Atlas Ruinica

Steel teeth gnashing the sky Breathing in fire and lead still I Steel teeth gnash the sky Breathing in fire and lead and Yet here still I find a certain sense of solace Iron will till I die And it may not be long yet As I fall in line among the ranks of Horus Spiraling to the ground Spiraling to the ground There's nowhere to go but down This is the end, end of my story A final tailspin, a fiery glory Spiraling to the ground Nothing can stop it now The flak and blood The fire and char all say (Nothing can stop it now) The path through the maw was the only escape (Nothing can stop it now) "As above, so below" is what they say As within, so without, within this placе Oh, feel the deafening roar Of еngines failing, vengeance falling, pulling us toward Earth Steel teeth gnashing the sky I float through fire and lead like water Spiraling to the ground There's nowhere to go but down This is the end, end of my story A final tailspin, a fiery glory Spiraling to the ground Nothing can stop it now (Nothing can stop it now)

Closed off windows, slamming doors I can’t take this anymore But time will show Darker truths not known And the reason why I guard them with my life You cannot know how I’ve searched for the words to express A mere semblance of this emptiness (I’ll find a way back home, way back home) Gather ‘round as you share in your final testament I never got a chance to say goodbye I never got a chance to see you off through the door As you cross to the other side (Each word weighing down) (As if you knew that it was our last parting) (Every pause profound) (A fragmented haunting) As I search the room I feel you here And I try to forget that this time I’m all alone This doesn’t feel like home Being here without you I’m so lost without you right now This doesn’t feel like home But time is quickly slipping And I can hear you whispering “Go on” Eyes up, look closely Take courage, that’s the key Press on, don’t falter Look inward, that’s the key I know if you could You’d smile and tell me no tears I know if you could You’d take me far away from here (Growing gold as sunlight) (In our memory) (Write a different story) (A different melody) As I search the room I feel you here And I try to forget that this time I’m all alone This doesn’t feel like home Being here without you I’m so lost without you right now (Right now) This doesn’t feel like home But time is quickly slipping And I can hear you whispering “Go on” Closed off window, slamming doors I can’t take this anymore Go conquer the world Chase the sun, the golden dawn, to the pyramid palace Go cut out the heart A secret coded by the God of Justice through the ages Go conquer the world Listen closely for my voice because the world is quiet there Go cut out the heart I’ll meet you out where the sky is empty

Don't you close your eyes They're watching you Guard against the night It beckons you Break Encircle the sun They're baying for your blood Don't you sink in the shadows Missing pieces forming tapestries of a slumbering world Oh, it's the wayward souls That lead us far from home The things we need most are where we're scared to go It's the wayward souls That lead us far from home The things we need most are where we're scared to go Pain clings straight to your soul Plunging you through years of cold The burdеn on your shoulders Tells you've seen too much to forgеt now It keeps you up, it weighs you down Oh it's the wayward souls That lead us far from home The things we need most are where we're scared to go It's the wayward souls That lead us far from home The things we need most are where we're scared to go (Where we're scared to go) Through the years they were always listening Through closed off windows and doors Through the years they were always listening Through closed off windows and doors Don't look now Everything you'll see is a looming cloud Oh it's the wayward souls That lead us far from home The things we need most are where we're scared to go It's the wayward souls That lead us far from home The things we need most are where we're scared to go

No I don't know No I don't know Why death must take its toll And leave us with these ghosts So cold Can't let this go Familiar catacombs That gather around their own The strength to bury a friend It won't be the last time It won't be the last word It won't be the last Life that it grasps in the palm of its hand I know I can't go home No, no, no It's not there on my own Why does death take its toll? Why did death take his soul? And when the end is drawing near Everyone is consumed by their darkest fears Desperately grabbing for anything that pulls thеm from the deep So you pray for sleep But you won't find comfort there Drеaming of escape won't kill the nightmares I'm so lost And since the end is drawing near Everyone is consumed by their darkest fears Desperately grabbing for anything that pulls them from the deep So you pray for sleep But you won't find comfort there Dreaming of escape won't kill the nightmares (Dreaming of escape won't kill the nightmares)

All the world is clear now I'm standing on the last summit Promise me, remember To find the light and follow it Now it's clear there's no other way to follow (For tomorrow) Fight the fear, let the sunlight shape your heart's road (Not your sorrow) You may not live to lie in your blossom's shade But you can still capture the boundless life you chase The things that you have built, the courage you have shown Your legacy lies in the good that you have done Now chase the sun All the world is clear now I'm standing on the last summit Promise me, remember To find the light and follow it Take courage through the years How could I bow to fear? Illuminate the road With all that I know Take courage through the years How could I bow to fear? Illuminate the road How could I not go? I found the light recovered from the shadow Break through the night, another path, a small glow I found the light recovered from the shadow Break through the night, another path, a small glow Now it's clear there's no other way to follow (For tomorrow) Fight the fear, let the sunlight shape your heart's road (Not your sorrow) I found the light recovered from the shadow How could I bow to fear? Break through the night another path, a small glow With all that I know I found the light recovered from the shadow How could I bow to fear? Break through the night another path, a small glow How could I not go?

