1. Prophecy of a Dying World
I spoke to the horrors of a dying planet
Creatures of a dying sea
Nature was forever altered, warped by reality
A truth to me was then revealed
Born on the wings of destiny
Decaying in my silent grave
I spoke to the kings of heirless thrones
An oath to me there was sung
The prophecy of their bones
I saw by the light of a dying sun
A world devoured in blood
Descent into ancient crypts of purity unpolluted
Transformed into a point of light my essence reconstituted
I prepare to carry my burden, prophet of a dying world
Into the endless continuum
Fated servant to mankind
Born predestined to let sound
The herald of our doom
"And the empires will rise and grow mighty,
Engulfing all humanity in their tireless domination,
Erasing the past and twisting the future...
In ancient tombs forgotten
Spirits will wither and die, and from the dust these
Crypts there shall rise
An entity born of vengful winds,
And from his soul beings will spew forth,
Abominations of consciousness
Who will corrupt and weaken the world,
Twisting dreams into nightmares,
Creating a new pain, a suffering,
That will last forever and curse our lives through all Time..."
Apocalyptic visions invade
And the grave it opens before me...
I ascend from eternal crypts my purity reinstated
Cleansed of my human faults
I accept the existence to which I am fated
Returned to my silent grave
Mute witness to our end
An oath it is that now I sing
The harmony of my suffering
I speak to those who shall forever be
Twisted spirits who refuse to die
Skeletons of forgotten kings
In swollen tombs of man they lie
I saw by the light of a dying sun
A world devoured in blood...
