"The Banished" lyrics

"The Banished"

Narrow is the path in the night
Coiling darkness at my side
Harrowing the hours alone
Guarding the last flame

Dreading to close my eyes
Dreading to fall asleep
Seething shadows are ill at ease
Calling my name

They share this forlorn house with me
They share these barren rooms
They come to me like a silent breeze
They come to me like gloom

We are all cast down
Banished from gates of dawn
Exiled from heavens
Drift in the darkest shores

Nothing is the same since you left
Nothingness here awaits
The house at the end of the road
Where the forgotten dwell

Locked in these quiet chambers
Falling into decay
Echoes of your descending footsteps
Linger in the air

At night the spirits are roaming
They wander in these rooms
At night the dead gather here
To join in my doom
