ravenous
once i was a strapping young suitor much like yourself i thought only of gold in days long past was a wealthy land-owner growing my power through things bought and sold i overlooked an important lesson that life would have taught me if only i'd seen! a life such as mine had been part of a cycle and all that i'd bought had a price set for me... in blood
like you, i sought only for glory but glory by gold isn't glory at all short youth, none would tell of my story all that i'd done would mean nothing at all
what was this skin that i've come to wear? untrustworthy vessel of age and despair! and thus was i crushed when i offered the hand of a rich man to young maiden fair
she saw only my decay she cared not for mountains of gold scorned me, my brother to marry disgust for a creature so old
that night was the night of the full moon deep in the woods did i cry for my doom
she saw only an elder she cared not for castles so cold Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com gods or demons grant me unending vigor and i shall grant thee all that i own
a voice in darkness crackled like fire whispering sinister secrets to me ''youth eternal you seek to acquire, and all of your gold cannot cover the fee his is the hand that holds your desire, his is the voice that mocks you gleefully your brother's life is the price of this ransom and all that you ask shall be granted to thee drink of his life-giving rubescent nectar and all that you ask shall be given to thee''
i drank from his blood ridden cup
seen by she whose lover i supped
i pounced and devoured her frozen by horror of what i had done possessed by the spirit of orcus, unaware of what i'd become
ravenous! a great winged shadow! ravenous! of feathers and thorns! ravenous! to hunger eternal! ravenous! corvid. deformed.!
