Blackened Dawn
The dream returns I know the cold, that old familiar sting The light above, cruel facade projecting demons And though I do awaen, the phantoms stay Try as I might to forsake the dream, I am afraid Without warning comes a shattering The demons come to life The cacophony yields clarity, who am I? I'm the nightmare riding blackened wings the light come undone I'm the dark and everything it brings, I am the night Fortress for generations past, an island city awash with evil All to protect the fading line, of royalty from an age of еquals Maybe this is what I deservе, my time in hell is just my time to serve Unrelenting, unstoppable, the enemy is drawing nearer Hate be my fire Dread be my drive Fear be my weapon Hope be my legacy When night gives way to blackened dawn I find the strength to carry on The strength to carry on Ladies and gentlemen, you have eaten well, you've eaten wealth and spirit Your feast is nearly over, from this moment none of you are safe Hate be my fire Dread be my drive Fear be my weapon Hope be my legacy When night gives way to blackened dawn I find the strength to carry on From bitter day, the night returns So too the light that guides the way No heaven No hell No higher power! Just life! Just us! No higher power! Just lif! jJust us! When night gives way to blackened dawn I find the strength to carry on From bitter day, the night returns So too the light that guides the way I find the strength to carry on When night gives way to blackened dawn

Behold! The shepherd, the unforgiven Whose very presence made the kingdom of the dead grow cold I fear no gun, I fear no god Unsated, unquenched A thirst for vengeance so perfect it can't be stopped By God or mortal man No weapon sent from high command, behold! In vain their bombs sent Oh, the shells and lives spent No pale horse, just a man made to murder And hell followed with him No faith and no master Soon as above as so below No pale horse, just a man made to murder And hell followed with him Light on the hip But heavy on the soul Cast from the sword, burdens untold As the last flame fizzles out Hear the voices scream and shout No hope in sight No saving light Why won't you die Why can't you die In vain their bombs sent Oh, the shells and lives spent No pale horse, just a man made to murder And hell followed with him No faith and no master Soon as above as so below No pale horse, just a man made to murder And hell followed with him Vengeance calls Neither heaven nor hell can survive his wrath As he sets his sights on all The butcher and the saint now one and the same As destruction falls Behold No faith and no master

A paradox betrays the absolute desire It screams that chaos reigns A golden path revealed to lead us from the mire Spurred on by violent change Bless the maker and his water Bless the coming and going of him O' father of the desert Deity Quake their hearts and earth hereafter Shai-Hulud This blessed membrane rich with visions of the past Though they are not my own A fateful merging bodies shatter and dissolve Humanity atones O father of the desert Deity Quake their hearts and earth hereafter Sands of time will level mountains And drain the seas O' goliath everlasting Shai-Hulud All this ephemera; a wither blaze A fleeting blink within the eye of infinity All this ephemera; a withering blaze A fleeting blink before the God Emperor! May his passage cleanse the world May he keep the world for his people O father of the desert Deity Quake their hearts and earth hereafter Sands of time will level mountains And drain the seas O' goliath everlasting Shai-Hulud

Ill fated resurrection Holding the power in his hands Besieging the connection To become a god Who wilts and cracks the land The herald of the end Forlorn to face the chosen I seek my strength within Herein the twilight hour Cast aside my Fear of the sempiternal darkness Braving the way through the terror and debris Summon the power bestowed upon me Combined, the sword and staff entwine Beguiling in moonlight And it binds in realms alike Forlorn to face the chosen I seek my strength within Herein the twilight hour Cast aside my Fear of the sempiternal darkness No more will I cower from all I could be Summon the power bestowed By the power of Greyskull Betrayed expectation My coup des gras Unencumbered by doubt Won't succumb to the dark One more pursuit of valour One more forlorn attempt Reveal the strength possessed Raise my hand high Once more stand defiant Once more face the end Realise that deep inside I have the power! Fear of the sempiternal darkness Braving the way through the terror and debris Summon the power bestowed upon me Fear of the sempiternal darkness No more will I cower from all I could be Summon the power bestowed upon me

Recurring nightmares Endless onslaught of my madness Why won't you drag me down to hell? Swirling emotions, this cacophony of pain Nurture my hate and rage until we meet again Monsters of fantasy and flesh one and the same Accused brand, control me A sacrificial darkness Conceited greed and your hubris This pain, this scorn, this hatred sworn The night the world was torn Now but a memory Long ago I called you brother What wrought the chaos in your heart? Torn limb from limb, ripped apart Demonic talons of the hawk Ascended past humanity Your one mistake was me Swirling emotions, this cacophony of pain Nurture my hate and rage until we meet again Monsters of fantasy and flesh one and the same Accused brand, control me A sacrificial darkness Conceited greed and your hubris This pain, this scorn, this hatred sworn The night the world was torn Make no mistake my friend Mark my words, I will see you fucking torn Swirling emotions, this cacophony of pain Nurture my hate and rage until we meet again Monsters of fantasy and flesh one and the same Accused brand, control me A sacrificial darkness Conceited greed and your hubris This pain, this scorn, this hatred sworn The night the world was torn

