Текст пісні
Through twisted thickets, thick with ancient fright, I glide unseen, a specter in the fading light
My paws fall silent, pilfering the ground, where fearful silence is the only warning sound
A chilling promise, whispered on the breeze, to bring the strongest tremblers to their shaking knees
This burning hunger, younger than the moon, will find its quarry, coming for it very soon
Each shadow stretches, sketches out my way, as twilight fetches victims for the closing day
My purpose singular, minutely sharp and dire, to feed the embers of this old, ancestral fire
The air grows colder, holding bated breath so tight
They sense the danger, cloaked within the coming night
A subtle quiver, shivers down the prey's own spine
This deadly giver of the final, fatal sign
Shadow stride
Through the dark I weave and roam
Scarlet tide
Bringing wild destruction home
No escape now, when the hunt's begun
'Til the crimson river has been fully run
Instinct rages, tearing through the veil
On these killing pages, I will never fail
My eyes like embers, members of a hidden flame, reflecting terror as I whisper out your name
This ancient dance now, prancing on the edge of fear, a fleeting glance now, knowing that the end is near
No plea for mercy, heresy against my creed, just raw coercion, planting a much darker seed
The forest watches, notches every kill I make, as true despatches from the slumber I awake
This pulsing rhythm, with 'em in my very soul, a driven schism, taking its ultimate toll
My spirit bonded, corresponded with the grim design
To be the reaper, keeper of this blood-red line
The scent grows stronger, longing for the taste so near
Can't wait much longer, banishing all doubt and fear
A final closing, dozing senses set alight
This life disposing, under the approving night
Shadow stride
Through the dark I weave and roam
Scarlet tide
Bringing wild destruction home
No escape now, when the hunt's begun
'Til the crimson river has been fully run
Instinct rages, tearing through the veil
