LEAVES OF BLOOD

I:

Long ago in a dark age
a story of blood and fate
evil god called on his high priests
cruel voice in their dreams
deepening their dreaded creed
he demanded a fierce deed


RefI:

The leaves of blood must fall
from the cursed trees of tears
the fallen souls must call
in the winds of a thousand years
the leaves of blood must fall
from the cursed trees of tears
the fallen souls must call
in the winds of a thousand years


II:

Total worship to the lord of doom
let them gather in the evening gloom
planning a savage sacrifice
to slay the army of light
as ferocious preparations began
there was a song they sang


RefII:

The leaves of blood will fall
from the cursed trees of tears
the fallen souls will call
in the winds of a thousand years
the leaves of blood will fall
from the cursed trees of tears
the fallen souls will call
in the winds of a thousand years


III:

Trapped in a deep woody dale
blinded by a black magic's veil
all the heroes of the light
were slain in a mercyless fight
their souls were bound to the leaves
of the black disfigured trees
drinking blood an eating moonlight
crying in an endless night
they will never see the light again
feeling just despair an pain


RefIII:

The leaves of blood keep falling
from the cursed trees of tears
the fallen souls keep calling 
in the winds of a thousand years
the leaves of blood keep falling
from the cursed trees of tears
the fallen souls keep calling
in the winds of a thousand years
