Ways to Strength and Beauty Lyrics

When blindness fades and vision forms
A gallows wheel of shadowed life,
Through groaning wastes of Hell
We forge into the inferno,
Indulgence and austerity,
The Exiles of the lion's reign,
The fatal claws unfold
To crown the cloven darkness,
In the first fallow fields
And on the first Hallows Eve,
Through the first burning wreath,
The reaping of futility,
the reaping of fertility,
The breeding of nobility,
Ways to strength and beauty,
To the clearing run,
Through the harrows march,
In the arrowed wounds of savage dreams,
We pillage and we are pillaged,
The golden frame of prowess,
The cruel, intrepid feast,
In Hollow Earth's ancestral sea,
The fractures, the fragments,
The fracturing fragments
Of Eternity, of Eternity,
Bane and bliss divine
