The Devil's Orchard Lyrics

The actual lyrics from the booklet are:

This trail is obsidian, the grip of Winter uncoiled A lover would follow me Cast down and sworn to the dark

Take the road where devils speak: "God is dead"

The wealth of darkness Inside you, telling you "now" Your senses corrupted Controlling a poisonous will

Take the road where devils speak: "God is dead"

In the corner of my eye You are tearing flesh from bone

Led the blind in search to find A pathway to the sun Saw the signs intertwine And forgave me all my sins

No stigmas revealing your vices And there are no stigmas revealing our vices

God is dead

Personally I think it's about schizophrenia (using demonic possession as a metaphor), but who knows.
