Wild Autumn Wind

Across the plains come drifts of sand
 From graves of water and tombs of man
 The hollow weight of history
 Desiccated and blowing free
 ♪
 In the wake, all is dust
 In the wake, all is dust
 The bones of beasts and the bones of kings
 Become dust in the wake of the hymn
 Mighty kingdoms rise, but they all will fall
 No more than a breath on the wind
 The bones of beasts and the bones of kings
 Become dust in the wake of the hymn
 Mighty kingdoms rise, but they all will fall
 No more than a breath on the wind
 
 Spectres and gods adrift in the wild, mournful wind
 ♪
 Vast cycles unfold across the span of æons
 Colossal keeps consumed and left as burial mounds
 And even stars will fade into empyrean shrouds
 In ashen vaults, on parchment scrolls
 ♪
 The echoed verses state soft the toll
 In the wake, all is dust

 ♪
 In the wake, all is dust
 Vast desolation
 Silent grave of æons
 Revenants watch from cold cosmic towers
 Glimmering eyes of jade bear final witness
 Temples crumble as the great wheel turns
 Ground to dust
 Monuments and megaliths unnamed
 Fall the same
 Earth and sky enrobed in deathless void
 Endless night

 Worm of Autumn claims its final throne
 Final throne
