The Silhouette of the Trees

The Silhouette of the trees 
Behind the bells, at midnight
Embraces the spirit of those 
Fought for pride of scavengers
In the quest of quenching 
The thirst of their blood

A cost we all must pay
Someday when the deceased 
Will rise again and 
Call a war at the end 
Of the day   


Whispering, oh they say, they've heard
The forest cries every night
Assembling the troops of the dead
Into the stones a righteous wrath engraved

The weapon they have, I heard
Can't kill none, 
But the fears come not from 
Dying, 
Their weapon that is
They can’t be killed.
