lyrics

The land was lost
Some fled to sea
They took a ship
Their time to flee
Three days passed
Before the sky
They left behind
Was red and dry

When they found land again
It glowed amber in the night
As they approached the new shore
Fires burning flesh and wood alight
Shadows moved before the light
Walking crooked, standing bent
The same shapes that took their homes
And heard the horns that evil sent

And so once more they were forced out
Back to sea with no home in mind
Loved ones left behind were now dead
Or worse turned to drones of dark kind
Soon food would be scarce and then gone
A choice to starve or risk capture
Would they live to tell their black tale
Or be caught in the grim rapture

And so they returned
Armed with oars and hooks
To either vanish
Or make history books
They came ashore
To where the scourge had been
But all trees were burned
And no life to be seen
As far as any could see
Only ash to eat
Only one way to survive
To taste forbidden meat
And so their tale ends there
Their need became defeat
For only one can walk away
When friends are made of meat
