Where Dead Kings Lie

We died among you
Where no flames shall burn
A patrician of song
A stone in the earth
A spear of black
A banner of bone
We died among you
Where no flames shall burn
A patrician of song
A stone in the earth

Of song and reverie
Of times long since gone
Far from reach again
Soaring so high
Above us all
To reach the sky
To tame the flame
Of times long since gone

Calling for you
Reaching for you
Like a dream in us all
Ye shall awaken
And ye shall know
A time of war

We stand before you
A unity of might
An ensuing tide
Crashing upon the shore
We are of your flesh
A child of your womb
The blood in your veins
In ashes we are spent

We stand before you
A unity of might
An ensuing tide
Crashing upon the shore
We are of your flesh
A child of your womb
The blood in your veins
In ashes we are spent

We are the earth
The ebbing flow of time
The end and beginning
And all of nothing
We shall take all
The shape of the clouds
The mark of the wind
The vast open sky

Where only blood shall rule
Where only blood shall rule
Where only blood shall rule
Where only blood shall rule
Blood shall rule
Blood shall rule
Blood shall rule

Monument of blood and rule
A singe upon my flesh
Of kings and gods
I sing unto thee
Monument of steel and might
The spring from which I flow
Of lords and men
Mark and know it well
Death, a blessing
The storm of steel has come
Away, a moment
The ways of flesh undone

Monument of life and death
Each stone upon this earth
Of age and merit
I sing unto thee
Monument of grace and lust
The desire in your heart
Of pain and ruin
Savage, one and all
Death, a blessing
The storm of steel has come
Away, a moment
The ways of flesh undone

Vast, and open
The everlasting sky
Great, and distant
Below, the mortal glow
