Mercury Skies

Now the lakes are still
And this night is forever dark
These lands been nourished
By those who bled away.

The silver strings trace back into the past
The winds foretell the saga of
The pending end
And chaos commences.

Under mercury skies
The calm before the raging storm
Black forms, black clouds
The dawn of the great deluge
Under mercury skies I face my final night
Alone.

Split this world with lightning
Come fire, come hail
Make mountains crumble
Underneath your wings.

The screaming howl of thunder
Aeons to bend
How it all began and how it all will end
The rise of age of man
Her twilight will descend.

And the graceless hammers of time
The radiance before the storm unleashed
As we spectate our own departure
Behold the burning sails of faith.

In the lightless night of forever
The onyxian dawn
Witnessing the dawn.

When memories have faded into dust
And still our destination is unknown
I have witnessed the shifting of the tide
I was destined to venture on alone
Alone.

My fear died with hope
This path is unknown
Like dust from a star
It settled a lifetime ago
The never ending road.

Split this world with lightning
Come fire, come hail
Make mountains crumble
Underneath your wings.

The screaming howl of thunder
Aeons to bend
How it all began and how it all will end
The rise of age of man
Oh, her twilight will descend.

Under mercury skies
The calm before the raging storm
Black forms, black clouds
The dawn of the great deluge.

Under mercury skies
The radiance before the fall
Black forms, black clouds
I face my final thought.
