Afterglow

The sun is falling down, Light of heaven has declined, Downward falling, ending this day In vast smoke and blazing fire. The surface trembling With fear of what’s to come. Chaos spreads the water, In hunger the deep ocean roars. Ingesting the sun, Darkness feasts on the daylight. Clouds of smoke Is discovering the earth and waves. A spiral from the darkened flame. The sun keeps falling, Swallowed by the sea, Rushing through the water. Sinking ever deeper, Diluted flame of the skies Shattering the ocean floor. The passage to the core. Fire and ocean, Earth and sky collides. Fire clashes with water, Leaving the canopy Without its brightest light. Fire and ocean, Earth and sky collides Fire clashes with water, Leaving the canopy Without its brightest light Extinct star penetrates the ground, Crushing towards the center of the earth. The flickered out fire of hope devoured By the darkness of the underworld. Fire and ocean, Earth and sky collides Fire clashes with water, Leaving the canopy Without its brightest light Fire and ocean, Earth and sky collides Fire clashes with water, Leaving the canopy Without its brightest light

No light can survive forever. The absent sun left a hole in the sky, Clutching to the hungering waves. Empty the throne of the father star, Empty and vast is the sky. Dragged to the sea by the great below, Leaving the world to eternal night. No flame burns forever, No glory lasts. Under siege by the night, And so the day falls defeated. The fire that burn has faded, Faded away from the sky. Eternal shadows drown the land, The moon new ruler of the day. Vast and still is the ocean, Great devourer of the above. The king of stars is dead, Struck by the dagger of night. A grinning mist rules the surface, The father of stars has fallen. No one has traveled this far, An emptiness with no horizon. The king has fallen. Struck by the dagger of the cold night The father of stars has fallen A grinning mist rules the surface The one king of stars is dead No flame burns forever No glory lasts Under siege by the night (Under siege by the night) And so the day falls defeated The king of stars is dead, Struck by the dagger of night A grinning mist rules the surface, The father of stars has fallen No one has traveled this far, An emptiness with no horizon (The king!) The king has fallen

Faded body of stone, Cracking shell of the earth. Fallen giant of sky, Entering a realm of ancient fire. The sleeping ashes of old, Awakened by the fallen sky. Rising from rest, The ritual flame, Reviving the sun – reviving the sun with new power. The howling fires will burn Through the heart of stone. A new king will rise Through the ash and soot. Dancing ritual flames, Calling the sun, calling the sun back to life. A new dawn will come, Let the new star rise, With the unclean fire. To reclaim the throne of the skies. Ashen crown. Let the new star rise To reclaim the throne Coronated again With the ashen crown. Let his heart forever burn (let his heart) Let his heart forever burn... Forever a burning heart, Flame of eternal pyre. Fallen giant of the sky, Set to reach the surface. Let the new star rise To reclaim the throne of the skies Coronated again With the ashen crown of timeless Let his heart forever burn Never shall rest

A tower of flames and fire carries the newborn sun Above was once his home, from below now rises to the heavenly throne A tower of fire and flame carries the newborn sun Above was once his home, from below now rises to the throne Lost the path so long ago, left the past into hiding The new light is cold and casting shadows that linger Red light gushes over land and sea, opening a floodgate of iniquity To reconquer this fading earth, the below rises to the above Creeping upon us all, feasting on the sanity of man The insurrectionary ascending the canopy A new domain, bedarkened by the emperor. The emperor, the emperor, the emperor Below rise to the above Creeping upon us all, feasting on the sanity of man The insurrectionary ascending the canopy A new domain All bow down! Bedarkened by the emperor Bedarkened by the emperor All bow down! For this is a new age The fire of death is among us now

The incarnation of Hades. Sailing a crimson river. Governing the newborn earth. Behold the tormentor’s creation. Sculptures of ember In the afterglow gallery. In the midst of perdition Lies the voyagers’ path. With the aid of the shadows In hiding, the legion withdraws A barren fate In the hands of the keeper Behold the tormentor’s creation Sculptures of ember In the afterglow gallery In the midst of perdition Lies the voyagers’ path
