[Verse 1] An ill wind blows O'er the nameless frozen seas And whispers through the trees The black herald comes The ice-bound queen At the end of everything The Mother of the Dark Rises from the deep [Chorus] Wraps the world In her cold, unending grasp Now the dark comes The black herald calls And all of our cities fall Beneath the Mother of the Dark [Verse 2] The final truth It's time for us to meet To see what's underneath The black herald comes And the ice-bound queen The end of everything The Mother of the Dark Rises from the deep [Chorus] Wraps the world In her cold, unending grasp Now the dark comes The black herald calls And all of our cities fall Beneath the Mother of the Dark [Bridge] Herald Herald Herald Herald [Verse 3] Through the midnight sky Her voice it spreads and grows A whisper on the breeze Chills the soul, it shows The black herald's dance Underneath the starless night Guides us to her reign Where shadows steal the light [Chorus] Wraps the world In her cold, unending grasp Now the dark comes The black herald calls And all of our cities fall Beneath the Mother of the Dark [Interlude] In silence creeps the night, Veiled in shades of gray, A lull before the flight, As dawn keeps death at bay. [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Wraps the world In her cold, unending grasp Now the dark comes The black herald calls And all of our cities fall Beneath the Mother of the Dark [Verse 4] A silent storm approaches, Carried on the wings of fate, The world's pulse slows, Beneath the herald's weight. We stand on borrowed time, In twilight's eerie glow, Caught in endless rhyme, As the final shadows grow. [Outro] Echoes fade In the shadow of her reign As we sing her name The black herald's chain Binds us to the dark, Where we lie, never to embark
