Hand of Glory

Babylon Whores

    Continues after the ad

    Ashen the world creates itself / Up the branches down the roots / Pecked at
    by birds / By worms gnawed / At the crossroads / By the graves among the
    rowan trees / Nailed white as ivory / With skulls that grin amidst the rot

    For strange are these woods to fare / Stranger the fruit they bear

    Oh hang me high / Upon that tree / For all the secrets to find me / As
    ravens' claws / As eagles' bills / As Wotan's eyes upon the hills / Oh ten I
    have of fingers fine / For all the evil's work in the night / Oh baby I will
    grow for you from a tree

    Burning with glory

    Continues after the ad

    Given to trolls and ogre broods / Days will drown in twilight's gloom /
    Where black dogs howl / Pulling up mandragore / Chained to the ash forever
    more / Deaf to the world's grey roar / Digging up treasures vile and foul

    Eye for an eye for a rune / Drawing down the waning moon / Howled at by all
    wolves / Ensnared 'til the day of doom

    So hang me high / Upon that tree / For all the secrets to find me / As
    ravens' claws / As eagles' bills / As Wotan's eyes upon the hills / Oh ten I
    have of fingers fine / For all the evil's work in the night / Oh baby I will
    grow for you from a tree

    Burning with glory

    All crooks and ghouls who understand / Cherish the work of idle hands / All
    of the pages turned / All of the treasures yearned / All of the fingers
    burned

    Burning with Glory
