A New Dawn - Shylmagoghnar

We are men of a thousand faces

Of the motionless mask

Underneath which a battle is raging

And danger lies in losing grasp

We must burn our boats;

to leave behind

The shores of our damnable past

As we take a deep breath;

through the fog

That used to suffocate

What’s done is done;

the dice were cast

And the only path before us lies

Striding towards the riches of a new dawn

But before we can relinquish

The strangleholds of the past

We must one last time revisit

Those depths, where we hardly dare go

Enter the mind!

A bottomless pit of inspiration

A bottomless pit of sorrow as well

One must watch his steps

Not to fall in self-deception

(Where) we once gave in

To endless waves of melancholy

The weight of the world

And the torment of troubled souls

There is no turning back now;

to what once was

As hardship transformed;

the path has been forged

Pain led to knowledge and insight

So revel while you can;

in the dusk of the past

As a new dawn;

grand;

rejuvenous

Emerges through our hands

Revel ye pity humans;

in the dusk of the past

As a new dawn emerges;

emerges

Through our hands

Therein lies hope;

therein lies strength

Built on the ashes of the old world

Therein lies life;

therein lies meaning;

therein lies strength

As the sun of a new dawn engulfs the skies
