Tel Anorath - Denouement Lyrics

My time is come, I have arrived
In this place that I have feared
My wits are knives cutting through
Everything that I thought I knew
The old ones speak, dispelling lies
They tell me why my people die
Tell me why am I the one
Who must destroy his love

Norath, my lord, rises from his gilded throne
Approaching me as I regard my former home
Into my hand he puts the scepter of command
Say these words and your race will rise again

With These Words! I have spoken
I've accepted my place is not my own
With These Words! I am broken
No one remains. I'm alone

I give the command!
The fleet responds to my voice!
War for this system is but a footnote
Lost to time
The creation requires a sacrifice!
Lath! My people! My life!
Unsung heroes perish in fire!

Before my eyes the players dance
Bolts of light puncture the night
There is no sound, only dust
Floating in empty darkness
A wounded hulk loses control
Abysmal darkened sphere of death
Collision with my curséd home
Brings the battle to a close

Far across oblivion in the
Distant molten sand
The Flame of Norath emits its
Final golden strand
Upon the stair of Lorath
Loyal and keen
Feral companion
Lath, my steed!
My vision fades away
I'm drifting like a stone
To the oasis that I
Used to call my home
Infernal trial
Took away my sight
I cannot look away from
Terrors in the night

With These Words!
I have fallen
With These Words!
I am buried, forgotten, in the sea
With These Words!
So much has worsened
With These Words!
A new low, I have achieved
With These Words!
I wake up knowing
With These Words!
Remember the nothing that is me!
