From Ancient Times (Starless Skies Burn To Ash)

Blazing to their pikes Turning to dust Gusting with the wind They (Still) dream of an older delusion Reigning, raining Dampening the empire Their excursion burns with the ashes Calm lakes mirrored Glistening everywhere They rove through the waters and fires Silent seas paused Enlightening low light Their visions for imperishability The weakened flesh Expecting downfall Their ashes spread through lightless, starless skies The eminence Not expecting wind They (Now) think of a newer illusion [chorus:] Praise - the ancient times As earth - equates their end Command - the ancient times Like tara - shall never pretend Dies - irae, dies illa Quidquid - latet adparebit Nil - inultum remanebit Depose - towards ancient times [repeat chorus] [repeat all verses in reversed order excluding the first & last]
