Track Insight / Lyrics
Sanguine stains on the cobblestone
Sown in dirt where the wind has blown
I touch the moss on a jagged wall
Watching the heavy droplets fall
Gargoyles watch from the velvet height
Casting shadows in the iron light
Roots of the city, deep and cold
Stories of hunger, stories untold
Aconitum grows in the narrow crack
Tracing the path that will not lead back
I prune the thorns with a steady hand
Stranger inside of a dying land
Gargoyles watch from the velvet height
Casting shadows in the iron light
Roots of the city, deep and cold
Stories of hunger, stories untold
Hellebore blooms in a shade of red
Feeding the ghosts of the restless dead
I speak in Latin to a withered vine
Asking the earth for a holy sign
Gargoyles watch from the velvet height
Casting shadows in the iron light
Roots of the city, deep and cold
Stories of hunger, stories untold
Stone wings are heavy and carved in grey
Waiting for light of a distant day
The soil is thick with a copper scent
Where every soul has been broken and bent
Digging deep in the salted clay
Wash the grime of the night away
Patient heart in a garden of dread
Waiting for the last word to be said
Digitalis by the temple gate
Patience is only a form of fate
I tend the garden of Yharnam town
While the great spires are tumbling down
Gargoyles watch from the velvet height
Casting shadows in the iron light
Roots of the city, deep and cold
Stories of hunger, stories untold
Stone and soil, blood and bone
I will walk this midnight street alone
