Darker Skies Once Radiant

Take, but a moment to be

In this reverie

In a lifeless state

Of serenity

Falling far from a throne

Perched high within the stars

Your light is seen by all

They dream upon your fall

Your path is destined here

Below where mortals fear

Dark unforgiving skies

Once radiant, now cry

Fade, to a paler shade

Hidden in the bones

Of the buried gods

And turned to stone

Fallen far from your throne

Pushed down beneath the stars

Your light was seen by all

In dreams they see you fall

Your path has led you here

Where even gods will fear

Dark unforgiving skies

Once radiant

Take a moment to hear

As death draws ever near

His hand will guide your eyes

To a dark world inside

This world will be your home

How the sharp thorns have grown

His words will drown your heart

Flesh and soul will not part

Words are worthy of fear

Meanings are never clear tongues will tell you lies

Truth hides deep in the eyes

When seeds of doubt are sown

Hidden paths stay unknown

When truth finds you in the dark

Death will leave his mark

In darker reveries, you're sitting here swallowing the empty dreams

Of thoughts afraid

In all the centuries, you wouldn’t be wallowing in endless streams

Of darker shades

In all your memories you're thinking of the darker skies once radiant

In stellar flame

Now at your ending, you're staring at the eyes of death embracing

Your fearful face

Fade, to a paler shade

Hidden in the bones

Of the buried gods

And turned to stone

Fallen from your throne

Beneath the stars

Your light was seen by all

Now they see you fall

Your path has led you here

Where even gods will fear

Dark unforgiving skies

Once radiant

In darker reveries, you're sitting here swallowing the empty dreams

Of thoughts afraid

In all the centuries, you wouldn’t be wallowing in endless streams

Of darker shades

In all your memories you're thinking of the darker skies once radiant

In stellar flame
