Mind swirling high above
Yearning beyond
Yet those shackles you created sink deep
Thoughts locked in a d**h grip
Beaten and battered
Thrown against the walls
Of the worlds that bind us
To flesh to remain
Long has your gaze searched
Wandered through the skies
For anything to reflect
The fading shine of your life onto
Lingered here wondering
Whether any of the misery
Came even close to bear a trace
Of what could be seen divine
Withering mortality
Revival faced only in flames
Stand the ground resolute
Whatever fate there may befall
In this end-time masquerade
By the rule of those of might
Old faiths to be lost
Through embers red our paths will cross
Witness these pyres
Gather the will to burn
With splendour seen by none
For a thousand human lifetimes
The sons of ages past
Share a breath of that same
Strength in ashes
In the air and on our tongues
Luminous apparitions
Emerge and point the way
From which we could uncover
The secrets of our own d**hs
Withering, entering the blazing flames
Stand the ground resolute
Whatever fate there may befall
In this end-time masquerade
By the rule of those of might
Old faiths to be lost
Through embers red our paths will cross
A spark ignited through heart and the core
You’ll know yourself by the fresh spilt blood
A blade transfixed through heart and the core
And now even the undying night will die
Withering mortality
Revival faced only in flames
Stand the ground resolute
Whatever fate there may befall
In this end-time masquerade
By the rule of those of might
Old faiths to be lost
Through embers red our paths will cross
