lyrics

running in circles and chased by the wind
the old man falls to the ground
as the ground tilts and he clings to the edge
he braces his ears from the sound
of the one who they feared but never believed in
it rises from depths long forgotten
the old wizard searches his mind for a ward
the king has returned, and so has the horde

crawling and climbing the old man holds on
as he reaches up toward the sky
the blood it rains down and it blankets them all
as all of them meet their demise
that they should have seen coming he showed them the signs
he foretold exactly this scene
he scrambles alone over the new jagged world
travels alone and wonders, what it means

the perpetrator laughs alone
at the comfortable ignorance
are they really innocent
when they brought it on themselves
how can you sit back and watch
how can i meet you there
how can you sit back and watch
watch it all crumbling
you could have been here
you should have been here with us
this time it's real
this time it's real

i tried to tell them
i told everyone
no one would listen
now they're all gone
showed them the signs
told them their fate
no one would listen
now it's too late

i tried to tell you
you were the one
you wouldn't listen
now they're all gone
showed you the signs
told you your fate
you wouldn't listen
now it's too late

crawling climbing hanging on
crawling climbing hanging on
crawling climbing hanging on
crawling climbing hanging on

too late, too late

For their previous effort Elk Witch took as to a "Mountain" this time they are showing us what lies beyond that mountain and what we find there is more superb The Sword like proto-doom flecked with a little blustering hard rock and metal FDJ (Desert Psychlist)
