Where Is Your Spirit

from BLATTLE OF THE BLANDS by assorted artists

track by @amadis and slavfox (@slavfoxman)

There burns a bright and solemn fire,
Flames a-flicker atop the pyre,
A wound where the fragile Veil has thinned

Hear the telephones a-ringing?
Crows are circling and singing,
strands of music woven in the wind

Embers rise into the night,
glowing shards of fading light,
til they are lost among the cold and countless stars

Hear the drumming in the distance, 
steady and insistent,
like the beating of a strange and monstrous heart

Feel the fiends approaching swiftly in the dark
singing

Where is your spirit?
Where is your song?
Where will you stand
When it all goes wrong?
You think you have power
But I know you're weak
You think you can win?
I will make you weep
Where is your spirit?  

From restless dreams try to awaken
Just as all seemed overtaken
The waking world and nightmares all the same

Beneath the cries of ‘Rest in Violence’
Susurration in the silence:
Static in the stands whispering your name

Feel the undercurrents pull
Reverb rushing in your skull
Distant voices calling you to Rise

And in the waters, a reflection,
An unearthly procession,
Torches gleaming in their bright, impassioned eyes 
       
Like starlight summoned from the skies
singing

Where is your spirit?
Where is your song?
Where will you stand
When it all goes wrong?
You think you have power
But I know you're weak
You think you can win?
I will make you weep
Where is your spirit?  
                              
Cloaked in ash and dyed with blood
Stances shift against the flood
Burning eyes, all a-glitter in the gloom

The final rays of dying sun
Fall upon our loss undone
Their countenances like unto an opened tomb

The lands of light and void astride
The Revenant ever abides
A blazing crown upon her fearsome brow is laid

Our hope and tribute now her armor
No man nor fiend can harm her
Though many've fallen by her hand, her debt repaid

And before her now the world shall be unmade
singing

Where is your spirit?
Where is your song?
We stand together
When it all goes wrong
You think you have power?
I know you’re weak
You think you can win?
I will make you weep

I will never bow to you
I will not bend the knee
If you're expecting supplication
You won't get that shit from me
I will never yield
You cannot stop me now
If you want me off the field
You’ll have to strike me down
I'll strike you out!

Where is your spirit?

Free from chains that rent and tore us
Still destruction lies before us
Stadiums reduced to naught but rot and rust

And in our wake unweaves causality
Rewoven, strand by strand, as we
Arise and revel, dancing in the dust

Let the music heal your soul
Heed the call and be made whole
Raise your voices to the air, like dancing flames

Hear the final peal of thunder, as 
The heavens split asunder, and
The Void consumes the gods and all their names
And with the world renewed the Season starts again...
singing

Where is your spirit?
Where is your song?
Where will you stand
When it all goes wrong?
You think you have power?
We know you’re weak
You think you can win?
We will make you weep

This is our spirit
This is our soul song
We stand together
When the world’s gone wrong
We hold the power
We are not weak
We know we can win
