THE AFTERGLOW OF WHAT MAY LIE AHEAD
|
TAINTED WITH SO DEEP A RED
|
WITH SPARKS OF BLACK SHINING DIM
|
IN WHIRLING WINDS, SO TENDER, SO GRIM
|
SOULS ENTANGLED IN THE BRANCHES OF A DEAD TREE
|
SHATTERED DREAMS OF ONCE BEING FREE
|
SHINY WINGS ACROSS THE SILVERY MOON
|
DESCENDING UNTO THE TORTURED EARTH SOON
|
TAKE ME UP, I'M NOT WILLING TO STAY
|
AND CARRY, CARRY ME FAR AWAY
|
WHEN LEATHERY WINGS WITH GRACE CARESS
|
I'LL SOON BE REBORN IN DARKNESS...
|
SO WHERE ARE YOU HEADING TO NOW, BLACKEST OF ALL
|
WHOSE MADNESS CAN'T BE CALMED
|
BY ANY SECRET UNKNOWN REVEALED?
|
YOUR PRIDE A GLORIOUS HALO RADIATING LIKE THE DYING SUN
|
OVER THE NEVER ENDING DESERTS.
|
YOUR STRENGTH OF AIR, WATER, EARTH,
|
AND THE ALL CONSUMING FIRE.
|
AND YOUR DESPERATE BEAUTY IN THE EYES OF THE WILD...
|
THE FALLACY OF REVELATION,
|
OF CREATING A "BEAST"
|
SO DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE KNOW OF YOU
|
ENSTRANGED VISIONS WILL NEVER
|
ENTER OUR HEARTS DEDICATED TO YOU
|
SHATTERED LIES WHO DOES NOT KNOW
|
SHATTERED BY HIS OWN CREATION,
|
ILLUSION COME TRUE
|
THE NIGHT IS OURS, THE NIGHT,
|
THE PALE MOON, AND THE STAR DESERT
|
PATHS THROUGH ICY MOUNTAINS
|
AND OVER BROKEN BRIDGES
|
GUIDED BY THE RADIATING LIGHT
|
NO ONE THERE TO FOLLOW WHO
|
DOES NOT FEEL
|
WHAT DRIVES US ON AND ON
|
BUT WILL BE LOST IN ETERNITY
|
THESE PATHS CAN ONLY
|
BE PASSED BY US
|
ALONE
|
THE NIGHT IS OURS, THE NIGHT,
|
THE PALE MOON, AND THE STAR DESERT
|
AS WE'VE BEEN CROUCHING
|
IN DARKEST PLACES FOR MILLENIUMS,
|
NOT TO BE SEEN BY THE MORTAL EYE...
|
AS WE'VE BEEN WITNESSING STARS DYING
|
AND SNOW COVERING ANY TRACES ONE MIGHT HAVE LEFT...
|
AS WE'VE REMAINED IN THE SHADOW'S EMBRACE BY NIGHT
|
WE'VE BEHELD A WORLD IN WHICH WE NEVER BELONGED
|
WE'VE KEPT OUR MYSTERIES IN OBSCURITY
|
OUR WORLDS OF THOUGHT AND EMOTION
|
OUR WISDOM AND MAGIC,
|
THE TRULY TRAGIC EXISTENCE IN THESE REALMS...
|
...WE ALWAYS KNEW THAT THIS
|
WOULD END
|
WE AWAIT OUR REBIRTH IN DARKNESS.
|
ETERNAL DARKNESS...
