[Lyrics: LoSicco '98]
|
|
Caught within the scenes of time the warrior wakes again to find
|
A prologue set by twilight rays through the breaking dawn
|
A dawn unlike no other dawn as backdrop to proscenium
|
The cursed cycle starts anew Himself "cast" down as lead
|
On his feet a legend and on his throne a lord
|
Bathed in crimson glory so the centuries have foretold
|
The advent of the day when pale untruths shall be no more
|
Usurping the hands of Fate
|
Now to leave the dismal place and setting eastward the course he takes
|
Skirts alongside the stagnant pond whose waters swirl with taint
|
[For]</i> Within the fetid mists and foul decay which on the natatorium lay
|
The source of evils yet to be lie in wait
|
Further east and all the while
|
His grand design is planned
|
Obscuration of the light <i>[when]</i> the balance is destroyed
|
Ushering the epoch of the splendorous Unlight
|
":And so I set forth my mind resolute and might
|
unchecked to rend my will upon the world.
|
With centuries to prepare for the final battle
|
and the glory that awaits in every drop of life:"
|
Lust forever, lust for life,
|
A lust Unmatched in human kind
|
Fueled by such desires
|
As may mold flesh to my want
|
"Beauty as Might, and Might as Right"
|
So seduced the lord
|
From wanton whores the bloodsons came
|
In legion issued forth
|
Cursed for all eternity
|
As seen by another also condemned
|
Before the final blow is dealt
|
What will be has been!
|
:Too late the error revealed. The unparalleled pride of the ancient one
|
now splintered through all the ages. With glory for one the ideal is lost,
|
as is the war:
|
Gone is the path to victory besmeared by consanguine wars
|
Arrogance in the sons that I was fated to ignore
|
For a greater lust that by design will never sate
|
An all-consuming hunger unified by blackened hate
|
A pause to look upon the world before I am reborn
|
:A brilliant flash of light and the One Great Truth revealed
|
The pain of clarity just seconds before oblivion and the slate
|
is again wiped clean
|
Where one time ends, another begins
|
Caught within the scenes of Time:
|
|
-----------------
|
What Will Be Has Been
|
| Epoch Of Unlight |
