lyrics

Aegeum darkness
Omphalos deceit
Divine ashes
Vaporous heat

Penultimate hour
Final Sun
Bright upper air
Domain of one

Transformation
Under Phosphorus
Vestiges of peace
Lost to star's fluoresce'

Radiant dawn
Halo engulfing
Swift descent
Celestial passing

Glaring amber
Staggering strife
Coercing elements
Into crashing light

Between two hosts
On sacred ground
Monarch rising
Severed crown

Nemesis
Kingly rival
Awakened brothers
Ancient reprisal

Of Erebus
And primal union
Answer to all
Edge of ruin

Vigor and fury,
Limb and craft
Seismic convulsions
Might unsurpassed

Grandest burial
Cataclysmic end
Bronze gates watchful
Dodekathaeon ascend

Glaring amber
Staggering strife
Coercing elements
Into crashing light

Between two hosts
On sacred ground
Monarch rising
Severed crown

Olympus! Lasting peak!
Of which divided dignities
Might tame timorous winds
And restore the reliquaries of matter
