The Last Hour of Ancient Sunlight - Draconian

Black is the sunlight shimmering below;

It flows through life and the guilt we share

Our sorrow, it cuts through the undergrowth

As we abandon this ravenous Earth alone

The zeitgeist dimmed the surface and seized the soul

Our Mother wept behind the fence

And we drained her blood, then forgetting her face

And hide from everyone…

To breathe, to conquer

To linger, to utilize the ignorant herd

In rapture from nature we divorce

Like orphans by desire

From this closing light

The bewildered sleep

The shadowy voyager is lurking;

He’s in the flesh of landscapes vaporous

The vacant, untiring Sovran of old…

He’s the machinery;

igniting the paralyzed soil

We took the blood of the earth

And fell in love with death

With life itself as an excuse

Black is the sunlight shimmering below;

It flows through life and the guilt we share

We’re hiding in chorus as starry eyes close

And seasons part in farewell;

'cause we drained her blood, then forgetting her face

To hide from everyone

The bewildered sleep

The shadowy voyager is lurking;

He’s in the flesh of landscapes vaporous

The vacant, untiring Sovran of old…

He’s the machinery;

igniting the paralyzed soil
