The keeper of shadows has joined
Shield your eyes from his claws, throw your thoughts in the coil
Succumb to his empty calls
For he is the vessel to accept what you've brought
The incandescent truth of his longing words
Roams in the haze of your burning oath
Drenched in the darkness soon to be gone
As a short reminiscence of what he once owned
Feed the blaze with covert wishes
Let them linger in the light
Neither smoke, nor dust, nor ashes
Let them guide you through the night
As the sun engulfs the skyline
Shed your skin and shed your outline
Step into the warm embrace
Lose your fears and lose your face
The embers in profane disguise
Descend into your eyes with a withering shimmer
The ardent billow of faith
Is slowly lifting the despair with its glimmer
No longer a servant of the obscure halls,
A perpetual drifter in his undying world
Endure the curse of the stained glass
As the darkness grows stronger so you must see past
Feed the blaze with covert wishes
Let them linger in the light
Neither smoke, nor dust, nor ashes
Let them guide you through the night
As the sun engulfs the skyline
Shed your skin and shed your outline
Step into the warm embrace
Lose your fears and lose your face
A faint warmth crawls into your eyes
Blind, you reach for its source, numb, step out of the fire
Surrender your last desire
Ashes surround your past self, cleansed, your thoughts will stray higher
The stars, the ground and time itself
Kneel at the sight of the sovereign of flames
Bestow your endless craving upon them
Have them sacrifice their light, life and realm
Feed the blaze with covert wishes
Let them linger in the light
Neither smoke, nor dust, nor ashes
Let them guide you through the night
As the sun engulfs the skyline
Shed your skin and shed your outline
Step into the warm embrace
Lose your fears and lose your face
