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
