Epoch Of Unlight - Quicksilver To Ash lyrics

Fire! Daubed in darkest night A pulsing brush of Vermillion Spanning earth to sky Sired! In molten flames of biting rock From the earth within A show of force unleashed on all Serpentine the river flows slowly through crag and cleft Consuming fallen trees over the shallow ledge Ever moving in a measured pace down argentite slopes Adding to the sliding shale over centuries untold Emblazed on a darker canvas, the dissolution of light Scattered on the northern gale, swept away in a sea.... a sea of black (ash) Ash to ash, and so the path is mottled in the cooling night The slaggy trail of scoria atop the molten core Smoke and fumes issued forth far below the cliff Engulfing all from talus low to spire high Entropic acceleration, a pyrogenic demise Racing ever forward with granite seas aflame burning high... burning into night Gone! And where were those that lie in wait? Based aside base in tribute to colossus Where dwelled the foolish few... Supplicant life spent in the pulsing shadow Of enthralling force to abyssal to pursue As in turn it now pursues A cleansing conflagration for all who may descry Purging the tenantry of light. Serpentine the river flows slowly through crag and cleft Consuming fallen trees over the shallow ledge Ever moving in a measured pace down argentite slopes Adding to the sliding shale over centuries untold Emblazed on a darker canvas, the dissolution of light Scattered on the northern gale, swept away in a sea, a sea of black ash
