Fen - Menhir - Supplicant lyrics

Prostrate we are
On bended knee and foreheads
Pressed against the earth stained with blood
The altar is crimson yet
The soils remain unslaked
Before the vastness of the megalith
Under the glare of a thousand veiled stares
So much more needed
More to be given to those beneath
Present thy fragile forms
Surrender supplicant

Enshrine in roots, the first ones scream out
A demand for vengeance
A clarion call that resonates
Throughout that cold void of forgotten epochs

In silent serried ranks we move
To the colossal pulse of the unknowable
Yielding willing
This malleable swarm
Compelled to carve remembrance
Harbingers of sundered generations
Slaves to a forgotten will

'Casting our gaze to the star-studded
Skies whilst our souls
Bleed into the thirsty earth -
Yet silent they remain
The keening wails of the singers
Of the summoning songs
Remain unanswered, unheard yawning abyss
Lifeless heavens
Unheeding but our supplication endears
The need for sacrifice
Resonates and echoes throughout generations
Before us and generations to come

Shriveled wastelands tremble
To the remorseless march of the lost
Shackled in chains of surrender
Slaves we are on broken knees and foreheads
Driven into the earth drenched with blood
The altar is eternal
