Risen - Brymir

Blood will run again

Through the lead-red skies ascend

Screams of dying men

From the depths they call thee:

Descend Eden!

And turn

From the seats of ancient Gods

Lead them from travesty

To the gates of heresy!

This silence;

a sacrifice

A prayer not even whispered

And unseen;

the rule of dice

Just serpent coils, the still-born phantasm

Dreams o' doctrine

— As I hold the gate

Transcend, and see:

— I am the key

Born of sea

— Sullen, savage… free!

The risen hold their paradise

— The fallen lust for sacrifice!

Ignorant armies, side by side

Come taste the burning evening tide

To darkness… ride!

Formless, the palaces

Whose walls now stain’d in blood

Run sighs, and tears

To a labyrinth-void of fears

Fall keepers of paradise;

To a destined land, a paradox;

Now join us, your sacrifice

Through the gates of heresy

Heresy
