Sworn To The Flame

Wrath, born unto deceit and hate, black child of fate, now rule supreme
Fire, counsellor of vehemence, cleanser of sins, sweep over me.

Till my judgement day has come, until my flame is won
Till I'm burnt out from the pattern that engulfs us all.

I'll survive, lone I will uphold
The sacred principles of courage, truth and love I serve
Here I stand, an Avatar
Ray of gleaming light for the people of these sad, barren times.

Ice, quiet source of pureness, vanguard of reason, quench my dark side
Pride, old father of sorrow, utmost of all sins, will you challenge me.

Through the shadows cold and bare where morrow's hope yet fades
Through this madness grown out of pain where dreams are turned to haze.

On I'll ride, my candlelight
Flickers threatened by the cruel winds of Limbo
Still I stand, I'm just a man
Torn and battered, but my high cause shines on .

Time goes by, fool human kind
Frail and faint-of-heart, still sows the seeds of wrath and pride
Sacrifice, kneel by the Light
All throughout your life be sworn to the Flame.
