Death of Magic
04:23

wrong doing and mischief was his crime he would watch while others stood in line pray to those that would keep him safe laugh while others burned at the stake
master of his magic this man has no name fearful for the future fearful for their gain
sorcerer
they said the healer had gone bad taken all that he had for himself
seasoned witch
fear of his acts rising up to a fever pitch
frightened by the things he could not see types of truths he knows would set them free supernatural sorcery
his death brings new life to fantasy
reading of the hammer brings them little peace no cure for enchanters knowledge their disease
reading of the hammer brings them little peace
for one day.....
hunted and reluctant
consumed by judgement and panic brought the death to magic
the unfortunate mystic
with his idealistic and naive ways
hunted and reluctant
consumed by judgement and panic brought the death
no one could’ve been braver
their forsaken saviour
he is the one (burning like the sun)
and he is reluctant
consumed by judgement and panic brought the death of magic

mistakes are made
by fools who pray
in the dark for the babe
in the hopes that you’ll find him by the river
unbaptised and brave to their watery grave
trying to find that which
directs you away from their lair
yeah the river wild
Rowan, run along my child
three ladies wait withravenhair
at the edge their legs wet
in the hopes that you’ll find them there
unbaptised and brave
to their watery grave
tried to find that which
directs you away from their lair
yeah that river wild
Rowan, run along my child
from their reach, from that beach where you once smiled
yeah you know the rivers wild
relying on your impulses
endless corruption with the changing tides those loveless hallucinations
that terrorize
and soon their grip is gonna take you under past the point of no return
forgotten and out numbered
and left to burn
x2
the pathway to your damnation fearthemaidens
good intentions
cause for concern
soon you will learn treacherous bathing you’ll need saving
hang back in the trees from infantile fantasies

you can try and get some cover
you can try to get yourself inside
when it's time for you to finally face the facts you know you’re gonna go pay the piper there ain't no place
that you can hide
you can try and read the signs
of all the wreckage that's been left behind
nothing you can do is ever gonna change minds of the ones who built their castles on your ruins
too little too late now
it's been laid on the line
when it's time for you to finally face the facts
you know you’re gonna have to go and pay the piper there ain't no place that you can hide
go now to my holy place
I am the one
who fights this unholy of wars my flesh and my blood
will rise up off the floor
arms are tired and weak
and yet my bones will bring the mightiest power you’re not the judge of me in this final hour
in my hour
when it's time for you to finally face the facts
you know you’re going to have to go and pay the piper there ain't no place
that you can hide
(can’t hide)

Huntress

for a woman she’s got the damndest needs in you she’ll confide
her laundry list of evil deeds the more than happy to abide
for her disease is burning straight through you a hole so black it’ll take your soul
and never give it back
the type of lady’s got some dangerous charm she’s always looking for the kill
she makes time stop with a twist of her arm she’ll make you bend to her will
for her disease is burning straight through you what huntress sees its not meant for you
with your broken love and sunken eyes it won’t take you long to realize
meet her at the altar in you desperate state meet her at the altar and seal your fate
beg her to open up those wicked gates kneel down at the alter
and commiserate x2

when blood’s alive to fool the stars its not enough for me
darkened skies from above
your passage guaranteed
journeys long, sky is low
and the moon is full
not yet knowing
a mind unbroken, begins to suffer soon
the lonely shore that wraps around will never lead you home
the hidden that you seek
is better left alone
separate a fearful mind when you start of running at the sword, hysteria
is gonna get you nothin
the eye on the mountain is clear the serpent ignites the fire
that opens a limitless light thats broken once it's alive
when all of your fortune has come to take over
little bit wiser, little bit older will you look for protection or rejoice in the reign
or cry as I watch you fade away
when blood’s alive to fool the stars there’s not enough for me
darker skies from above
no passage guaranteed
journeys long, sky is low
and the moon is full
keep on going, keep on going cause I’m going soon
too careless to throw away or just fade away

MAN
suspended in air
the world prepares to let him down the sacrifice of taking time
knows no bounds
often marked the martyr of death for giving up when giving up for the higher cause
aint enough
you’ll watch him hang, watch him die
you’ll watch him hang, accepting what is you’re turning vulnerable by fighting against
not looking past the obvious of what you see
a disastrous consequence of what could be
the foolish man that sells himself when bound by sin
is better off receiving, then finding the knowledge within
you’ll watch him hang, watch him die
the blood on your hands opens his eyes you’ll watch him hang, accepting what is you’re turning vulnerable by fighting against
beware the ones that fear for you and let fate run its course
so let them weep and mourn for you and hide when darkness falls
x2
inherent helpless for a life that’s listless
x2
beware the ones that fear for you and let fate run its course
so let them weep and mourn for you and hide when darkness falls

Safe Return

smells of wet leather
and wings without feathers are locked in the room
from countless endeavours these curious treasures light up with the moon
how scattered the prize so precious, so fine
too good to ignore
all those boxes exist
sweet amethyst
and there’s still room for more
hundred years gone by
all I have is encased
I remember the time you came for my curious ways
but not before I tried
to keep them in their place
wooden doors are left open the long lost has spoken
of its fabled throne
triumphant unrest
as the stories suggest of the great tupelo
dusty skulls hang up high
rusty railroad ties are piled on the floor
hundred years gone by
all I have is encased
I remember the time you came for my curious ways
but not before I tried
to keep them in their place
taking off running
your pale star is coming
and soon it blooms over the sea
a haunted collection
a furious spectrum
is hidden and kept far away
sharpness, not weakness will help you see through this and keep you from turning too fast
despite all your hopes
you are pulled by the ghost
and fall through the looking glass
all the weary and desperate
come the day, you’ll manage
find a world that shelters you offer and reveal the truth
and when you find your safe return a wild wind will blow you in towards a fire that doesn’t burn
so keep pushing on, wanderer
collection near complete
my pockets are full
my deep roots will awaken me gonna carry me home

Holy Grove is a band of true believers―blurring the lines between classic heavy metal, doom, and prog, unafraid to take

The band has supported the likes of Yob, Wayne Kramer’s MC50, Windhand, Elder, and High On Fire, even earning a slot on the prestigious Psycho Las Vegas festival.
