Wild Autumn Wind Lyrics - Singles - Caladan Brood

Across the plains come drifts of sand 

From graves of water and tombs of man 

The hollow weight of history 

Desiccated and blowing free 

In the wake, all is dust 

The bones of beasts and the bones of kings 

Become dust in the wake of the hymn 

Mighty kingdoms rise, but they all will fall 

No more than a breath on the wind 

Spectres and gods adrift in the wild, mournful wind 

Vast cycles unfold across the span of aeons 

Colossal keeps consumed and left as burial mounds 

And even stars will fade into empyrean shrouds 

In ashen vaults, on parchment scrolls 

The echoed verses state soft the toll 

In the wake, all is dust 

Vast desolation 

Silent grave of aeons 

Revenants watch from cold cosmic towers 

Glimmering eyes of jade bear final witness 

Temples crumble as the great wheel turns 

Ground to dust 

Monuments and megaliths unnamed 

Fall the same 

Earth and sky enrobed in deathless void 

Endless night 

Worm of Autumn claims its final throne 

The bones of beasts and the bones of kings 

Become dust in the wake of the hymn 

Mighty kingdoms rise, but they all will fall 

No more than a breath on the wind
