Exhausted beings hung to rot Empty shells of shades I've seen them once alive They seem to shape an empty alley Into the vacant vastness of life Mountains grinded and refined A plane still lasts Dead and hollow the place we used to love Just ruins of the past remain here And silent voices call for you out of the black ...and embers show you the way Devastation reigned here Made the heavens fall Down on earth, on our world Crumbling... Down To the empires of lies To wash them all away For they are an evil plague Decisions of the past Turned out as a mistake But we are not the same Not aware of anything Too much lies beneath the reach Of our humble consciousness inside Out of the black the fingers of sorrow Grasp for my soul To lay a little sickness around it And transform myself into cinder Glowing cinder Evil cinder Diabolical... A reign of fire and thorns—fire and thorns Vicious fire and thorns—fire and thorns Demonic fire and thorns—fire and thorns Diabolical fire and thorns—fire and thorns
