Vermilion Dawn - I Died in Autumn Lyrics

Stranded here in my own flesh
A coffin of sinew and bone
Gapping wounds in my abdomen spilling forth the
Essence of a life I once lived in vein
Bloodied hands lay limp in snow painting a
Visceral piece to be cherished by those who come after me

As black fills the sky
As birds fail to sing
I wither away
They reclaim my scattered bones
They carry me down to haunted caverns below

This body I submit to the damned
Purged of its essence

My soul perished long ago
A husk wandering for months
Only brought to death amidst the anguish I had witnessed here

Oh all the hardship I've endured through the years
Finally stifling me down in the midst of autumn
With no means to provide for this kin of mine
This winter shall be our last for we'll starve by years end

If only I could have foreseen the demons
Emerging from shadows to slaughter us all
Ripping and tearing they lavish in the fountains of blood
Raining down from the sky

She runs to the hills
Pursued by death they are lost
With my absence
I've killed them all
I've killed them all

My soul perished long ago
A husk wandering for months
Only brought to death amidst the anguish I had witnessed here

And so I go forth into a chasm of black
Let me drown in an endless sea of torment
Forever cursed to be haunted by a memory
A shameful death only fit for a damned coward

Take me back to the times of plenty when I
Felt alive with a warmth deep down in my heart
Before the leaves turned gold with the changing season
Before I spiral into a well of despair