Prosperity was never built to last for those of golden fame Wretched eternal who'd break the peace and summon forth the shattering A lord by title only possessed of tyrants will Monstrosity of mangled limbs from those who sought to kill "One day we will return together" or so the story goes Return then to a bygone era, "bathed in rays of gold" A prophecy illusory, you're anything but gold Dilution of divinity your time has come Hiding feeble hands Outstretched and grasping for power Sought through the grotesque The art of Vying for control That you may grow from the power Betray the people Become the grafted We chosen few Steel your hearts and Offer up your blades Our foe lies here beyond the gates Our time is close at hand Now make your final stand Ahh lowly Tarnished, playing as a lord Take up your sword and shield You will die or you will yield I command thee, kneel! (Bear witness) Severed limb from limb, torn asunder, thrown apart (Bear witness) Cast in mortal sin, "what was yours shall now be mine" A prophecy illusory, you're anything but gold Dilution of divinity your time has come Hiding feeble hands Outstretched and grasping for power Sought through the grotesque The art of Vying for control That you may grow from the power Betray the people Become the grafted

This one is machine and nerve And has it's mine concluded This one is but flesh and faith And is the more deluded What have we seen? What could it be? We were not prepared I can still hear their screams echoing in my head Please don't let them find me I don't want to be like them There is no clear path, losing your control Is this hope at last For when the Autumn falls, the Flood will take them all Risе to the challenge thеre must be another way Repulsive heretic and one led by the sick Push through this madness and you'll see the light of day Finish the fight Child of my enemy, why have you come? I offer no forgiveness, a father's sins passed down to the son Looming ring that lights up the sky Erasure, extinction, the great sacrifice No falter, we will survive For when the Autumn falls, the Flood will take them all Rise to the challenge there must be another way Repulsive heretic and one led by the sick Push through this madness and you'll see the light of day Finish the fight For when the Autumn falls, the Flood will take them all Rise to the challenge there must be another way Repulsive heretic and one led by the sick Push through this madness and you'll see the light of day For when the Autumn falls, the Flood will take them all Rise to the challenge there must be another way Repulsive heretic and one led by the sick Push through this madness and you'll see the light of day Finish the fight

If fortune's gaze did fall upon this weary ship and captain Then of disdain, dared not to deign to answer neither plea nor prayer Four weeks at seas, or was it six? I hold to heart my crucifix Do we await the fiery pits or is salvation close at hand? The meek saviours' jurisdiction halted on reeceding lands If we're to conquer the midnight deep then let it be by my heathen hands Should pale death, with treble dread Make the ocean caves our bed Though no eye of love might see Where that shrouded grave shall be Thou who hearst the surges roll Deign to save the supplicant souls Should pale death, with treble dread Make the ocean caves our bed Rats with fangs the shade of rot conspire beneath the surface Hold me to blame, with naught to gain, drunk and deaf to reason Bad luck to kill a bird at sea, now changing winds do call for thee T'was ye that damned us, all the same Murderous dog, I curse your name Should pale death, with treble dread Make the ocean caves our bed Though no eye of love might see Where that shrouded grave shall be Thou who hearst the surges roll Deign to save the supplicant souls Should pale death, with treble dread Make the ocean caves our bed Should pale death, with treble dread Make the ocean caves our bed Though no eye of love might see Where that shrouded grave shall be Thou who hearst the surges roll Deign to save the supplicant souls Should pale death, with treble dread Make the ocean caves our bed Hark, Triton Bid our Father, the Sea King, rise, from the depths, full, foul, his fury Black seas of pungent slime, engorged with bilge and brine (Hark, Triton) His trident screeches banshee-like, and plunges through the throat Forgotten to any man or time, forgotten to god or devil Hark

It was fear Fear did drive my hubris, though I was not to see Fear usurped my faith, in the guise of clarity Made me certain of my actions Emboldened by a greater good And flying, not on wings of wax and feather but flesh, to lands no mortal should Now as sun portends to rise I remember We are dust And to dust we shall return And although we might embrace the night Come morning light we'll burn Burn In the twilight I hear my loved ones call Not yet gone, though the same fate awaits us all I see in them bravery, in spite of fear In the absence of hope and light we sing As one our fears become so fleeting I remember We are dust Let your fear turn to acceptance Past and future, disavow In a world so full of horrors Lay your focus on the now There can be no greater good than this In this life, this dream, this cosmic wish In this instant, this split second please remember We are dust And to dust we shall return And although we might embrace the night Come morning light we'll burn Know that we are dust And to dust we shall return So with all your might embrace the night Though morning light may burn Burn
