The sand in my eyes An hourglass vision of time The end is near
Grain by grain Each granular movement is pain But I'll not fear
As the world burns around me I know that you will find me In the ashes
World on fire (And heaven in flames) This funeral pyre (Is a coronation) The wicked fanfare And demon choir Deliver a new anthem Of darker days And suffering Who will come to save you?
No heart made of stone Can beat with the blood I have sown In this garden of death
Tears can't restore The casualties of this war Now you've lost your way As the world burns around you The darkness will seat you Upon the throne
World on fire (And heaven in flames) This funeral pyre (Is a coronation) The wicked fanfare And demon choir Deliver a new anthem Of darker days And suffering Who will come to save you?
This battlefield inside the flesh A conflict for the ages The rise and fall within us all Our nature never changes
