There stood a dragon whose smile like glistening towers gleamed Solar in its glare and hellish in its heat Once I’d slain her for my glory, and so my pride obtained I planted in most fertile fields each of her razor teeth
Was my conquest not complete? Was her death not enough for me? Why could the blood upon my jagged sword Never quench my immortal lust?
For I would raise an army fierce In platemail cased and trained to pierce And so stretch out my hand for more To stand in judgement, crowned by war
As the angels who forsook their principality So the fleeting spoils of desired fulfilled Would turn to everlasting chains
Through the carnage of my ascension Striving as all men in futility Why can’t the blood of your saints spilled at my hands Fill up the depths of your immortal love?
Their tears as a sapphire spring Their split veins yielding forth rubies to you All the nights suffered long awakened in death Await the trampling balm of your sapid plagues
To those hooves would I stand enemy Crushing down all who withstood The stain on his ankle from the head of my liege If the darker third of heaven could not but bruise his heel How will I in human strength claim the battlefield?
Behold how he treads the winepress of his wrath In his irradiate gaze my courage drips as wax Can you melt down my heart of stone That leads me blind to the abyss?
By the scale in your hand are many weighed And many there are found wanting still Written in what was, what is, and what shall come to pass Is there redemption left for me?
Why would you show me the writing on my grave If I were forever past all hope?
Behold how sharp the edges of his tongue Dividing soul from spirit, inhaled breath from lung Can you sever the chains I forged? The weight of greed drags me to hell
Make my tears a sapphire spring My split veins yielding forth rubies to you Though my nights suffered long awaken in death I’ll want the trampling balm of your sapid plaguesTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
