Elvenking - Under the Sign of a Black Star lyrics

Raised in the company of snakes
The parlance of a serpent
Born from the caring of a crow
The acuity of a bird of prey

"All appearances they fall when the
Soul is shattered
And dear reason back she crawls
When the heart is battered"

A sad, sad song is tuned for me
A mess of words surrounded by dust
Conceived under the sign of a black star
Hurt and misery
Disruptive, ill-willed, inhumane
The look on all their faces
A freak of nature, soul condemned
And damned by the Almighty

"Enamoured by the likelihood of absolution
Eye lids opened just in time for execution"

A sad, sad song is tuned for me
A mess of words surrounded by dust
Conceived under the sign of a black star
Ruin and grime is all you'll see

"The first rune shows me life
The second love
The third rune is for mockery
The fourth for malice
And the fifth rune is death"

"Look away don't hold your breath
They are deceiving
Look away don't hold your sighs
Unleash your anguish"

A sad, sad song is tuned for me
A mess of words surrounded by dust
Conceived under the sign of a black star
Ruin and grime is all you'll see
