Scathe of Branches Songtext
von Truent

Rise
World cleanser, branching forth, sweeping higher
Stoke the embers, raze this earth, rebirth it into fire

Burn

And set the sun, for all time
The scion of fire rides
To the north, from the sky
Glowing waves of ash and thunder
Rolling fast, bellowing louder
Tread the flame, before and after
Char the surface, brought to embers

Clash the flaming tides
Walls of stone, sink beneath, cloven skies
Fan the blade, held high
Brandishing wrath′s edge burning bright

And from the ashes of old
The skies will break open and burn
A blade will outshine the sun
The scathe of branches absolves


Absolve

Black
Resting upon the edge, at land's-end
Go forth and harry, scorch the vale, renew each world in fire
And carry the eternal flame, casting through heavens to tree of all life

Plunge into the roots and hear its cry

Thence the sons shall ride
Melt the bonds, from the bridge, to the sky
Let the blade′s edge shine
An inferno burning through the night

Flowing from creation, rivers carve and scar the rime
Pulsing with the venom, through the veins into the frozen primordial void
Melting through the abyss, in a storm of cleansing fire
Rising through the ages and burning all through the night

And from the ashes of old
The skies will break open and burn
A blade will outshine the sun
The scathe of branches absolves


To the ash return
And from the ashes of old
From torn sky and the blistered earth
The skies will break open and burn
Let the world renew in time it will outshine the sun
The scathe of branches absolves

And to the ashes return

Scion of fire
