Behold the guardian of the threshold
Waiting for your second coming
When your parable unravels
At the twilight of the idols
You shall rise with the new dawn
That brings the joy of becoming
The path ahead of you is clearer
Strength and will your companions
I’m so ancient that the stars have forgotten my name
And I’ve crossed millennia to be here and now
I’ve forsaken my past lives as a snake sheds his skin
To unveil the mysteries in my inner pantheon
I stared into the abyss of everlasting night
Looking for my open wounds to seal them with light
The grip of emptiness gets tighter
As you dive deeper into your soul
Where the shadows dwell unbothered
And blind sentries plot your fall
Who will dare to descend into
the depths of the spirit?
A hopeless light bringer longing
To burn like the fire within him
I’m so ancient that the stars have forgotten my name
And I’ve crossed millennia to be here and now
I’ve forsaken my past lives as a snake sheds his skin
To unveil the mysteries in my inner pantheon
Awaken demigod
Invincible soul
Thrown out of time through my own art, I’ll never know death
For i became sovereign and ruler of this universe
In the image and likeness of the Sun, Gnothi Seauton
Open your eyes, turn your gaze inside, Gnothi Seauton

I drift into the night
Straying from my only light
Maybe I’m just a thought
Crossing the mind of a star
This Eon ends with me
Since I must return to the cave
To gaze upon my old creation
As it was never mine
And all the illusions will gather
To put me under their spell
When my vision fails me
I will renounce this mortal shell
I am the Architect of
This burning temple
You used to call home
A thousand worlds crushed in my hand
A thousand and one sparks
Of the same ancient flame
Will you break into the skies, where your inner God hides?
Make one last sacrifice on the altar of lies
There is no place to hide
From yourself this time
While I guard the Cosmos and you watch over me
The dance of the eons draws us near the end
Draws us near the end
Draws us near
I will meet my creator
In the dark night of the soul
When no star is shining
Right before dawn
While I guard the Cosmos and you watch over me
The dance of the eons draws us near the end
Draws us near the end
Draws us near the end

I sought the great oblivion of sleep to forget myself
A lifetime spent in exile like a trial without witnesses
I stole the fire from the Gods to fulfill my fate tonight
I will climb towards the zenith beyond the clouds that veil my eyes
Shooting arrows at the sun
And watch him bleed the rays of doom
A source of astral wisdom springs from my elder heart
My body set ablaze in ritual sacrifice
Star splinters in my bloodstream ignite my foreign art
I will call my legions when thy kingdom falls apart
I still march with my destiny
riding through the desert sky
Sidereal nobility
Returning to it’s rightful throne
Hierarchical severity
Restoring the ancient order
A clandestine whisper reached me in time,
Before I besieged the walls of my mind
A voice in the distance, that spoke only once
Said: I am the Truth and your Daimon
I heard a silent echo
Hidden in my deepest core
A prayer said in secret as I
Leave for my Holy War
A clandestine whisper reached me in time,
Before I besieged the walls of my mind
A voice in the distance, that spoke only once
Said: I am the Truth and your Daimon
