The Funeral Pyre

A fire shall burn on a starless night
Where the dead and alive unite in a choir
The forest sleeps in the dead of night
Awaiting for the dawn to arise.

God of fire, god of death
What is the path to enlightenment?
Take me down the road where no man has been
There's a fire inside brighter than the sun.

God of fire, god of death
Show me the path to enlightment
If you require a sacrifice then I will provide and leave this world behind.

God of flame and shadow
Spread your disease upon those who deny you
Dance with the fire, and embrace the kiss of death
Hear the words beyond the void, play every dissonant chord
Beautiful in color, as in tone.

I have seen my death before these eyes
I have seen the end of this world
Light the torch and sound the bell
For I am on my way.

I set my sail
To a world unknown
Towards the southern shores
Towards eternal death
We were born and we died together - on the funeral pyre.
