The bones of the ancients
Lay silent in the dust
Entwined with the remains
Of the resistance
I stood somber amidst the remnants
Of a war fought in vein
As I look upon their bones
I knew it was my time
In the absence of the sun
I stood somber amidst the storm
And witnessed the aftermath of heresy
And the fall of the divine
My eyes transfixed upon a distant shape
Glowing, drawing ever closer
I watched as the shape drew near
And my eyes turned into a demon
He stopped in his tracks before me
Upon his head laid a crown of fire
The flames flickered as his eyes met mine
We stood motionless in the storm and he spoke to me
I've seen all that is to be seen
I've heard all that is to be heard
I am all knowing but still I am empty
I'm so empty
He forged this crown from the flame of mankind
But the sadness of the world lay heavy on his brow
He can no longer bear the burden of humanity
The bones of the ancients
Lay silent in the dust
Entwined with the remains
Of the resistance
I stood somber amidst the remnants
Of a war fought in vain
As I look upon their bones
I knew it was my time
Right before my eyes
The demon turned to ash upon the snow
I took the crown
As the winds took his remains to the sky
The wolves gather around me
Howling black lullabies
Their songs enslaves
Even the strongest of man in sleep
As we slumber the snow erases us
Wiping clean the slates of time
Witnessing the end of the world we know
Wiping clean our existence
In the absence of the sun
I stood up somber amidst the storm
The crown of hell laid heavy upon my head
As the world fell into the black slumber
The black slumber
