Lo, A Spectre Comes lyrics

Lo, a silent spectre comes

It creeps in from the past

Do not plea for compassion

None was given long ago

When the blowing, biting sands

Passed on in series erodong

Now cast into cold, hard stone

Upon a barren desert trod

The ghosts of regrets passing

Both those seen and unseen

Not a tear drop to quench it

The thirst that is begotten so

It's late, and the sun's light fades

A moonless night brings tribulation

The words, the thoughts, the ways

They come to bid for atonement

The marvels shallow are departed

Only an inbreeding voice cries out

As if wailing woes wandering

Signaling an evil entrance to come

All armor would shudder on impact

A metal that can never be reforged

And a hammer crack its brittle bonds

The fires of fears melt its tempering

The ages weakening a rusting hulk

A soul made bare in times's laments

Yet no pleas, no ploys spare thee

Hear wisdom's voice made clear
