Psycroptic - The Valley Of Winds Breath And Dragons Fire Lyrics
Gasping for air, descending quickly down the harsh ravaged slope(you) won't look behindFear drives you continue on, although your chest burns with painas does your mind. You are the prey, you are hunted bya four legged beast of ancient times, a creature that survivesinside a wicked wilderness of hate, and fire.......They roam land and sky......Faster you move, cutting through the black night,Hearing the moan, of wind whistling by -You must keep on, your family awaits....for...You and your priceless cargo. With great care,you grasp at your side. To remind you - of your life giving prize.Guilt flows quite thin, although you realise....you're...Taking the life of another!Your greatest memory was from when you were veryyoung, your grandfather told you of a secrret of exchangingsickness and health. You were appalled - at the initial thoughof stealing a creature unborn child. In all your wildest dreams,you never would have thought it would come down to this.Two decades later (and) you have a daughter of your very own,Youre life - your blood - she lies screaming on her deathbed.This soon, changed things - revolving - in your mind,You went against everything.You were taught to respect every creature born of this earth,Nothing was below you - everything was equal.Their young holds life - you must slice - their heart out...You must drain the blood - then feed it to your own,To save her - you must become a killer indeed.Then your guilt, it can ***** itself, for you will have saved your child.Once again - you leave your thoughts behind as you travelDown onto the floor of the valley and its open space....Now you can sense something behind you, and yourheart - it starts to race. Your brow is soaked with glistening sweat,Beyond the dark trees - your daughter awaitsClose is your home, you dare not look back....for....Fear of what you might see!You can see reflection - on the trees ahead,You feel warmth behind your back.You pray that you won't die - only a thousand paces to homeYou can hear beating wings - of a gigantic creature,Trying to close your ears - and focus on the landscape aheadAlthough impossible - you head the screaming lizard.You then reach the tall trees, you feel half safe,Hoping she will lose sight. You feel a mighty windflames lick your heels as you're pushing harderYou hear trees crashing down - behind and beside you,You see your cave ahead - desperate for safety you feel your mind acheWishing you could forget - your relentless pursuer.Ten paces left - the heat burns behindIn an instant - your body's on fire,It enters your lungs - you fall to the ground......death....comes and you pray for forgiveness from your god.
