lyrics

The night is dying
Subdued and bare
Hung in dark azure
The lifeless moon mocks me
A rain of shadows
Drowns the dungeon stones
Is this a call of redemption?
Or to death am I betrothed?
Willingly they say
Bravery they claim
To lift the city walls
From the brink of despair
Through rusted steel
I bid thee farewell
For as the light falls
Come the immolation
My pyre awaits
The ritual murder
The aroma of burnt flesh
Will fill the lungs of a kingdom's corpse
Willingly they say
Bravery they claim
To lift the city walls
From the brink of despair
A forged pride, hollow and frail
Clouded by the acrid scent of betrayal
Oh the tapestry of lies
Of failure, of cries
Gone are the days of honor
Gone are the days of glory
I watched a kingdom, long since prized,
Descend into the valleys of demise
The truth dies with me
And so shall my burden
One of false hopes, of broken dreams

Of deception and charade
My pyre awaits
With a firey grin
Taunting us all
With the impaled head of mankind
