From Dusk Till Doom - Stonegard

I could have danced with the demons of the underworld

Shoveling coal

I could have counseled with the priests using split tongue words

Making heads roll

Either way I won’t win

So where do I begin?

I learned to swim by the shores of the black flood

Splashing in fear

I traded in twice my share of this martyr blood

To bring me here

Thundering!

I seek forgiveness from the dead, for what’s not even a sin

Thundering!

I’m praying for resurrection although there’s no such thing

The anvil fears no blow, no yell

As swept of the face of the earth

Distant fields may seem green

But still better than ten more years at the gates

(From dusk till doom)

We’re all taking turns at the wheel

Spinning fortune round

No amendments for all of my deeds

Until our doom is announced

We’re all taking turns at the wheel

Spinning fortune round

No amendments for all of my deeds

Until our doom is announced

When judgement falls I cave in

Meanwhile I’m thundering

Thundering!

I seek forgiveness from the dead, for what’s not even a sin

Thundering!

I’m praying for resurrection although there’s no such thing

When judgement falls I cave in

Meanwhile I’m thundering

Although there’s no such thing
