Beneath the sediment of aeons   In ancient repose  
My trust lay eroded by age   The old glory faded  
And past times forgotten   My reign given way to my rage  

Harmonious the centuries   The land and I were one  
My Soil My water, My air   Bringer of light   And Master of night  
In balance   The earth in my care  

But with the passing of days   A new wind came blowing  
With whispers of change   On its wing  
This tide of corruption   Laid siege to my world   Usurping the throne of a King  

Your new gods   Your new ways   All seek to dispel me  
With doctrines of fear built on lies   The hidden one no longer   I claim my dominion  
To the sun of your age   I arise...  

...Of your anger   Your anger   Your ignorance   Your blindness   Your greed  
Your progress   Your conquest   Your mania   Your need  
Your sorrow   Your sickness   Your final, parting breath   Your hatred   Your bloodshed  
Your future   Your death I will have none   I will have none   I will have none   I will have none  

I, dread lord of shadows   With broken spell   unto this dying age   I bid farewell...
