lyrics

It all began at dawn
In the land of Aëdinthör
A farmer gasped in fright
Collapsed to the ground and mourned
The labor which he slaved
And toiled for a thousand suns
'Twas withered, rotten, dead
For a blight had overrun
The earth herself pulsated
And released a rancid fume
Violating his senses
Madness, his mind consumed

Within the hour spread
Laid claim to land and flesh
Once righteous gentle folk
Now feral, deranged possessed
Those who escaped ran forth
And brought their woes to the king
In hope the nobles take pity
And swift salvation bring
But the ruling class did scoff
Deemed it fantasy, dismissed
Until the blight took the castle
Every sovereign claimed by the mist

This great kingdom
Once filled with song and laughter
Now barren, impure
A valley of slaughter

In time the smoke had cleared
But the damage was complete
The remnants gazed in fear
Their homes now obsolete
Half did choose to flee
Made haste to the mountains west
These forlorn refugees
In sorrow beat their chests
Half did choose to stay
Amongst the clans in woe
Desired their world reclaimed
Unto rebellion thrown
