Believe the bleeding trees And believe the silent soil The mangled birds and the feasting rats Covered in pitchblack oil Believe the prison bars As they form a cell around you Believe the wailing wind Haunting layered beds of honour As human lives collide In the vortex of war... Ravens heaven incarnate on earth The clouds grow dark upon you all Deny the laughing mouth As venom hides inside the gorge Deny the shining gold For a million graves compile the forge Powderdriven hard lead arrows Ardently kiss the heart Skyscraping piles of corpses A masterpiece of human art I came from a valley of stars To dwell in the shadows Now I challenge the world with my scars Desertion fails On a path of no return When feet entwine and eyes shut down As men begin to burn And the rain falls down To wash away blood, sweat and tears, Forming rivers of remains And drowning fears I came from a valley of stars To dwell in the shadows Now I challenge the world with my scars Dropping down dead I challenge the fire as I strive Through burning streams, as they boil my skin We challenge the world with our lives For we ourselves are challenged again I came from a valley of stars To dwell in the shadows Now I challenge the world with my scars As they burst open wide
