Worlds Within - Hath

Surrounded by darkness closing in

I’ve traveled far to the land of light and sun

To inherit what’s mine

The first age of humanity

Heralded by primordial embers

Set upon by festering rot

Don’t let it grow, the dead stray from their graves

Forgotten who they were

The flame can rekindle them all

Hacking and smashing, I’m clawing my way

Gods mark my path

The last laugh is for he that burns

When the world rots, we set it afire

A kindness for those in the next

Is it true our lives are all born

Of the first sin and we just repeat it in vain?

Flame, dear flame

How brightly you burn, I give you my all

Your heat let us flourish

But now you waver and falter

The power of flame allures us and we attempt to harness

In the end, it is all beyond our reach

The power of the gods is gone
