The Desert steals our souls Rising like the suns at dawn Twin cowards slow return Guardians of our graven sojourn The Storyteller warns Offworlders blood must be drawn For a Demon rules the waste And a hunger we must embrace Brethren of the Dunes On the rise above the Bloodless Wound To a path that’s lined with bones Center of remembrance stones Harbingers of doom Have turned our seas into our tombs For this we sacrifice To sate the Devil’s appetite Circles drawn With weapons raised On sacred ground Vermin’s chained Steel on Flesh Blood on Sand With cries to the sky We make our stand We ask the wicked To judge us with mercy We ask the Unseen To grant us sight We ask the Silent To steal the sound from our steps We ask the Shadows To lead us back to the light

Oh Death 04:32
O, Death. O, Death. Won't you spare me over til another year? My mother came to my bed Placed a cold towel upon my head. My head is warm, my feet are cold Death is a-movin' upon my soul. Oh death how you're treatin' me You've close my eyes so I can't see. Well you're hurtin' my body You make me cold You run my life right outta my soul. Oh death please consider my age, Please don't take me at this stage. My wealth is all at your command If you will move your icy hand. Oh the old, the young, the rich or poor All alike to me, you know. No wealth, no land, no silver no gold Nothing satisfies me but your soul. When God is gone, and the Devil takes hold, Who'll have mercy on your soul. O, Death. O, Death. Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
