A Nameless Dread - Huntsmen

Unfurl my wings and spread the sickness

A stench of sorrow that makes me ascend

With God so long gone, I do what I can

And I’ll burn the whole world until it eats from my hand

You pray in vain, a knife in your face

Sing me your song while I help you ascend a stair of bone

To your everlasting home

Born in the mire, suckled on dread

You named the nameless, raised it up from the dead

A life so fragile, a crimson thread

Weed in the desert, king of the damned

And prince of the dead

Horror my hymnal

Songs of the end

Thrive on the fault line

Drag you back in

Drag you in

King of the damned

Turn your gaze into the east, there’s a comet crossing the sky

A nameless dread, horizon glowing red

Tricks your eyes into seeing sunrise

Gulp the air and drink the scent of your final hours alive

A brittle bird crushed inside a fist

A fading dream of flight

Follow life until its end, just a well that’s waiting to dry

Pass a finger through the flame

Pull it back unscathed

Build your mandala of hope, it’s the cruelest joke of our time

The way is fear, swallowed in despair

Consuming you from inside

My name is dread
