lyrics

Her stare pierced through me

Her stony figure stirred my spirits

The heretics are slaughtered

Their blood as sacrifice with their throats slit




The marble screamed my name

Took me to a sacred place

Beautiful cliffs, lush pastures

Alluring isles upon deep blue lakes




But your grace cannot hold me forever

I was taken aback, torn from your heaven




Sirens once occupied the entire domain

Where now utter silence remains

Ancient poems, forlorn tales

Enchanting ballads to escape life's maze




O Goddess of time and space

Nary a scholar has forgotten thee

Now be praised and grant my plea

Let it be undone what has come to be

The ice has thawed, your reign restored

My devotion as your life force

So seek what thou wilt and take it from me

And forever I'll honour and forever I'll kneel




O Goddess of time and space

Come sulphurous angels and ethereal demons

All beauty shall fade and all men must die

Like old gods spawned from a titan's seed

Thy wheels and cogs grind bones to dust

They move what was thought to last

I'll flow with the wind and hallow thy name

So give unto me what I failed to craft




The morning sun came to cleanse my skin

To scourge the wickedness and forgive the sins

My flogging futile, my scars burnt

The guilt too vast for my mind to carry

So for pain my flesh years


Her stare pierced through me

My failures clouding and drawing her grimace

Her dismay stings my soul

Leaving me doomed to become more committed



Thorns follow her voice

Leave me no choice

Enter my skin

Through you I reach redemption




Sirens once occupied this entire domain

Where now utter silence remains

Whatever hardship I may face

I know, deep down, I don't have it in me




O Goddess of time and space

Entities died thought to be divine

Vultures may come and feast on earthly remains

Yet absolution in your presence we find

The flesh is weak, the soul is foul

Inscribed on me, divine design

So I take solace beneath thy wings

And beg that thou may grant me life
