Divine Council

Winds of time I command thee Once forsaken in this shadowed world Conquered by my own self Once again I shall rise Strength forged in iron Candle burns slowly once again Patience is lost key Mortality the greatest gift Wind screams my name Consumed by powers— Beyond comprehension My sentence revoked— Deeds of a past life Shadows still hide beneath me Watching every move Waiting for this moment to strike The fires from the deep They yearn for me Longing for this moment for centuries Now this gift may seem like a curse Drawn into the deep caverns Begging for a merciful end My eternal torment Those once-lost souls To be found once more Or destined to walk alone The fires from the deep They yearn for me Longing for this moment for centuries Now this gift may seem like a curse As Time pushes and pulls These fortunes will overwhelm Past failures come to the light To be pushed into the depths once more

Our torment unending The guilt we feel consuming This way cannot be sustained Fires have been burning too long We look for guidance—yet it is all around Always taking the easy path The convenient path Enslaving ourselves in the process Forever blaming higher powers Never looking to ourselves for solutions What end will become of us Spending our whole lives informed Always choosing to turn a blind eye Always waiting for someone else to solve our problems Always pointing the finger of blame towards another Enslaving ourselves in the process Forever blaming higher powers Never looking to ourselves for solutions What end will become of us Spending our whole lives informed Always choosing to turn a blind eye This one won't go away Burying our heads won't solve a thing Future generations will look down on us in shame

Great plagues ravage nations Our weak attempts at control Nature's power will always prevail Our final day soon to arrive Awakening to this resolve Looking forth through cold dead eyes It's time to watch the empire burn March willingly into the void Extinction shall be the last event Evolution has now gone too far All knowing that this day would come The watchers have grown tired of us Time for this sphere to regenerate Populous reaching its expiration A world divided and locked in conflict Our time has run its course Discover and destroy This has always been our way In empty fields we walk Watching as we fade We are the cause The great cancer of this world A glimpse at our future foretold No trace will be left of us Dust pile where our cities once stood Recovery now complete Cycle set to begin Discover and destroy This has always been our way In empty fields we walk Watching as we fade We are the cause The great cancer of this world A glimpse at our future foretold Great plagues ravage nations Our weak attempts at control Nature's power will always prevail Our final day soon to arrive

Strength needs to be forged in iron To survive in this ice-cold wasteland Coherent thoughts cease to arrive Intoxicated by the light's reflection Monumental like the ocean's tide Bloodred trailing all in its path Fires burn stronger on approach As if the sun itself has come to us Our treachery soon to be forgotten History shall be erased for all The sins of the past will perish Never again to see the light of day Once-great towers amount to nothing Defenceless now it seems Our guardians have retreated Left to our own demise Our frozen giants will surely crumble This is our fate now Our failures come to light Fires burn stronger on approach As if the sun itself has come to us Our treachery soon to be forgotten History shall be erased for all The sins of the past will perish Never again to see the light of day Once-great towers amount to nothing The keys of wisdom now to retire The prophet's word was bond Forced into a great slumber

Formed beneath our surface Lying dormant for years Undisturbed and waiting Why did we feel the need To unearth and awaken As this giant slept we prospered Once awakened there's no turning back Our curiosity was too strong Once discovered, our needs grew Growing stronger than ever so we thought Slowly starting to feel its wrath In the beginning it was subtle When will our time end—our reign supreme We watched over it all and took more than we need Some things are better untouched Don't put the fire in my hands Nothing sacred it seems Soon to dwell below To unearth and awaken As this giant slept we prospered Once awakened there's no turning back Our curiosity was too strong When will our time end—our reign supreme We watched over it all and took more than we need Some things are better untouched Don't put the fire in my hands Nothing sacred it seems Soon to dwell below

Oppressed by our own hands No pity shall we seek Dark silence takes control We fear the deepest depths of our self Solitude speaks truth to us In isolation see with open eyes Anxiously awaiting judgement For we know not the outcome Insomnia holds us hostage No strength to be found In this dreamlike existence We fear what lay ahead Becoming a ghost of what we once were The shelter in silence The empty shells of men We thought we had traveled so far Solitude speaks truth to us In isolation see with open eyes Anxiously awaiting judgement For we know not the outcome Insomnia holds us hostage No strength to be found In this dreamlike existence We fear what lay ahead Becoming a ghost of what we once were The shelter in silence The empty shells of men We thought we had traveled so far In this dreamlike existence We fear what lay ahead Becoming a ghost of what we once were The shelter in silence The empty shells of men We thought we had traveled so far The towers crumble In this fragile earthly state
