Golden Age 05:07
Only the bright gleams of the sun shown up In these lands where reigns the tyrant We are the result of neglect And for those who ask For many years there was peace That for which we do not even dream to live again And the one that Forethought manifested himself And he brought us the warm flickering glow of hope “A new Golden Age shall come, brighter and better by far than the old!” And he was generous in soul But naive for the consequences Sorrow and fear came unexpected and without pity For both worms and the Forethought It became difficult to accept the impotence It became difficult to accept our already lapidated end

Lay Thy light on my soul Luminous ethereal being Guide me on my path For thou art in me O Sol, O Spiritus Deliver me from this maze If only I was made of righteous power If only I was made of something more More than this voidful existence of mine Then all my faults And my pride Would bend before my will Arise, echoes of yore And make my spirit of fierce fire Arise, newborn Sun And conquer the night Howl To banish the blight Howl louder Because the dawn is nigh "The day has come A day of decadence The stars of our forebears are struggling to shine The spirit of man is dormant And his ephemeral works are turning into ash The scourge of the earth is devouring itself And from within the ruins we'll be born again" Arise, echoes of yore And make my spirit of fierce fire Arise, newborn Sun And conquer the night

An albescent branch Spreads through soaked soil The pallor contrasts with golden leaves And it shines with the warm kiss of sunbeams And I yearn forevermore To transcend and sing nocturnal chants "May long you reign, my child May be thine empire so vast And thy years countless Misfortune there will be none For I will be your sword And your spear To pierce through the land And to conquer thy fear For I will be the thorns In human flesh May you rule in glory and despair" Hollow were the shepards in my ancestry Misguided lesser beings mourning the nothingness Now I see through the dragon's eye aeons of warfare Disrupting dimensions and smiting the pillars of creation I will stand upon a broken man May this purge become my innermost triumph I shall forswear what my eyes used to behold These ebony chambers aren't unknown to me My aphotic path is afoot And I yearn forevermore To transcend and sing nocturnal chants Life flourish on drylands of blight And I yearn for the silent scream of cosmos A heavenly anguish crushing the maggots Herald of night will bring the woe And I yearn for the silent scream of the spirits Corrupting the veil of divine "May long I reign, Obsidian One May be my empire so vast And my years countless Misfortune there will be none For I have the sword And the spear To pierce through the land And to conquer the fears For I will be the thorns In human flesh May I rule in agony May I rule in despair" And I yearn forevermore To transcend and sing nocturnal chants

None of these souls are free from this burden A shrouded fog enslaves them to a frail perception They come as one to this golden haven As Night and Day becomes a distant memory The choir sings in unison suffering As the heat melts these walls with its igneous melody I stand restrained by the chains on my hands And the light that once guided me Is cursing my path to liberation A thunderous roar to appease the herd Unsheathed sword to enliven my spirit Will this cathedral be my sepulcre? Will this blight consume my sanity? I crawled through the path of the saints Shall I perish as the light shineth in my anguish? I have conquered the spectrum of light And I have witnessed the horrors of the dark A puppet in the hands of the Gods Now I am the One

about
