Huldra - Twisted Tongues And Gnarled Roots

Luminescent orbs had kept us
On course but
Gnarled roots then lead us astray

Their wisdom filled us with
The strength to carry on

But twisted tongues spat
Poisonous words and the poison

Took kindly to our veins
A plague upon us all

Standing on the shoulders of titans
Lofty perch bears witness to travesty
Stoney eyes gaze on
Shadows encroach by the second
Casting a dim light upon us
Quickly fading wavering and weak
Lay your weary head upon my hands

This sickness stakes its claims
On the lives of lesser men
O dwindling light resurge

Tired limbs begin to wither and
Begin to quiver under the weight of
The push and pull and sway of the storm

Corrupted words had gotten the best of her
Betrayal committed amongst the roots and leaves
Once viewed as a savior, this man is but a ruse
Leaving behind too many traces of his infidelity
