The Pyre of Ages Lyrics by Wraithborn

Apokalypsis

2020

No time to wait as the pyres take my home
I don my robes as I rush through scattered sacred tomes
I have no time to save them all to my dismay
A bitter death to literature which no one will retain

Priority, a testament in ruby leather
Alas, I cannot find it here; not with the ledger
I need to rush to save myself before the flame’s embrace
But a dusted silhouette is all that rests within its place

I can’t еscape

An unsound climax
My story so cut short
The icy hand of death
Wеars the gloves of smoke and fire

The wooden floor collapses underneath my feet
I plummet to the ground below and roll into the street
Carnage, snow, and blood surround me, what horror I perceive
Women, men, and children flayed so far beyond belief

Beasts like giant men are clad in blackened armor
Nothing of this world I’ve seen could birth such awful terror
Mages turning corpses into warriors, undead
Hundreds, nay, thousands scream, wishing for the end

From the north garrison, our soldiers charge the streets
Spear, sword, and shield presented, they see not their defeat

Each man fell silent
Not one was given quarter
No man or beast could best
These nightmares from beyond the light

Their sacrifice had bought me time
Just enough to get away
Night now calls my name
As Milan dies behind me

Eastward I run
Not ever looking back
Refuge is far from here
But perhaps we can stand a chance

The guilt is crushing
The night is long as I have failed
Still I march on for vengeance
Hate, and atonement
