Burning As One

[Lyrics: LoSicco '97-'98]

(A) Candle black in silver stand with wind-kissed flame on wick

Casts a flickering shadow of the ancient one

Whose slowly moving presence toward the hoary tower casement

Ascends to view outside his manse the scene revealed below

Legions align on the red high land hills

Not as one but as many

(Once) warriors for she and now warriors for none

Conflict in lust for the night

Eyes with age unknown stare on at wheels, which turn below

And so the scene repeats itself for he who watches all

And unknown to those at odds in arms below

A card was played one yet unseen

Fools carry on in their bittersweet rage

Salacious desire to have all

Failure to them, while unknown is their fate

For Night has Her chosen one

That which does not

Become part

Of the one shall

Become void

First to feel the burning rays, to see the lie in light

First too she who wrapped my wounds and healed in pale Unlight

[Chorus]

I am that

Which can not end

And from whom they all have come

Divided to

Dethrone her son

Now they shall all Burn As One

First to feel the burning rays, to see the lie in light

First too she who wrapped my wounds and healed in pale Unlight

Desire:a carnal need:to force upon their will

Purging:a bloodline's end:cleansed in flame

[Chorus]

Alone now

My will be done

Unchallenged again in might

Set at odds

Those who once were

And will never be again

Divided to

Dethrone her son
