Caladan Brood To Walk The Ashes Of Dead Empires
The burning fires fill the sky as a golden light enfilades the night Shattered mountains crumble away, their smouldering heaps upon the plains Ashes of gods, a cinereous rain A torrent of death covers the slain Blood has stained the silent stone where armies have fallen before the throne
The burning fires fill the sky as a golden light enfilades the night Shattered mountains crumble away, their smouldering heaps upon the plains The mortal cries of perishing thralls Ancient towers topple and fall Beleaguered spirit, dying pride Dawn of sorrow, lamenter's shrine
Such a slaughter, this battle of gods What a deluge, these rivers of blood The call of T'iam beckons me I have awoken to the rage Lost in thought, lost in space, lost in time Lost within this storm we drive Unleashing chaos inside The endless night sky dims my eyes
The burning fires now subside as a golden dawn dethrones the night The aftermath of battle's toll, mighty silence they behold Landscapes bathed in colours pale, dressed in blood and broken maille Splintered spears, shattered swords, unmarked graves The cost of war
Son of shadows betrays the night, father walks away from light Mother Darkness leaves us to die Kharkanas sounds its final hour, resplendent halls are empty and pallid Brothers forced another way A breach was sealed but a host was torn, raised this wall only to fall Bones ground into sands of the shore A voice reborn and a voice was shorn, the vice of centuries of life Must we make this sacrifice?
Empty halls sing a hollow fall Dust-strewn cobblestones lead them home Ships now dreaming in their quiet ports Raise your glass to the ones returning Icy barrows and forgotten swords Snow-capped mountains hold forgotten words Deeds heroic and deeds unknown Carved upon the empty throne
