Elephant - Istar Bleeds lyrics

A seven-spired temple rising in splendor The might of Istar in a sky of white gold The majesty of the holiest city on Krynn The chosen of the gods lost in their own light A clergy corrupted by Manifest Virtue Enslave and exterminate all evil races All contrary thoughts shall be punished by d**h For the Kingpriest to control the will of the ma** The paranoid despot, persecuted by shadows Desires to rule in glory as the truth of Paladine The exalted ascent of his high eminence An insolent ultimatum prompted his doom Demanding in his pride What can only be sought in humility Now the true clerics have left the land The day of the Cataclysm dawns silent Calamity turns to chaos And the pale blue eyes of the Kingpriest reveal a weary frightened man Ripping through the sulfurous air A terrible resounding ruin Judgment came from The Ancient Gods When the fiery mountain fell Istar bleeds A nightmare of weeping, sadness and despair The teeming fields of summer lie shattered on the ocean floor Covered by the mercy of the waves
