lyrics

walls, marble walls
the ancient lords built this place
gold, the golden light
we praise the sun and it shines

oh, ephemeral
life giver flows
unimpeded
her sweet nourishment
gift of sun
ambrosia

bearer of sign
thou shalt go forth
and take the corvid’s wing

ascend beyond
this hollow frame
no longer chained
to sanity
nor will i be
constrained by death

the cycle now begins anew

with each fire kindled
i am reborn

the light has left us

cross perilous bridge of stone
to where he lies
the cavern foul
the rat king
now presides
forsaken heir of ash

the lords of old
are now gone
no light remains
in this place
only darkness
and ash
for the rat king
