Dawnbringer
Album • 2012
Up on the seaside Gaze down at the waves below Standing so strong and high but my Spirits so low What now for a warrior? Cry out in the burning light I’m feeling the fire but I Can’t find my fight So where is the glory Who sings my name Like heroes before me Proclaimed From the horizon The sun now speaks to me: You’re just a simple man and that’s All that you’ll be Your courage is foolish Forget those dreams of fame No triumphs await you so just Find a new way Silence you bastard I know my way Into the ocean Away Perfect water Silence in waves Quiet as a grave Enter darkness Take a deep breath My destiny is death And so it is done I am the one To murder the sun

I’m the one you never thought would come for you You say I’m just a simple man Soon you will discover that’s no longer true As you’re dying by my hand Spirit hunter With fire in my heart Going under And now my story starts Coming toward you Your ending has begun Killer warrior Assassin of the sun I will send you to the cosmic cemetery Avenge the ugly and ashamed My aim is singular and solitary For centuries they’ll know my name Penetrating Deep under the waves Meditating On how to find a way I feel a calling And I know that I am right A star is falling I’m coming for the light

Suddenly I see a battlefield A lonely boy dressed for war The enemy gleams with their savage steel Promising slaughter like before With fear in their eyes the men start to rise for the fall The battle begins and terror sets in for them all The lonely boy soon meets his fate A deep wound from a deadly blade And as he falls down to the dust Smelling blood and tasting rust He knows no help will come All alone his life is done And as the dream is ending He’s calling out my name Into the lair of the sun god Into the lair of the sun god Into the lair of the sun god Into the lair of the sun god
She’s just a haunted woman They look away from her She understands their silent curse They say she knows the devil Invites him in her home But she’s not evil, just alone I watch her wander slowly All through her darkened house It seems there’s one else about But then I see a flicker A flame runs down the floor And someone’s slipping out the door She looks to my direction With sorrow in her eyes She gives no confession Silent as she dies Now she’s gone The fire takes her home My vision fades in flames And another dream is done

I am not alone now You’re lying next to me But you’ve got very old now And you’re dying I can see You don’t know I’m with you Diseased and deaf and blind And although you can’t see me There’s still sadness in your eyes Because I know you remember How it feels to be free But for now and forever In darkness you’ll be Looking for me I can’t believe you Too sick to say goodbye And when I come this way again I won’t find you alive Now I see your lips move You’re praying for death Here comes your answer To seal up your breath Oh no!

I stand amazed and watch your spirit rise A constellation over me And now the boy and she are at your side I hear you speak to me as three: You are the one we’ve waited for And we can lead you anywhere Our fate is in your hands Here in the sky We know the one you’re searching for And we can help you follow him But if you go and fail Then we all die You’ve lost your peaceful life Become a man of violence Your pride is lethal But your journey is long I start to reach my knife They see and sense my loyalty We died for you and we will Carry you on Carry you on We are disciples of the sun We are disciples of the sun We know the way up to the sun So we will take you to the sun My ghostly guides align and start to travel on A sea of black surrounds us all Now left alone I realize all my fear is gone I meditate on glory’s call For soon a hero will return The kind of man your spirit yearns My time is now Up above the clouds I will destroy the sun that burns
Return from oblivion Alone once again On a shore of shadows With a storm coming in Have I come to conquer Or is this hell? A lightning flash Seems to tell The ghosts are gone I must go on How will I know? Where will I go? Just down the shoreline A stairway of stone Did I take it here? Will I take it home? Like a mountain before me It rises high Cuts through the clouds Up to the sky I reach the stairs And look up there And in my sights There burns a light With blade in hand I understand Up toward the glow I climb the stones

Into the chamber Into the lair I see a sad old man Just standing there Feels like I know him He looks in my eyes And as he starts to speak I lower the knife I know all about you I know all your fears I knew you as a child And why you think you’re here You think you can kill me But you don’t have a plan It won’t be much longer now Til you understand So now you’ve found your failure Stand down and try to swallow your shame Cause you have no power Just anger and pride Strong on the surface But hollow inside You won’t be a hero It was not meant to be But you had one last chance I wish you had seen

As he takes the blade He shows no pain The light starts to fade And suddenly his face is mine Now he starts to cry He bows his head Starts to say goodbye And all the light is washed away As I sink to my destiny Filled with water and grief So damn deep was my vanity That the sun god was me Three ghosts are now doomed to be All abandoned by me And my life ends in tragedy At the bottom of the sea
