lyrics

No!

Down it comes
A streak tearing the sky
The morning star
A shooting flame from Heaven high
Descent everlasting
Blistering of flesh and bone
At once it ends
Lying ...alone

Serenity and misery
Breaching the borders of eternity
Where worlds end and so begin
For those guilty of immortal sin
Dust falls, giving him rise
All around The Great Darkness lies

A landscape of nothing
A world in a void
Crossroads oblivion
Where angels lose their way
He is forgotten
This prison without walls
Spat out by Heaven
Where divinity falls

Darkness illusion
This world a masquerade
Swallowing emptiness
Will shimmer and fade
Hope lies abandoned
Across this scorched earth
Waves of decay bring no rebirth

Darkness tumbles away
Burned by fires of his rage
A unity of exiles
Carve a bloody new page
Darkness covers
A new God leaving its shell
One dream dies for another
In his kingdom of Hell

Down it comes
A streak tearing the sky
The morning star
A shooting flame from Heaven high
Descent everlasting
Blistering of flesh and bone
At once it ends
Lying in wreckage...alone

Dust falls, giving him rise
All around The Great Darkness lies
