1. Into the Fiery Depths of Heaven
2. Soaring on the Broken Wings of an Eagle
3. Final Chapters of a Rotting Sun
1. Into the Fiery Depths of Heaven
Beneath a rotting sun the earth grew so cold
Rain fell like death and silence arose
Mountains bowed down and dawn slowly drowned
The plucking of harps and darkness ceased all
Who shall lead the way
When no one's left to follow?
Who shall take our hands
When the flesh is stripped away?
I hear the dead sing a song they've never heard
Maybe the autumn trees are listening tonight
A sickly shade of red has never looked so beautiful
The scent of greying flesh has never blown the winds so cold
I could breathe
if only I'd try
But I wait for winter's embrace
A black and slow decay
I can smell the embers in the air
A land full of life... under the dead
A choking stench fills my lungs
No last breaths, we shall part with a laugh
2. Soaring on the Broken Wings of an Eagle
We march into the dark blindly
A burning sky shall be our guide
This blade so frail
As thin and dull
As the snow that
Begins to fall
I will not hide from myself anymore
I have no regrets, and I have no remorse
I lay my hands on the thorns that I have grown
No sympathy for the ones who lay beneath the earth
And on the night that cinders fell
You floated downstream, goodbye, farewell
The stars shall shine as you pass with dreams
Memories die as candles burn, goodbye, farewell
Perched upon this oak
I shall set you free
But how will you fly?
How will you get back home
When you ride on broken wings?
How will you find sympathy
Condemned to suffering?
My knife has found its home
Cutting across your throat
Pulled up for one last kiss
Pushed to the waves you missed
3. Final Chapters of a Rotting Sun
Part I - The Unholiest of Matrimonies
Your darkest entrails will paint the walls
The brightest of reds and blackest of deaths
The beauty of night was found under skin
The beauty of truth was found under sin
Would you walk with me to the darkest place I know,
to a place that light fears that it will never show?
And I used to pray that you would never have to go
So I take this blade and I'll cleanse you red as snow
Who knew you would look
so good in red?
Who knew you would look
so good in death?
The divine in your eyes
The flames of the night
A touch without hands
And all becomes ash
I can hear dull whispers
Of the tales left untold
The ones that you held so dear
Have been lost in the storm
Part II - Ascending the Bottomless Pit
May I have this dance?
For these steps shall be your last
May I have this breath?
As I drown in disease
Crawling along the shores, under this bleeding sky
I shall not drown this time, not when I blow the winds
With fear she sang to me, in words I could not hear
There is still room for one more, room enough to fall
We shall wait in silence as the mountains crumble
Dancing in the malice with stones at our feet
Black clouds never shined, at least not so beautifully
Buried in the twilight, fading so vibrantly
The rain is pouring along horizons
And it looks like the storm just might come my way
The moon is falling into my hands
And it looks like another day with no setting sun
The sun wont return
I see the gown you've chosen
Now you are draped in death's dress
The tapestries are woven
With paintings drawn in my own blood
A wolf lies in the distance
He waits as I approach the gates
They're locked just as expected
So I'll lay my head into the snow
I can see the moonlight in the frozen forest
Beyond a sleeping sunrise
I can smell the decay at the seasons changing
But the flowers wont grow back... not this time
Would you leave me to dream on the darkest of nights?
Will I awake to the broken sound of rain?
Shall I find you hidden, awaiting angelic decadence?
Or will I lay my head into dusk and take this night by its hands?
Part III - The Darkness Never Left
I hold the night as it falls asleep
It now sees what I've known all along
The sky shall rest eternally
Light slowly dies, and all tears fade
