Father by Carnivorous Forest Lyrics

It was the darkest day
When the light left and all was grey
The dawning of the rust in gold
I was only six years old

The beginning of a cold legacy
Crowned in pain, mantled by misery
The prince remained here enthroned
As the king left him all alone

Sorrow

My father left me
My father left me
My father left me
My father left me

And throughout those early years
Trying to rule a kingdom of rusty tears
The king drifted in and out transformed
Riding on the winds of the whitest storm
Time would pass the prince in woe
A quarter of a century or so
The king had completely disappeared
Within a snow white cocaine blizzard

Sorrow

My father left me
My father left me
My father left me
My father left me

And never came back

I am the god of wolves and death
Red on white is all that's left
Treading on this bloody snow
They fear me, I'm wendigo

Manitou, lord of the trees
The highest mountains are part of me
The blues and whites of the snows
My home where the wild grapes grow

Supernova
A church falling as cinders
A storm of snow and ash
This kingdom fading away
This legacy fading fast
An end to this tired land
The sun is in your eyes
The end of this doomed bloodline
The sun brings your demise

I am the sea wolf of the deep
The blackest blues where the great ships sleep
A hellish mouth within this ocean
Swallowing all as the icy depths now open

I am the wraith, walker of the graves
Self-infliction to free the slaves
Suicide frees the shackled host
And I now stride the path of ghosts

Supernova

A church falling as cinders
A storm of snow and ash
This kingdom fading away
This legacy fading fast
An end to this tired land
The son is in your eyes
The end of this doomed bloodline
The son brings your demise
