Eternal light for an ancient world
A battle in purgatory
Brought on colossal curiosity
The beasts from above
Reigning down upon inferior beings
Lightning and vigor
The pinnacle of power of eternal fire
Displayed by the will of man
A new age has begun

Kindled

Awaken by the fire at my feet
In this world of isolation
My sanity will deplete
My body is a vessel
Destined by fire, the last of its kind
Kindle it with flesh or let it fade and die
The stench of death paints the air
In this endless cycle of despair
The burning enshrouds me
As I gasp for a release
In this land of endless blights
And withering disease
The sky is consumed
By a black intent
As I trudge evermore
Into the never-ending depths
Leave not a flame to be sparked
Ignite the humanity
Of a mind incomplete
A murky world where souls are lost
My hollow body is one with the dark
My final steps into the kiln,
I'm left with one final choice
Condemned to the darkness
A flame that's sparkless
To die in fire or repeat the cycle
The age of darkness and souls
Continued by mighty Gwyn
Flame will end
Man will rise once again
Through the darkness
Humanity restored
Link the fire
Bearer of the curse
Ashen One

Corrupted
The heart of a warrior
He was said to end the darkness
But the serpent swayed him away
Sent by Gwyn, the truest black knight
Set foot in the abyss
Walking the dark swamp
A suicidal quest
To prevent the world
From being engulfed in the blackened
depths
Never was it meant to be
The aroma of power was a lust too great
Without his faithful companion he fell victim to the serpent's sway
Father of the abyss
Consumed by the blackened depths
By the blood of the wolf
He shall be avenged

Beckoning Sun

By the power of the sun
Star of eternal light
From the prison of the dead
Our fates were intertwined
The adage of my people has led me on this quest
Of blood and countless demons
And my own burning flesh
Thou who art undead, art chosen
For the bells must be awoken
We are amidst strange beings in a strange land
The flow of time itself is convoluted
With heroes centuries old phasing in and out
Of course we are not the only ones engaged in this
But I am a warrior of the sun
The sun is a wondrous body like a magnificent father
If only I could be so grossly incandescent
By your side I shall fight with valor
For this is our curse and our quest
The burden of a thousand deaths
For the sun is the true god
Whether it's there or not
I've found the sun

The First Sin
10:03

Fire cracks the sky
Ending the circle of existence
Purging fire across this land to kindle our own souls
To make us whole
Build upon the ashes of old
You catalyst born of flesh
Or abandon the light and slip to the abyss
Witness the dead era
Engulfed in the dark's cold embrace
Losing yourself forever inside the fog
Cross the other side of your doom
You worthless existence
Fear for life
Bow your head for our champion
Separate from your hollow life as you burn
Man is the embodiment of the first sin
Watch this decay into you
The hand of the hollow who has brought upon oppression of the void
Extinguish the final flame
Then the only thing that will remain
Is a throne of ashes
Some say nothing is more dark than one's soul
Does yours still have light inside?
Rest now Ashen One
This kiln is now your home
May you wither away
Forgotten by time
Another soul to the sky
