Firmament

Forgotten, forbidden, forsaken the skies
My god of ancients, i crumble and die.
My castles in ruin, buried beneath me
...exalts with desire into destiny.

...and i look up to the sky
And pray to a god that doesn’t known my pain
Times since passed for you and i...
Malden flame to name

My nights of dreams, my blood so faint...
Leading from shrines, so empty and vain
My heart so weakened by all this shame.
Behold enduring skies, golden flame to flame.

... and i look up to the sky.
And pray to a god that doesn't known my pain.
Times since passes for you and i...
Imprisoned by aft this shame...

Imprisoned by my heart and soul..

A prayer to the sky...
I trust that you will hold me
In your firm embrace.
Please... let it be her...
The one who bared my child birth.
(... and between us and boundless eternity,
We will be united once again. )
Would you walk with me in this place called heaven?

When the earth in her hunger cries for food.
To raise his soul high above the firmament
That he may foretaste our tomorrow.

And to keep his body groveling in the mire.
That he may not forget his yesterday. )
