When Autumnstorms Come

When Autumnstorms Come
Nightchildren bring my words
Howling them through the dark
The time is here for my return
With the shadows i walk
Twilight shrouds the earth
As always when i'm here
Night spreads her wings for me
They call me father

I have come to reap

Flowers wither where i walk
Dying of my caress
Summer sheds her tears
As i kiss her to her death
Pulling her dying remains
Into my cold embrace
No more colours but mine
Exquisite and foul are they

I grant you my dead seed

My heart is made of thorns
I spread my frost as a monument of my rebirth
I bear stormwinds in my soul
And i scatter these storms to enslave the earth

Autumn is my name
