Raventhorn – Omnes Una Manet Nox Lyrics

Uncertainty of what's to come
Overwhelmed our hero 
His part of the deal was done
Will the fate bestow him?
Will the story have a happy end?

Seth arrived to the appointed spot where
Raven Cult brought Irene for them to reunite 
Scars on her beautiful face made him aware 
Of the Cleavers' deranged brutality towards her in the night

Her oddly cold greeting surprised our hero
She evaded brother's embrace, in tears, speechless took the carriage

Seth followed her to the cab
His confusion was tearing him up
"I'm so glad that you are alive"
"And I wish you'd have left me to die
What I've been through in that place
A mortal soul should never endure
But the worst torment of all
Was to learn who you truly are"

"All these years I've looked up to you
With you as my crutch and my hero I grew up
The idol you've once been to me is no more 
Where is the person I've used to have trust in?

You have spared no one, all of those lives
Were taken by you without hesitation 
Brother, the difference is slight in my eyes
Between yours and Cleavers' deeds and intentions

Unaware of the path you have chosen
My heart was broken, my soul - ripped apart
I've had enough, I'm saying goodbye 
The time has come for me back home to depart"

Irene has left him by his house 
And rode forth into the crimson sunset 
Grief-stricken Seth stood by the roadside
Faltering he moved upstairs in cold sweat

One month passed, and pain still persisted
He's hidden away in his lodging forlorn
Bottle's enticement he never resisted
From behind the curtains he glanced full of scorn

As a mad poet he searched for the words 
To explain himself to his sister beloved 
Yet nothing seemed right, all his thoughts were interred
In the endless letters to the ceiling piled up

One sleepless night our hero, still restless,
Was pacing around with a bottle in hand
Another held one of his countless letters
Will it put his craving to a desired end?

Seth suddenly noticed the
Raven that sat on the sill staring back into his soul
Is anything left there at all
Visions came back to his mind
Our hero fell on the ground with the letter 
That turned out to be his last one
Curtains fall, lights out

And so, thy blood by your own hands was spilt
The prophecy is now fulfilled
