What Slept Beneath Tarvos

Shadow of a man, broken pedestal stand
Stuck carving out time and these lines in the sand
Blood and bone-cut knife in my hand
But I can't find any more strength to keep it up

So now it's you up against all this hate in me
(I thrive in the pain)
You, you think there's something left to kill inside of me
Just know I left my frail humanity with the dead buried in the frost
And I will pile bodies into this hole
Until they stack so high that I can fight you eye-to-eye
So tell me, don't you know
(My frozen blood won't mind a little cold) it won't be long now
I've caught your scent, I'm closing in

Gnash your teeth
Until they crumble from your skull
Totems clawed
From the malintent of bornless bastards
Rotted gods
Looking down from where they perch
Sitting in insidious cities

Dancing like autumn leaves
Clinging to dying trees
Dancing like autumn leaves
Clinging to dying trees

If it's do or die, then I might turn a blind eye
Just so I can be there when you fall down from the sky
I don't mind scorching skylines
Don't step up if you're not ready for the kickback

So now it's you up against all this hate in me
I thrive in pain
You think there's something left to kill inside of me
Primal bloodstain
So pull me into a death that we deserve
The dying leaves
Falling to earth

I lift my eyes up to a morning sky (morning sky)
That's not good enough, that's just not good enough
A million angels weep blood for my crimes (for my crimes)
That's not good enough
It's just not good enough

I'm sorry, past the feeble power of my final words
I understood enough, but that's not good enough
A thousand centuries I've prayed you might return
But that's not enough
It's never good enough
