lyrics

Desolation Overture
Words & Music by Finn Bonel

Cold as betrayal
Black as the crow who knows the story well
The pale horse
The tolling bell
We're all just sand
Falling through hourglass in the devil's hand
Throwing stars on the sea

When the time has come
It's the only thing that's already said & done
But you'll write the words below your name
When the scythe cuts you away

You sow & you reap
And he'll harvest the crop
Nothing's here to keep
The ones you love the most
Replaced by ghosts
Then dreams turn to prayers
Between the cradle & the rocking chair
While the devil deals another card somewhere

Reads the time has come
It's the only thing that's already said & done
But you'll write the words below your name
When the scythe cuts you away
