lyrics

I have seen the land
Where mountains reach the sky
Where the air resonates
With the echoes of time

I have seen the forests
That span for aeons wide
Where the mist shrouded sunrise
Drowns in the rising tide

I have witnessed
The death of all worlds
One thousand times over

I have heard
The call from the east
A vague premonition
To welcome the night

The oracle foretold of our doom
That sleeps undisturbed
And awakens to kill the power
That dwells inside

Sleeping inside lie the spectres
In their black homes of glass
Coming forth to cleanse
As the air in the night

Dreaming, we flee from the darklands
And make our escape
Blown by the wind as the leaves
On the trees in time

Oh, and find the path of ascension
That leads to the oncoming shore
It meanders like the streams that will flow
'til the end of the night

Oh, I am the oracle
Here, on my mountain of ash
I wait and search for the power
That dwells inside

Oh, I am the oracle
Here, on my black throne of ash
Born with the knowledge
Of the end in sight

Black moon arises
And beckons the souls of the damned
In a midst of despair

Black sun arises
Seething tendrils of flame
Foretelling the end of time

White sun arises
Lightens the pathways once black
Where once the darkness shone

White moon arises
Carries us away from the shores
Into the eternal abyss

We open the gates to the other side
And drown in our own reflection
