Imperial Vengeance

The Black Idol
This pilgrimage we undertook to wastelands where an Empire stood, Where feathered evil watches from on high; Where desolation stretches on all sides in ruinous divides, And all around the bitter wind doth sigh. Proud epitaphs did once declare:'Look you upon me and despair' Yet tides of time have washed away all trappings of dominion. But when unto the East we turned our eyes and saw a shape arise It's fearsome outline black against the heavens.
And so upon the winding road we trod our way toward the shape That towered above the skyline: a black and fearful silhouette.
'I saw the fathers of this land arise To climb and reach the sky; Ambition burning in their hearts Great heights above the plain did fly. They raised their spires and towers tall: A kingdom bright beneath the sun And in my name they conquered all. Hail, tyranny and dominion.'
'But yet this kingdom soon forgot The legacy of He Who Watched And in a mere handful of dust I bought them fear : a freezing ire; 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 The winter's pale embittered heart That beats a solitary drum.
With darkling skies put out their sun Forever, and without farewell. Their wonderland in silence fell.'
Memorial to long-dead days, of endless tears, uncounted years: A legacy of broken flesh, and an Empire built on blood and sweat. But yet when drawing two days closer 'cross the half-lit frozen plain; And standing in the shadow of the black colossus, cruel and grim. Each heard a ghostly voice that whispered in our ears and so did seem To tell a dismal history, a chronicle of mordant dream:
'Small gods in your created heavens, Bewail thy crumbling paradise Forever, and without farewell. Their wonderland in silence fell I am the great devourer when darkness doth descend I am the destroyer - I am the hungry end. Gripped in fearful outline, a shape that none defy Your Aeons pass uncounted as I sit and watch the sky.'
