Reader Of The Runes - Book I
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can sense a demon within carries your name
Oh Ethel, Dear Ethel
I'll carry hurt to their divided hearts
Somebody died on that dark awful night
Somebody's bound to bear the price
Unaware under a pale moonlight
The runes will wake blood sacrifice
The gods foreshadowed and the stars complied
A gift of potency on silent tides
A pact was written and in magic sealed
A power tool under a hood concealed
A lullaby for the fragile souls
For those who held the scene
A chant to those who pay the toll
What will be with what have been
Isa told of spells and moans
Othila traces plans unknown
Feoh spoke with its ancient tongue
As Alghiz hails the one
I'm the Reader of the Runes
I'm searching diamonds in the night
All the way across the firmament
Where stars paint fates aligned
I'm the Reader of the Runes
I'm luring gemstones in the light
Somebody died on that dark awful night
Somebody's bound to bear the price
Unaware under a pale moonlight
The runes will wake blood sacrifice
Isa told of spells and moans
Othila traces plans unknown
Feoh spoke with its ancient tongue
As Alghiz hails the one
I'm the Reader of the Runes
I'm searching diamonds in the night
All the way across the firmament
Where stars paint fates aligned
I'm the Reader of the Runes
I'm luring gemstones in the light
And the wake of all their deeds
Will thrive and burn alight
I can sense a demon within - it carries your name
Oh Ethel, Dear Ethel
I'll carry hurt to their divided hearts
I can sense a demon within - with blackened wings
They're marching! They're marching!
I'll carry hurt and rip their souls apart
They're marching, they're riding the sky vault
Towards their fate
Aligned they are marching, lone dark souls
To the gate (of Sauin)
Read the lines that no one reads
They are written everywhere
See the things that no one can see
Things that God forbids
There were runes can still be called
Under thirteen Moons of Fall
Magic, Spirits and a Sunset
Reader of the Runes
I'm the Reader of the Runes
I'm searching diamonds in the night
All the way across the firmament
Where stars paint fates aligned
I'm the Reader of the Runes
I'm luring gemstones in the light
And the wake of all their deeds
Will thrive and burn alight
I'm the Reader of the Runes
I'm searching diamonds in the night
All the way across the firmament
Where stars paint fates aligned
I'm the Reader of the Runes
I'm luring gemstones in the light
And the wake of all their deeds
Will thrive and burn alight
