Of the Setting Sun - Netherbird

Your past now stands aflame

Grey ruins line your empty roads

Barren dusty soils

The dead now claim these lands

I come with the setting sun

One of hope come undone

I am the one of shadows domain

Time pass yet I remain

I am near as life stands ablaze

The ashes you claim to be memories

Dust of what used to be

A vision only you can seek

I’m the dark in your lingering thought

The storm that will sweep your dreams away

I’m the one that will make you see

I am the loss, I am the key

I am eternal

I am close

I’m infernal

I am all ghosts

Of all choices wrongly made

Of all hurt ever inflicted

The loss

I shall open your eyes

I am the heart of all smitten lovers

A creature of all pain they felt

A shadow of all those betrayed

The ghastly beast, your past

One of hope come undone

Time pass yet I remain

I am near as life stands ablaze

The ashes you claim to be memories

Dust of what used to be

A vision only you can seek

I’m the dark in your lingering thought

The storm that will sweep your dreams away

I’m the one that will make you see

I am the loss, I am the key

I am the rider of the setting sun

The past
