ALTAR OF BETELGEUZE LYRICS

1. Smoldering Clouds Above Orion

Deep in the star constellation of Orion
One massive blaze of the Alfa Orionis
Worth of ten thousand suns combined together
Lightyears away, far in the unexplored outer space

Soon to explode into torrid bits
Reaching the stage of supernova
The scorching core pulsates within it
Consisting of hydrogen, unstable nuclear fusions

The devils eye, engulfed in devastating flames
Devouring the vast spheres in near proximities
This funeral pyre, serenade to total destruction
Emerging into a black hole with never ending hunger

Sound the alarm before it is too late
This life will soon stop to exist as you are used to it
The starved vultures arrive from hell's fire
The smoldering clouds finally appeared above Orion
As we expected

2. The Approaching Storm

It is said that it's sometimes calm before the storm
Worries, those are small, living it like the day before
Nothing strange in the sky, nothing that would shatter the illusion
In neither hemispheres, nor traces the bare eye could see

Forced to live the day, while unwillingly we're led astray
What technology can offer, it is not the way to salvation
When the present day will end and the evolution chooses a different path
Believing into something so strong, it can prove to be fragile

When unleashed, the heat will melt every stone
This event of great magnitude, uncontrolled
Overshadowing our already distant past, our epilogue
On these grounds it is certain that we were the last

We were unaware of the approaching storm
Nearing the signs of light, silently we march

3. At The Shrine Of Light

Imagine the scenes
Awaken by the chantings
Closing on light
The way is here
The wait is heeded

The clouds are gathering
Forming, aligning to the sun
Blazing, strong rays, no turning out
To face the eternal way, placing the wails

Burning alive
The oceans on the planet's face
They are vaporized
Deeper, dwelling to the unknown

The time had came to reach this final state of termination
whether it was too late
Had I decided a different path earlier, perhaps
This journey of souls, supressed, a neverending stream for divinity
Now fulfilling and saturating in heat, to bath in eternal light

The beams reach us, the ground is levelled
Hot burning air, a gigantic pyre
The sun once worshipped at the altars
The universal degree fulfills above and beneath the ground we stand on

Imagined the scenes
Awoken by the chantings
Closing on the source
The wait was heeded

The everlasting colours
Spectres of total beatitude
Symbiosis of belief and unawareness
Entering the life through death

The clouds are gathering
Forming, aligning to the sun
Blazing, strong rays, no turning out
To face the eternal way, placing the wails

Burning alive
The oceans on the planet's face
They are vaporized
Deeper, dwelling to the unknown
We are at the shrines of light
