wasn't trying to buy in by selling my soul

Oh I don't know…

Oh me, oh my, oh no

I have discovered that I am ill, and it

Pains me, but I must go

I am late for my vigil
