Sworn - A Journey Told Through Fire lyrics



Tracks



01. A Godless Domain

"Come! Inferno, come!
Bring your dread sorrows and flames
To drain what strength in me remains
And I shall recall my journey told through fire"

Displeasure, mouth of vermin
A gaping flame of hatred
Presomptous insolence
Righteous ignorance

Kings and queens fall
Moonshine kingdom prevailed
The arrow of nothingness
Pierce their holiness

The sky is painted black
The venomous spear impale
The mouth of inferno, exhale

Light the fire
Assemble the keepers
The soulless creations
Gathered at the gates

Burning the symbols
Crying in vain
Faithless inferno
A godless domain

Ascending between the seeds
A newborn force to breed
The crimson spark
Of those who walked but walk no more

They were the descendants of the burning euphoria
The pandemic flame
Their throne reclaimed

Mare noctum
Mare flammarum
Mare infernum

Ancient watchers told the tales
Of an old forgotten memoria

"Set ablaze the naked flame, the eternal sign of might
Spread the fire throughout the world
Paint my image in colors of red
Illuminate the blackened sky
Apex annihilation"

02. Grand Eclipse

A glowing sphere of dread on his path
Swallows the night sky like a shroud
Alone and astray he ventures off into the fray

A silent breath of sacrifice
Slows the course of perpetual time
The arrival, the god of flame
His reprisal, a reckless fate

Fearless and brave on blackened soil
He withstood the radiance
Gazing towards an ashen shore
He endured the burning night

Loyal towards the ancient sun
Prepared for the aftermath

Secrets untold from creations of men
Greatly deceived by a burning revenge
Corruption ignited his world
And drained the soul from its heart
Now a halo of flames

03. Calamity Sea

The dimmest celestial light
Lights his vessel in the night
He lies there silent on the edge
Moving within motion

His world is this ocean
He sees a crimson realm
Through a rusted ash-stained porthole
As all things fade away

Lost down amongst the fiery dead
The currents force him further
He is cursed in the depths
The realm of forgotten wrecks

Through his eyes a sky aflame
A dreamless horizon, an entity
Down below a voiceless ocean
The invocation remains unspoken

"Trust in me, dismal squall
I have burned for decades
Trust in me, wretched winds
When I have turned to dust

My knowledge shall be lost
My descendants will corrupt
My legacy all destroyed
In the wildfire"

04. The Forsaken

The tale of the ancients
A forgotten fable
Enigmatic
Unfathomable

Creations in darkness
Oblivious to other existance
Their world is the one
They belong to none

Ignorance and serenity
Unaware of what life could be
Beyond the surface of lies
Behind the veil of illusion

There lies another dimension
Unseen by the blind
Like life contained
Within a sphere of flames

The starless horizon
The dead end
Nothing but a blindfold

Cold worlds beyond
In the unknown
Aeonian equilibrium

05. Visions Of Fire

In fire he was born
Forged to conquer this world
Relentless
Unbroken

On his journey a new world was formed
Full of wonder and dreams to explore
A cosmic old locus

With triumph in mind
He witnessed the sky fall
Embraced by inferno
A stormful deceit

Visions of fire
A chaos dimension
Dreams of aeternum
He rises immortal

06. Monumental

A blazing sky of firestorms
Crimson dawn
A new world forms

Abandoned fate
Merciless bow
Bestial oath
Forsaken crown

Beyond the shadows he is reborn
Beneath the flames he marches on
In the horizon a tower unfolds
Monumental
A shrine of the old

Beware, the burning tower
Behold, the throne of flames

At the burning throne
His journey ends
He is the one true envoy of flame

He enters the temple of ungodly wrath
Where prayers are heard from those of his path

"Transform this world
Entice the blind
Call on the flame
As a god of this kind

Unleash inferno
Transcend the divine
This is our fate
The dawn of our time"

Rising the banner
The seal of the scorn
Masters of chaos
The bringers of aeon

Mausoleum of fire
Blinds the enchanted
For all time

Embracing the chains of eternity

07. A Journey Told Through Fire

A wildfire spread in the deepest of his bones
Firing through every inch of flesh known
To drain what strength in him remained
Thus follows a journey told through fire

Immolation was his fate
Destined to walk the ashlands
In the eternal fires great
A journey walked through fire

For centuries he witnessed
Cascading flames everlasting
An epoch of lingering suffering
Cursed for eternity

Isolated in cosmic inferno
The dawn of oblivion
Shone it’s first light
A journey endured through fire

In the shattered garden of ashes
Only a slave can prevail
The cosmic purge of catharsis
Leads to the promised vale

From a neverending fire
He burst through the smoke and scorched
Scarred by starlight
And nightshade’s caress
A journey condemned by fire

"Come, inferno! Come!
Bring your dread sorrows and flames
To drain what strength in me remains
Set the world ablaze, leave the sphere a flame
And I shall recall my journey told through fire"
