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
