Hour of Judgement by Rituals of the Oak Lyrics
The fading sunset falls to grey
The Shifting skies are all they see
And now their lives have come to pass
A morning star illuminates through distant eyes
A thousand souls cry out in pain
Above the Northern sea as fire rains
Falling without end
Another memory burns
Drowned in the hands of Death
Beneath a rising moon they pray
Their heathen souls in the hands of gods
A sacrifice the only way
The morning star illuminates in crimson shades
A future torn from withered hands
The fortunes of all that they know
Now lying forsaken and dead beyond
The circle of life has been broken
Within the eye of Sol - illusions are swept away
Through the hour of judgement
We have fought in vain - bleeding silently
Cut by the knives of fate
In our memories of weakness
We claimed victory - so mistakenly
And paid the cost with our lives
Await the sign - the hour's near
And darkness covers all
Look down on what you've made
The memories slowly fade
And so it begins as it ends
The seas boiling, the night raging on
And through all this pain and servitude
The night rages on and on...
The fortunes of all that they know
Now lying forsaken and dead beyond
The circle of life has been broken
Within the eye of Sol - illusions are swept away
The fortunes of all that we know
Now lying forsaken and dead below
The edge of our dreams has been broken
Never to come again
Illusions of life are no more...
Await the sign - the hour's near
And darkness covers all
Look down on what you've made
The memories slowly fade
The Shifting skies are all they see
And now their lives have come to pass
A morning star illuminates through distant eyes
A thousand souls cry out in pain
Above the Northern sea as fire rains
Falling without end
Another memory burns
Drowned in the hands of Death
Beneath a rising moon they pray
Their heathen souls in the hands of gods
A sacrifice the only way
The morning star illuminates in crimson shades
A future torn from withered hands
The fortunes of all that they know
Now lying forsaken and dead beyond
The circle of life has been broken
Within the eye of Sol - illusions are swept away
Through the hour of judgement
We have fought in vain - bleeding silently
Cut by the knives of fate
In our memories of weakness
We claimed victory - so mistakenly
And paid the cost with our lives
Await the sign - the hour's near
And darkness covers all
Look down on what you've made
The memories slowly fade
And so it begins as it ends
The seas boiling, the night raging on
And through all this pain and servitude
The night rages on and on...
The fortunes of all that they know
Now lying forsaken and dead beyond
The circle of life has been broken
Within the eye of Sol - illusions are swept away
The fortunes of all that we know
Now lying forsaken and dead below
The edge of our dreams has been broken
Never to come again
Illusions of life are no more...
Await the sign - the hour's near
And darkness covers all
Look down on what you've made
The memories slowly fade
