One Man War Band - Where Death Flows Instead

Hanging in a universe of silk
Celestial lights cast their glow
Upon the landscape
Draped in ivory wool

Silent flakes drop slow
It's far too cold to snow
Air hurts to breathe, as the sentry peers
From his lonely wall atop the barred gate

The mirrored surface gleams
As echoes upstream
Presage maleficent intent
On a bridleway of ice

Stars appear to wink, and the supple shaft
Hisses as it arcs through the night
Hot blood steams in the icy chill
And death comes marching through
(When death comes marching through)

A warming burst of orange radiates
Seeps along the skyline
As a fist of flame closes
Around the town

Church bells slow to toll; A warning that's futile
Inexorable
As the horsemen
Come crashing through

And come the morning rays
Blackened columns rise
Ashes fall with snow in heaps
Upon the earth

Cascades of bloody streams
Freeze like glittering rubies
No water flows down the riverbed
Where death flows instead
(Where death flows instead)
(Ahhhh-)
