Hymns to the Tower

Through deserts of loneliness, I heed the call<br/> As cosmic winds return to back the fall<br/> The stars are long gone, the moon burns red<br/> And to my right I see the valley of the dead<br/> <br/> Into the darkness, into the night,<br/> into the fire, with all its might<br/> the desert is howling, the end is near<br/> hymns to the tower, to praise the seer<br/> <br/> No forgiveness, no turning back <br/> She won’t be far, the queen in black<br/> My heart is bound, my mind is clear<br/> Soon we will gather, have no fear <br/> <br/> The eternal flame <br/> Born from great power<br/> We pay our tribute <br/> With hymns to the tower<br/> <br/> Into the darkness, into the night,<br/> into the fire, with all its might<br/> the desert is howling, the end is near<br/> hymns to the tower, to praise the seer

Look beyond the horizon<br/> Look beyond the dawn of men<br/> All the glory, all the grace<br/> Shall fall into our hands<br/> <br/> Don’t let me think about forgiveness<br/> Don’t make me care about the weak<br/> All that matters is my pleasure<br/> I will corrupt the pristine<br/> <br/> In the fires of damnation <br/> In the pits of dregs and dirt<br/> We will build our crooked nation<br/> We will take over the world<br/> <br/> Don’t let me think about forgiveness<br/> Don’t make me care about the weak<br/> All that matters is my pleasure<br/> I will corrupt the pristine<br/> <br/> Visions of my childhood flash before my very eyes<br/> Days of happiness and comfort as I start to realize<br/> What lies ahead is the path of regaining, what lies behind is the path of regress<br/> There is no choice but to destroy the force inside that wanted less<br/> <br/> In the fires of damnation <br/> In the pits of dregs and dirt<br/> We will build our crooked nation<br/> We will take over the world

Our small army gathered<br/> Not only living flesh<br/> But creatures of the worlds between<br/> Born from the deepest gash<br/> <br/> We have waited a lifetime <br/> To seize what is ours<br/> May the gods have mercy<br/> As we pay tribute to the tower<br/> <br/> And our stitches will be visceral<br/> Like we’re spreading a disease<br/> Our shapes become invisible<br/> Unlike the cities, we have seized<br/> <br/> Execute The Ambush<br/> In the darkest night<br/> Our hearts are filled with fire<br/> The towers burning light<br/> <br/> We have waited a lifetime <br/> To seize what is ours<br/> May the gods have mercy<br/> As we pay tribute to the tower<br/> <br/> After all, we stood the test<br/> And the gods were on our side<br/> But we won’t ever rest<br/> Until sun and moon collide
