lyrics

Black mountain reach
march of the damned
procession of the weak
land of ash and stone

Dead cold ground
dark crippled rocks
formed of ancient lava
a dead end journey

Frightful sheep
shepherds grin
the dogs follow

Onward and onward
they drag their broken bodies
with shallow breath and bleeding hands
towards their given destiny
dragged, hunted and betrayed
by the whispering voices so sweet

Beneath a pale sky
they find salvation
welcome their defeat
on the obsidian ascent

Beneath a promised land
they fall on their knees
welcome tranquillity
on the obsidian ascent

Follow me, praise me
be me, they whisper

Neglect yourself, hate yourself
hurt yourself, they whisper

Lead me, bless me
show me, they scream

Despise us, Reject us
punish us, they scream

Broken obsidian reach
a climb with no end
cutting shards of stone
they stare at their bleeding hands

Beneath a pale sky
they find salvation
welcome their defeat
on the obsidian ascent

Beneath a promised land
they fall on their knees
welcome tranquility
on the obsidian ascent

A grey veil
a rising storm
clouds of ash and stone
swallowing the feeble flock

Black rock, feeble flock
grey veil, ashen storm
petrified, cast into
obsidian, oblivion
