A leaf floats down from the tree
Shades of yellow and green with sunlight shining through
Life ebbs from its veins through to the skies above
Crickets chirp and the wind blows
Life that sprung forth now returns
It gives, yet takes much more

Bless me with the leaf that falls off the tree
Fulfill my wishes and cleanse my sorrows
Hear my prayers and calls for justice
Rewards to those who to me were fair
Smote my enemies, show no mercy
No chances given, yet none taken

The crow's cries shake the silence
Vultures circle a coming scavengers' feast
Let not the spirit of vengence rest
Slay my oppressors, let them not survive
Give me not a weapon, my servant
But take my sword, and throw my spear

Spill the blood and drink it
Taste the blood, savour it
Do not waste it, life it gives
Victory is close at hand, hear the dragons roar!
Prepare the funeral pyres, light the fires
Feast on the flesh, and devour the souls
