lyrics

VERSE I:

Down, digging ever deeper.
Harrow my hallowed soil, with their frantic jagged hands
Riven for stone and steel, material bled from my marrow
Curse their blasted eyes, avarice their burning sign
Black spiral dancing into arms of the death knell
Deaf unto the tolling bell, lockstep in line with souls to sell.
We betrayed her.

VERSE II:

Rend my flesh from bone, as if tearing hearth from home.
I am empty, made hollow by my own
For ligatures of silver, gallowbraids of greed and gold.
We betrayed her.

CHORUS:

Hand in hand we march into the Styx
Drown, deathless drowned
Glowering Strix, sing our maledictions.

VERSE III:

No obols for eyes, all that glimmers is gone.
Spent on age of thoughtless sleep
To betray the Earth beneath their feet
Black spiral dancers swinging from the tolling bell.
We betrayed her.

CHORUS/CODA:

Hand in hand we march into the Styx
Drown, Drowned.
Oh glowering Strix, sing our maledictions.
Hand in hand we march into the Styx
Down, Drag us down
Lash us to that tolling bell.
