Subnivium
Here I stand at the chasm's edge Staring down the abyss before my feet It's calling out to me Abandon hope all ye who enter here This lonely path I tread Has taken me so deep I can't remember what it felt like Not to live in constant fear And I wonder Can it be worthwhile To press on? (Can I be) Radiant, Radiant And learn to fly? Can I be radiant? Can I move beyond the past I left behind? No one's holding my leash now Free to swear my own vow I'll take to thе skies My world disintegrated As I lookеd into the rotten core Understanding so much more But feeling not the least bit wise So sure I'd reached my end But standing up once more I've stumbled and I've fallen But somehow I find the strength to rise (Radiant, Radiant) And learn to fly I'm radiant and I'll show them all, they'll never see me cry No one's holding my leash now Free to swear my own vow I'll take to the skies Radiant I've learned to fly I'm radiant and I'm soaring, oh I'm soaring so high Radiant, Radiant Touch the sky I'm radiant and I've broken free, there's nothing left to hide No one's holding my leash now Free to swear my own vow I'll take to the sky Take to the sky Take to the sky Radiant

The legions awake The bloodlust rising now Crying to death to all who disagree tonight The legions embrace Their xenophobia Bringing bigotry and malice to the fight And if they come for me, sword and spear in hand I will be there in a chariot of iron And I will never yield The face of the monster has now been revealed And I'm not playing nice As you pray for your god to return and kill me twice As all your plans slip through your hands I'll watch as you forever fail When iron chariots prevail The legions crusade To dominate all lands Crying death to all who won't submit tonight The legions await Their tyrant lord's return To bring victory and lead them in the fight And if he comes for me on a bloodstained horse I will be there in a chariot of iron And I will never yield The face of the monster has now been revealed And I'm not playing nice As you pray for your god to return and kill me twice As all your plans slip through your hands I'll watch as you forever fail When iron chariots prevail And if they come for me, sword and spear in hand I will be there in a chariot of iron And I will never yield The face of the monster has now been revealed And I'm not playing nice As you pray for your god to return and kill me twice As all your plans slip through your hands I'll watch as you forever fail When iron chariots prevail When iron chariots prevail

I am my vow Yielding to nothing I was ordered to hold In a fight that could never be won Men and gods shall behold That I am not yet done And my god is gone My burden is my own And I would take your pain Lifting the weight off of your soul And I would hold your grief Finding a way to make you whole Look at me now Leader of nothing And I once knew my role Now I don't know what I will become Failure crushing my soul But I am not yet done And my god is gone My burden is my own Let this end This futitily You've been fighting for three hundred thousand years Let these memories guide your way homе And I would take your pain Lifting the weight off of your soul And I would hold your griеf Finding a way to make you whole And I would take your pain Lifting the weight off of your soul And I would hold your grief Finding a way to make you whole You've been fighting for three hundred thousand years Let these memories guide your way home

Lashing out, a tongue like sharpened steel Numb my mind, I can’t feel Call to shadow, there’s nothing left to say What lies beneath and hides until the armor falls away? I survive, but have I fallen far? Wounds won’t hurt once they scar I hate you all Every face a mirror to my own A heart like shattered stone

I am the hand of empire An extension of will The person I was lives In my memory still My purpose is greater I won’t be the same, my title my name The hand of empire Is armed for war Finding once more the struggle we face Each day this side of death’s dark gate Just to predict the shape of our lives And wrest control of our own fate Facing one more the struggle within we wait Nothing can stop this empire As it ever expands The path I have chosen Has left blood on my hands My mission completed A tyrant released, and terror unleashed I serve this empire But what have I done

As the shock begins to fade Through the gate, have I come too late? All the change one moment’s made Tangled threads that weave our fate, I can feel the weight And beneath the ice and snow the stars burn bright Here beneath the ice and snow the stars burn bright And a river runs through all things So it seems, don’t know what it means All the change the river brings Tributaries, branching streams running through my dreams And beneath the ice and snow the stars burn bright Down below where none should go the stars burn brightest for me now And we are the broken Why are we the broken? Here beneath the ice and snow the stars burn bright All my life I’ve known The winter makes us pure When the ice wind blows The strongest will endure The world is harsh and cold The broken can’t survive When the ice wind blows The strong are left alive But all that I believed to be this world’s hard truths Were just excuses all along And deep inside I’ve known I must possess some flaw When the moment comes I’ll never see the thaw And I accept my fate It’s how it has to be When the moment came It did not come for me And I don’t know how I can change this world’s hard truths But how could I not even try So we stand in the ruins of the past, behold the sight You will see how the broken fight to survive And we stand in the wreckage of the war, we are not done Even though we may never see the sun, we will thrive To turn and face the broken ones To leap without a thought when the moment comes

An empire crumbles, a dark god ascends This terrible dream never ends When the nightmare awakens and walks in the day And centuries pass under tyranny's reign Must every last hope be in vain? But the tyrant's grip weakens and weapons decay So cast you slurs and wage your war that you will never win When the future arrives and leaves you behind, feel the fear within And so it begins, the еnd of an age My teeth are clenchеd, and my fists tremble As I contain my rage For all of the lost an anthem resounds My heart is raw, and my voice shakes I am untethered A specter of dark ages past rears its head A vision of horror and dread When the legions awaken and summon its name The towering beast starts to stumble and sway It's standing on feet made of clay But the monster brings mayhem and pain just the same So cast your stones and fan your flames, this truth you cannot face That the future belongs to all you've oppressed but could not erase And so it begins And so it begins, the end of an age My teeth are clenched, and my fists tremble As I contain my rage For all of the lost an anthem resounds My heart is raw, and my voice shakes I am untethered And so it begins, the end of an age My teeth are clenched, and my fists tremble As I contain my rage For all of the lost an anthem resounds My heart is raw, and my voice shakes I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds

(Dragon) Once you scorned me, now let’s put those words to the test Or surrender and finally we can just put this all to rest Know that once you refuse, there’s no turning back (Turin) Even now I will stand, defiant to the end Come, you thrall and you worm How could I miss this chance? I have spent my whole life Living in shadows of curses and misfortune One way or another it ends tonight Here I made a new start Still you have found me This must have been my fate Down from the moment I was born (Dragon) Now at last your story’s at an end Bloodstained hero, did you think you could escape From all the (Turin) Sins I have committed Every tragedy endured It all comes down to this moment The end of my road Fate be my judge and doom guide my hand You know as well as I that this will be the final stand There’s poison in your words and steel at my side Despair thy charm, the hour has come at last It’s time to roll the dice (Dragon) Now at last your story’s at an end Bloodstained hero, did you think you could escape From all the (Turin) Sins I have committed Every tragedy endured It all comes down to this moment The end of my road (Turin) I have left behind such Death and destruction Such ruin for all who have come too close To my misery Here I’ll make such an end To be worthy of memory And they will sing about this night Long after I am gone (Dragon) Is it truly so hard to understand Damnation is no dark lord’s curse It’s all your own You’ve brought this on yourself No hand has intervened We just sat back to watch you fail But at least you never failed To disappoint (Turin) But all the sins I had committed, Every tragedy endured It all comes back In this moment The sins I have committed, Every tragedy endured I still can’t tell, Was it worth it? The end of my road The end of the road
