The Road Of Bones

And morning finds my night's work
Lights the remnants on display
I do not seek forgiveness
Nothing to absolve

For now the need is met
I almost hate myself
Almost...
But not quite

They survey the frozen scene
The cold countenance of hell
And they hang their heavy heads
I'm seen as death itself

Fear beholds this fragile town
Extends for miles around
I've taken all control
For I am someone now

The shadow cross my face
All the signs of my mistakes
Shallow graves I mark with stones
As I walk the road of bones

We dance
Our unkind compelling dance
The arcane
Ritual observed
I will see this whole thing through
If I only just keep my nerve

All the journeys I've retraced
To return me to this place
I do not walk alone
As I build the road of bones

Their damn shock of reactions
What it's for
For love nothing and
I won't be ignored

They've got sirens and all that nervous force
They concede
A good death's
It's own reward

The shadow cross my face
All the futures laid to waste
Shallow graves I mark with stones
As I walk the road of bones
