Phantoms of the Mire Songtext
von Shadow of Corvus

Reflections struggle to find hosting eyes
From rippling waters
Inundated soil
Beneath heathered skies
Are all that remain

Was it you who said humanity
Has a seat at the table of god?
I took solace in those words
Displayed them in my work
Let them live without fear
Rejection of the truth
Here we are now
Responsible for travesty
Of a scale unknown


O
Now beware
Of the Phantoms of the Mire
Taking host
You may claim
That it′s based in fiction
Yet this was foretold

Now beware
Of the Phantoms of the Mire taking host
You tell them it's a mirage
But I have felt the ghost

Living in a world drowned out
In our own mistakes
Massive waves overtake
Everything we love
Twisted metal, burning wood
A barge of floating corpses
This is what it takes to play God
You will not interfere

Now we must go
Escaping with what little that we have left
I′m sure that you're aware
That these deadly waters can reanimate
You'll see the waves that come from a drop
Of pure
Hatred


Rising from the waves
This is how
The Legend comes to life

O
Now beware
Of The Phantoms of the Mire

O
Now beware
