Prelude to Fire
This is the prelude to fire. Release date: May 5, 2024 Lyrics: My spirit lies deep beneath the aqueous veil Drawing shadows, delineating dread (Eye!) My body wanders the forsaken roads The city's pulse grows faint They tell tales of vanished trails where brightness once roamed Lids droop heavily under their tall tales of vanished trails where brightness once roamed. Lids droop heavily under the weight of dreams Shut eyes wide open in the abyss The air tightens as I think of this here come the titans, sparking the prelude Sparking the same Sparking the prelude to fire The dreams that dream the dreams, of the dreamed They seem to be the same as the others dreamed They mean to mean the thing that the other's meant like the coins that line the pockets of the government's dead presidents This is the prelude to fire This is the prelude to fire This is the prelude to fire Swift as a raven's call at dawn My trepidations echo on Beneath lightning streaked skies, my shadow Self stretches in the meadow And we played the liar's song all along A paradise once lost burns with fire The night air crackles, a pact unsealed, seals fate, then Evil once chained to shackles As the infernal gate swings wide open I nibble at the edges of the fire Its bitterness entwined with clarity My eyes reflect My eyes reflect the light of fading stars Yeah As fading spreads, its gates wide open I nibble at the edges of the final act This bitterness entwined with clarity My eyes reflect the light of fading stars You're just fading so fast, fading so far away Like ghosts of the past Like ghosts of the past... Taste the fruit of Judgement Day It's bitter in its truth Standing before the gates of hell Before the end comes calling Before for the first light's roar Find peace within the dark Dark and sure Taste the fruit of Judgment Day It's bitter in its truth Standing before the gates of hell Before the end comes calling Before for the first light's roar Find peace within the darkmore
