Ascension

Wandering hearts, unlikely friends
Facing the fall together
Never to part until the end
Staring into forever

Kin of the tyrant, a dynasty failed
Fog clouds my thoughts in a terrible tale
Drive it away with a swift ocean gale
And I’m finding the source of it all

Cheers of the crowd and the strum of the string
Hearts fill with doting delight when I sing
But onto my throat something sinister clings
And I’m finding the source of it all

Face of forever, the last my kind
Speak through the masks that I’ve hidden behind
Histories hewn in the crypts of my mind
And I’m finding the source of it all

Hammers and fire combine
Out of the bonds
Rising into the divine
Hold back the beyond

Echoes of life
Drink from the well to ascend
Gods have awoken
Echoes of life
Tearing the threads of the veil again

Orders of godhood to wolves in the night
Wicked the sins that I’ve come to put right
A name on the bolt, a face in my sights
And I’m finding the source of it all

Slave to the scar and the torturous tone
Shackled to violence, I’ve hunted my own
Vengeance will grant me the means to atone
And I’m finding the source of it all

Noble of nature and scarlet of scale
Destined to ever be held up and hailed
Fallen from grace with a tear in the veil
And I’m finding the source of it all

Hammers and fire combine
Purging the curse
Rising into the divine
History moves in reverse

Echoes of life
Drink from the well to ascend
Gods are awoken
Echoes of life
Tearing the threads of the veil again

Wandering hearts, unlikely friends
Facing the fall together
Never to part until the end
Staring into forever