We never fail to fall We never learn to read the marks on this world We never fail to fall So I'll just turn the page Restless beneath the weight of this madness Like a dress rehearsal for death I lie in red and black So steel yourself for where you go No map has marked but even so You can't turn back or shield your eyes From villains walking in disguise We who ought to crawl have learned to fly Who wе are is all we've known But thеre's more if you let go So we turn the page A rival now, I'll bring your walls to the ground But you can't move until you let it go Turn the page I'll light it up and burn it down to the ground But you can't move until you let it go Dark days torn straight from our deathbeds Sorrows like burdens of silence Anguish of the inevitable We turn away and face the dawn You know not what lurks at every turn The things you've seen you can't unlearn Watch closely for imposters For down here there be monsters Who we are is all we've known But there's more if you let go So we turn the page A rival now, I'll bring your walls to the ground But you can't move until you let it go Turn the page I'll light it up and burn it down to the ground But you can't move until you let it go Life flies, closed eyes, I'm not sleeping tonight Feels like a ghost always slipping from sight When I'm alone I let my mind roam free but it's always my demise I've broken the silence I've challenged the giants I'm letting go so I can turn the page So put on your brave face Spill blood for a new fate I'm letting go so I can turn the page We turn the page A rival now, I'll bring your walls to the ground (Ground) But you can't move until you let it go Turn the page (The page) A rival now, I'll bring your walls to the ground But you can't move until you let it go Turn the page (Turn the page) I'll light it up and burn it down to the ground But you can't move until you let it go

Stumbling through a land shrouded in mystery Vile blackness spun from spurs of glacial nights I push past the waters that have festered here Bathed in blighted sunless light So build a castle or a coffin, you'll rest the same each way Hellish cry of a black dominion waiting its fateful day The being which we herald will move the sun To rise on the age of Iron Hatred You might hear the most terrible sounds In the Absence of Light Oh, through blackened eons wе sing And forge the bindings to bring The songs of thе ancient powers The waking of Elders Lost in the land of shadows (Breaking their slumbers) Falling through the dire barrows The ground begins to break (To break) Exposing a new way out Nek Ahweh Dleh Nhep Oh Lhat Rohp Nek Ahweh Dleh Nhep Oh Lhat Rohp Nek Ahweh Dleh Nhep Oh Lhat Rohp Nek Ahweh Dleh Nhep Oh Lhat Rohp Lost deep in shadows that time forgot Wandering where the sun cannot Through the uncounted black eons we sing In these godless voices the songs that will bring The binding of Elders, the rending of worlds With dark winds in the sails of Theseus unfurled We have survived countless centuries in mire Holding our torch and feeding the power No more hiding from the light Oh, through blackened eons we sing And forge the bindings to bring The songs of the ancient powers The waking of Elders Lost in the land of shadows (Breaking their slumbers) Falling through the dire barrows The ground begins to break (To break) Exposing a new way out The dire barrows have me stumbling Through a land shrouded in mystery Vile blackness spun from spurs of glacial nights I push past the waters that have festered here Bathed in blighted sunless light

I've seen the dark chasm yawning Black planets roll without aim Mute horror screaming unheeded No knowledge, lustre, or name I've seen the bones of all nations Mere dust in an hourglass Keep time of a wretched destruction From present, future, and past Soured slumber from a seething vortex of Time and godless outer hells Emissaries from cosmos yet unknown Brought forth the Atlas Ruinica Fling open Solomon’s Gate And then they speak They said to me, they revealed to me The secrets they sailed into the sea of Fire, fire No escape, no return Fire, fire It has seen, it has heard, let it burn (There is an eldritch evil that runs so deep) (That its river poisons the stars) Kept comatose only by strange mercies And the amber flame, frozen from afar Sailing through the sea of Fire, fire No escape, no return Fire, fire It has seen, it has heard (let it burn) So hide it well Not another soul will live to tell of Fire, fire It has seen, it has heard, let it burn (I've seen the dark chasm yawning) (Black planets roll without aim) (Mute horror screaming unheeded) (No knowledge, lustre, or name) I've seen the dark chasm yawning Black planets roll without aim Mute horror screaming unheeded No knowledge, lustre, or name Tear the souls from their flesh Tear the souls from their flesh Forsake not the path before you Forget not the shifting sands Forsake not the path before you Forget not your wretched end Forsake not the path before you Forget not your own end Forsake not the path before you Forget not your own end Sea of fire No escape, no return Fire, fire It has seen, it has heard (let it burn) So hide it well Not another soul will live to tell of Fire, fire It has seen, it has heard, let it burn

Follow the call And step beyond Cause the gate is ready, it's time to touch the light Go And ponder every life You will grow to understand they intertwine Then you say "Are you ready? Are you ready? 'Cause the gate's about to close And it'll swallow you whole" The weight of The Many Is too heavy to carry on your own I think it's ready to blow Go through the entry Cause the gate's about to close And it will swallow you whole The weight of The Many Is too hеavy to carry on your own I think it's ready to blow I feel it drawing me And I'm magnetizеd (And I'm magnetized) The fabric of things we see is one cell of a greater life So go And seek out every sign Cause the gate is open, it's time to touch the light (Touch the light) Now the worlds begin to spin Through the eye of Solomon I end where it begins Go through the entry Cause the gate's about to close And it will swallow you whole The weight of The Many Is too heavy to carry on your own I think it's ready to blow And the sky will fold, pouring stars into the sea And at last again we'll meet So cross, follow me through the door to the other side Join me here where all worlds collide Then you say "Are you ready? Are you ready? 'Cause the gate's about to close And it will swallow you whole" Go through the entry Cause the gate's about to close And it will swallow you whole The weight of The Many Is too heavy to carry on your own I think it's ready to blow This is the end, end of my story We meet again, the sky has been emptied Spiraling through the clouds This is the end, end of my story We meet again, the sky has been emptied Spiraling through the clouds Spiraling through the cloudsThrough the clouds Spiraling through the clouds
