Saeclum In Favilla

Outside my haven, the land is dead
My light waned ere half my days are spent
The wall’s breached, my last refuge crushed to dust, my hope to cinder and rock.

Dies irae - A day of wrath, this day, will turn the world to ash
Terror crawls, my judge appears
Will I be safe inside my hell, will I be left to crawl my head
Saeclum in favilla.

Let the horns ring, tear down the walls
This inner sanctum soiled so many nights ago
Weary, I lay myself to rest on broken tombstones
Prophet to my own end.

Infinite emptiness is all around me now
All the resurrected dead will not fill it
Sitting here, blind, a speck in the void
The case, I hear, is not unusual.

Dies irae - A day of wrath, this day, will turn the world to ash
Terror crawls, my judge appears
Will I be safe inside my hell, will I be left to crawl my head
Razors red, red with guilt
Will all my lies be revealed, will all my sins be undone
Burden’s gone, the day has come
My judge appears, all sins to dust
Saeclum in favilla.

Moments for nothing
Time was never, my time is never
Reckoning closed, story ended
The end’s in the beginning.

Dies irae - A day of wrath, this day, will turn the world to ash
Terror crawls, my judge appears
Will I be safe inside my hell, will I be left to crawl my head
Dies irae solvet saeclum in favilla.
