Summer's End Lyrics

In the morning mist by the waning moon Through the woods she set on foot With a sacred blade cut the berries down Dug up the dreaded mandrake root
Tread my path to summer's end "This bequest I leave you", she says You will see what could be evergreen Turn to copper and fade to gray
By the standing stones Atropine eyes smiled at me Sitting in a sluggish vertigo Sands of time form another dream
No love without sacrifice No liege springs without decay The final kiss is a wormy one In soils cold caress to rest we'll lay, to rest we'll lay
Tread my path to summer's end "This bequest I leave you", she says You will see what could be evergreen Turn to copper and fade to gray
