Rise - Hymnus Obscurum - Anthem of Darkness lyrics

The ancestral terror of immortal myth The darkness is the wisdom and warfare Sprung forth like that eastern goddess From the head of ancient man The path back to relics Is shrouded by lore of shadowed trees The fear of shaded holtes hore Journey fast through Eddaic dreams Stare long enough into the abyss To behold its darkening gaze This is an anthem to that unknown The river Styx runs legend The fates cut only fabled threads This pledge is to that mystery Growing in chronicles dead Behold the wrath of imagination The ancestral terror of immortal myth This anthem is to mortal invention Behold the vengeance of man's mind As he gazes deep into the abyss As he runs erect towards the heavens As he traces demons within the umbra Bear witness to the rise of man As he tears down heaven A creation of earthly lore Standing triumphant over holtes hore Solo: James Murphy Solo: Istvan
