[Intro]
In the throes of a fever dream
A gelding pale did ride

[Verse 1]
In the throes of a fever dream
The shell of a vagrant dog
Signs were shown and blood turned to stone
All the days were written on the wall
A crow in a rusty cage
Seven feathers fell from her breast
One for the way we would bring the final day
And six for the kings to make it so

[Chorus]
Old world departed gone and past
Light in your eyes is fading fast
Thought you awoke from a fever dream
And now you walk upon the dead

[Verse 2]
A thorn in a black elk eye
A chalice that held the sky
The water did spoil, now destined to toil
It's ringing like a broken bell
Ten thousand death head wings
On the walls of an old stone church
Cauterize the seer's eyes when the vision came to pass
Now all you hears a deathbed gasp
[Chorus]
Old world departed gone and past
Light in your eyes is fading fast
Thought you awoke from fever dream
And now you walk upon the dead
