Ash Upon Ruin

Velnias


Beyond the pearl white pillars 
Revel in delusion 
Glazed eyes to the horizon 
Fixed upon eternity 

Blind to the coming storm 
Their tepid foundations shall crumble 
Whilst the demons of the present 
Devour at will 

Oh how the skies darken 
From the brightest blue to a hopeless shade of grey 
A vortex of suspicions 
Doubts towards the promise of deliverance 

Eyes wide with fear 
What of the promise of salvation? 
Where is this god now? 
It seems he hath forgotten you... 

The sinking feeling sets in 
Lacerations of despair 
Frost now ravages valleys green 
Leaving a void of nothingness 
No dove nor angel of mercy 
Hope has fled these lands 
For the omen that stands before you now 
Is the hooded figure of death.. 

They cry to their saviour 
Praying for solace before the altar of decay 

Hails to the blackest of plagues 
A fevered pox of death 
Witness the tides of darkness descend 

Smothered beneath the chaos of the onslaught 
Gasping screams of the fallen 

Rabid wolves feast upon seraphim 
As the flames of truth scour all 

Nothing remains 
But ash upon ruins 

Breathe deep your last choking breaths 
Inhale now the blackened smoke of all you once loved 
This is your deliverance
