[Verse] Crowned in blood the mother of darkness Lurches to the surface From a thousand years in the ground With her arms outstretched Her tendrils latch onto the forest Turning trees into corpses As her voice rings out Calling for her children [Chorus] And she whispers "My children" And she whispers "My children" And she whispers "My children" And she whispers "My children" [Verse] With her clawed hand she tears into the heavens As a gash opens wide The sky bleeds pitch black With a cry she tears down the stars As the earth grows cold Under a mother of darkness [Chorus] And she whispers "My children" And she whispers "My children" And she whispers "My children" And she whispers "My children" [Bridge] And the earth grows dark And the earth grows cold And the earth grows dark And the earth grows cold And the earth grows dark And the earth grows cold And the earth grows dark And the earth grows cold [Verse] With a growl the mother of darkness Prowls through the shadows That cling to her body In a voice like a hundred voices She beckons for her children To embrace her as their mother [Interlude] The night conceals her secrets deep Veils of shadow waver near As moonlight flickers, pale and weak Mist rolls forth, its tendrils leer [Verse 4] As twilight fades, the world holds its breath In the stillness, she begins to wreathe Wisps of smoke trail her fingertips' path Drawing spirits from the silenced eaves Their eyes aglow, they answer her call Entwined in shadows, they rise and fall Binding to the mother of night Together, they vanish from sight [Outro] As the silence falls upon the forest Only whispers remain Echoes of the mother Calling her children In a world shrouded by darkness Her legacy lingers on
