Hands of Despair – They Say Their Screams Can Still Be Heard Lyrics
Artist: Hands of Despair
Song: They Say Their Screams Can Still Be Heard
The damning winds howl as they slither through barren roads and dwellings
Of breath, of life, of spark, this village devoid
The veil of night stretches its claws to engulf in triumphant dark
No light, no fire nor warmth, all sources obscured
Tables set and linens cleaned for no one to enjoy
Scribed welcomes outside yet none in abode
Doors ajar on empty homesteads and houses abandoned
Their hearths are snuffed, no ambers to stoke
Left behind, vacant, nary a keepsake taken away
Whispering, beckoning, remnants tell the tale
Northward they walked
None of them talked
As if in trance
A crooked dance
Night after night
At dawning dusk
A procession is in the works
Home after home
This settlement
Empties itself to fill the earth
Unknown a Witch resides upon
The mountainside, overlooking all
With spectral nails rooted in blood
Pulling on nerve like puppet strings, forced to march
March
March
To the beat of death
Forever
To the hole, the depths
In misery
Counter to their will in pain
They say their screams can still be heard
Under the trees
Murmurs from beneath, faint humming
Feeble cries of endless fear
March
March
Says the Witch of Death
Forever
To the hole, Her depths
In misery
At the Witch’s will, they’re drained
They say their screams can still be heard
Under the trees
Murmurs from beneath, faint humming
Feeble cries of endless fear
Marching
To the beat she wished
And never
Be free of her grip
Constraining
Nervous system tapped
And leeching
Every life form sapped
To sustain
For aeons past
Wherever
She will have passed
A careful culling must ensue
For only blood will quell her moods
So her magic can reign
And her will ascertain
Not a soul on Earth will remain who knows of her presence in this plane
In this isolate cave
Shielded from prying eyes
A damned cellar where none can escape save with their essence entirely dried
Silent lie the streets in this cursed hollow
Never rest in peace, enthralled to follow
Silent lie the streets in this cursed hollow
Never rest in peace, enthralled to follow
Silent lie the streets in this cursed hollow
Never rest in peace, enthralled to follow
