Where We Dwell Songtext
von Darkwoods My Betrothed

Arriving here
Through open gate
You bring your worst
Blight our fate
Do debauchery
And slit, slice, rejoice
Wreck our homes
And peaceful lives

Plunder, pillage:
Evil done
Angel taut to us brought
Burns our house, rains her curse
They leak their war
Through our door
They like to break
Bodies rape and children take
Make me a whore?
Human no more?


Draw up the barriers
Arm the wards
Summon hidden lake-bound swords:
Floating wisps to deceive
Your doings here ′mongst the meek
Must make you grieve
Smash the gate in your face
Force you out
And force you dead
Plead our plight to the land
Break the malice brought by men

Demon lamps
Lead them grim
Show them how
No need for him
Be our sword
Our newest lord
Wash them in deadened shine
Lights of fire flashing grim
Hide our home
Make our lives less thin
Wisps of death running grim
Help us live our lives alone
Alone

War take you far away
Let war break you
Ere death here brew
This we pray


Man
Him diminish
Men and men
Their lives now finish
And ours now stem

Take our houses far from worlds of war and men
From where all is pain
Bring those lights
To flit, to dart
Make life depart

Take us away from the world of war, of them
Away to where all is sane
Us do shelter
Us do save
Dampest earth:
Come us do defend

So we salt the land
Plough the grave
So we arm all swamp
Mask our grave
Do not come back
For we won't lack
You are no men
Our door now shut

The forest is our bower
Hidden well
Therein our power
For here
Witches dwell
