lyrics

Torrents of lifeless abandon 
Bodies streaked with fear and ash
What was once a distant dream 
Lost in endless throes of ruin

Old gods awaken, in fervor 
And drink deep from, our wells of poison 
in raging flood, and cleansing flame
What was once buried, erupts again 

Demons denied, become inexorable!

In hope, we follow
the warmth of flame
Our grief, our burden 
our will to remain
Within wildfire, 
we walk, towards truth
In hope, we follow, 
the path of ashes

Ancient visions of primordial flame
path of ashes 

We are stillness after fire
We are buried under stone
We are the apex of ruin
And through ruin we will return

An ending 
ever near
A call
To return
