From the recording The Failure of Religion
Lyrics
Intro
Beneath the darkened sky, I walk alone thinking of the memories of a life long since dead
She betrayed me, betrayed my trust and left my dying inside, dying alone
I loved the world as it was when we were pure of heart
The pain, the anguish, the fear are all that’s left
This misery I found is all I want to share with the enemy within
Onward towards the sun, gasping for air once again
I see it all as it once was, tragedy’s grin, I fail...failed it all
Verse 1
Fire born within the realm, I walk through life with desolate sight
Adorned with pain I am the one a faceless man a demon child
This curse called ”life” as left me dead, sorrowed dreams of sacred war
Tortured mind and blackened dreams, I have consumed my lust for life
The candle shines this loveless night, I beg for death and holy light
Reborn again in olden times, I raise my sword to darkened skies
I bid farewell to winter nights, blood on ice my death is cold
In my dreams I beg for thee, a kingdom of another world
Chorus 1
Ancient war, ancient God
A child in war, a war of light
I sing a song, a song of praise
I fall to the ground, heaven’s abound
Verse 2
A voyage forth to the stars, the legend speaks of a curse
Madness meets ecstasy, speak to me you fearless god
I descend to the underworld and awake the earthy dead
A living soul I think not, a myth of fools and foolish thought
Gather forth the hounds of hell, bring the damned upon this earth
Slay the strong and burn your foes, praise your mighty overlord
Holy God spread your wings and fly me to the over-world
Battlefields filled with blood, the myth shall be your false divine
Chorus 2
Ancient war, ancient God
A child in war, a war of light
I sing a song, a song of praise
I fall to the ground, heaven’s abound
Verse 3
Ancient one I follow thee, ancient earth I await your birth
Sorcerer I have seen you face, cast your spell upon this land
Fire-dance between the stars, a journey to the mortal realm
A war of doom from the north, I praise the great noble son
The stars shall light this lonely night, longing for death’s embrace
The crescent moon shines so bright, a universe in tragedy
The symmetry of pagan spheres, The war of time brings a tear
A fly into to a dying sun, your wretched God I kill for you
Chorus 3
Forever war, in the holy land
A child in tears, a war of fear
I sang a song, a song of hate
I fall to the ground, heaven’s abound
END
