LyricMeaning

The Scythe
Elvenking

On this night of nights, she's coming my way

Under this rain, dirty with agony and pain

Mistress of doom, winner of all fights

My glance is reflected in the blade of the scythe


A sparkling golden sickle

Mows down souls whistling in the air

Reddens little by little

The seas of life and mankind's lairs


A fall into the abyss

Deep into agony and pain

Spiral down to the anguish

It has been all in vain, all in vain, go


Welcome, please join the fair of failures

Enter into the hall of pleasures

Righteous the act to kill

Or wasn't it one of God's wills?


You leave behind all the trails of winter

The time has come for me to go

Though the fear has gone, the storm is over

And there's someone at your door


Another name to be carved

For every slash of my blade

Until the day you find

The one reflected is your face


Come, taste blood, rust and terror

Come to the show with no restraint

It's your time


The mother of desperation

Death of thunder and rain

Sighs and tears are all in vain

Clad in a cloak of despair

She'll take you away


Welcome, please join the fair of failures

Enter into the hall of pleasures

Righteous the act to kill


Or wasn't it one of God's wills?


You leave behind all the trails of winter

The time has come for me to go

Though the fear has gone, the storm is over

And there's someone at your door


Hold your ground and watch your back

With the aim of remaining the last

I asked this night for a piece of advice

This time the scythe won't fall, keep still


Still

Still


You leave behind all the trails of winter

The time has come for me to go

Though the fear has gone, the storm is over

And there's someone at your door


Hold your ground and watch your back

With the aim of remaining the last

I asked this night for a piece of advice

This time the scythe won't fall, keep still


You leave behind all the trails of winter

The time has come for me to go

Though the fear has gone, the storm is over

And there's someone at your door


Leave behind all the trails of winter

The time has come for me to go

Though the fear has gone, the storm is over

And there's someone at your door


And if you follow the trails down this winter wake

She's reaping down souls, one for every flake

Throughout the ages, through centuries

She, mistress of customs of memories
