Burning Kingdom I: A Dark Affliction Lyrics

Light pierced the sky, with a cry in the night
And its wings were of ashes and flame
Ages of misfortune would soon land in the orchard
And grace would soon fade from its frame
Its eyes were a fury of cosmic beauty
Yet worn from their witness in blight
Its heart now a chasm this broken phantasm
Called to the heavenly light
I'm so cold inside (yet this hellfire burns in me)
I've crossed this great divide (fallen from grace) Drown me in flames (for all eternity)
And ride the crimson tide
Its tongue spoke of lies and the fortunes of night
It riddled and twisted to shame
Yet I felt in my place as its lips touched my face
And my blood ran a river of flames Come with me,
my child
Through the gates of my burning kingdom
Take my hand, my power
To live without his grace
Forever As we descended into the abyss never ending Into the twilight of the nadir of hell
A tendril of light did escape from my heart and
I knew then that
I too had fell A storm is approaching,
its words are encroaching
I can feel the change in my mind
And I can see clearer as its evil draws nearer
That we've reached the end of our time
