about

Requiem tells the story of a man who doesn't believe in life after death, and realises as he dies, he was wrong. After an acoustic intro that announces his self-doubt, he finds himself on the other side of the grave. He pleads with the prophet of the Hunter to grant him a true, final death. He speaks in languages forgotten, where symbols open portals between worlds. Tribal drums accentuate his pounding on closed doors "that only turn for gold", and open chords welcome his realisation that the day of ultimate wrath will come. Eventually.

lyrics

Shadows slither in the distance
Between the forest trees
Holding candles burning brightly
At midnight
Oh I'm anxious to press onward
I know they hold my fate
Hooded heads are slowly turning towards me

Oh why should I listen to just reason
Why should I never believe

Oh Hunter of great mercy take unto yourself my soul
Commit my body to the ground
Save me from death eternal when you come and judge your prey
I bow before thy horned crown

Six seeds of living breath
Six sickles or the sharp fangs of death

The key to heaven's gate turns only for gold
No empty graves across this land
And then the sinners rise, call out to the judge
The Hunter's bloody reign's at hand

Six seeds of living breath
Six sickles or the sharp fangs of death

The day of wrath will come
Blessed are the dead
My heart contrite like dust
Blessed are the dead

Lest I burn in fire forevermore
Oh Hunter let me join the pack
As we're damned and doomed, implements of war
I proudly stand with the army in black

Six seeds of living breath
Six sickles or the sharp fangs of death

The day of wrath will come
Blessed are the dead
My heart contrite like dust
Blessed are the dead
