Yesteryear Lyrics by Illyria

Wanderlust

2024

I claim a story for thee
A tale from all sinners with murder and greed
Learning from villains and thieves
Doing their best to leave you uneased
A warning for those of today
Darkness and violence is well on its way
The pen is wet
The ink is dry
This is our final night

Welcome to Yesteryear
Claiming your smiles
And drinking your tears
Welcome to Yesteryear
Draining your hope
And spitting back fear

Rise above titans of Gaia
Monoliths erected higher
Templеs astrayed
Heresy claimеd
Hasten the schism the demons ordain us
Curse us
Mankind is manifested
Our souls have been molested

Heavenly father
Have you forsaken us?
Were we damned?
Were we damned from the start?
O' All-creator
We have feared for the worst
Welcome to Yesteryear

And now that I have turned away
For this world was all just a lie
I have blinded the darkness and embraced all the light
Death is now life

Martyrdom become eternal
Repentance silencing evil
Fiery rain
Idols are slain
Mending the schism the angels forgive us
Help us
Mankind is manifested
Our souls are still contested

Heavenly father
Have you forsaken us?
Were we damned?
Were we damned from the start?
O' All-creator
We have feared for the worst
Welcome to Yesteryear

Send forth the trumpets of justice
So all can hear
So all can hear
Open the clouds of the cosmos
So all can hear
So all can hear

Close your mind
Free your soul
Close your mind
Free your soul
Free your soul

We are the tools of our disaster
And forever in despair
We are the dreams of our perfection
And we also will repair
So I will take the burden for
For the violence inside me
So I will free the curse to all
To all the sinners who believe

We are the tools of our disaster
And forever in despair
We are the dreams of our perfection
And we also will repair
So I will take the burden for
For the violence inside me
So I will free the curse to all
To all the sinners who believe
