Roaring of The Light
Roaring, screeching, wailing horror
Darkness raging, maddened roarer
Rising, burning, flashing wrath
Screaming void and lightning flash
Down went hammer, muddy mire
Doom is forged in bloody fire
Accursed sword is forged at last
By hammer swung in heavy blast
Chaos, chaos, trembling, trembling
Spirits, monsters, now assembling
Elder gods from lair and den
Take the form of twisted men
The void has screamed, the void has howled
Empty lands where demons prowled
Empty now for all have gathered
Monsters come and peace is shattered
Above the heavens darkness reigns
Or so it seems, all bound with chains
A storm of spirits, evil comes
Heralded by the foul drums
Chanting, rising voices screech
To drown the words the wise men preach
To drown the wild screams of the stricken
The foul drums begin to quicken
Golden meadows, silent streams
A broken people turn to dreams
A remnant of the light once in
The foul world now charred with sin
Flower fields and misty seas
A trembling people on their knees
Remember now the sacred things
The trembling broken voices sing
A bloody sickly conquered throng
Voices raised in sorrowed song
Rise above sick revelry
Of demons and their devilry
A song upon the wind is heard
Carried far above the birds
A message sent with holy breath
A song of beauty, noble death!
The land now hangs, in the balance
Lifeless are the demons talons
The voices, strong! Holy! Humble
The song of hope begins to rumble
Across the land the spell is broken!
For by the song the lords have woken
The fairy princes in shining mail!
Cast the spirits back to Sheol
Once forgotten, that song of light
A song once sung into the night
A dream so filled with breath of magic
A dream rekindled by death so tragic
For those last remnants had the grace
To see black death, face to face
They saw it there and sang beside it
They saw it smile… and they defied it
A song once sung beneath the depths
Now sung through street and cobbled steps
A night of death never forgotten
When hope most holy was begotten.
