Prelude - Martriden

Saw a star through the haze of my dreams

Emblazoned in the night sky

A light on the outer rim of dark

A fire burning at the end of the world

A vision of death, fire and violence

Foreshadowing the coming struggle of war

Blood spoiling the seas

The fog of war scorching the sky

And its fiery core opened to me

Sharing a vision of destiny

I will travel the vast distances

To where hope and daylight have died

In the fragile minds of men

Beyond death and its mournful song

Down to the depths of the earth

And in the throes of despair

As blood soaks my trail

I will ascend from ash and arise

My eyes open roused by terror

The bleak premonition rattling my mind

Anxieties strangling my rationale

Chaos burdens, and hastens my decision

Lucid awareness guides my destiny
