The solar avarice, the fallen god
To stoke the fire pits, to face the Lord
My soul is sick of it, the death of words
This be a chrysalis, this be a scourge
Lightless fall through a pit of swords
The fire inside a burning forge
The severed chains, the tolling bell
A throne to seat the lord of Hell
Transformation into force
Forests burned and iron scorched
