PROFETUS LYRICS

1. When Autumn Cries A Fiery Canticle

"Beholding in Sorrow
the Sleeper meets kingly torment
Suffocating into the woe of stars
He remembers the years pass

And what is left of dying flame of retribution"

It's then, when the last autumn cries a fiery canticle
And hums through the trees in the wake of death
As a last journey of mesmerized night-wind
Yearning to leave this earth

"Dethroned and forgotten,
He sees no suffering rest
In his temple, now relinquishing from the soil
Deep in his wounds of starlight
The nights are still silver"

Death, so heavy on his shoulders
the dreams too old inside
Now severed out from his chest
into a sky-shaped stone for a blackened soul

Once more gazing over shoreless white purity
A perfect vision lamented by his hands
His bleeding eyes thrown to the godless glare
Where creation is still silence

Abandoned lies his tower of solemn grace
Like the thousand years engraved to its walls
Where his cries circle, never to reach the chambers of gold
Hopelessly, as all seasons die

2. The Watchers Dusk

»I sleep beside you
Breathless in the casket of wood
Softly in the withered bed of hays

I dream as you are asleep
Holding this circle of hands
And under my feet, the dying flowers«

Carrying out the flame to the Eve

To Open the passages in Dusk and to enter the Night
when the souls will coil to the ancient stars

Where only sacred footprints remain
In the ever falling snow
My soul is a candle
Lit towards the end of time

Under cold spears of Saturnine bliss
To the solemn pulse of elder-night

The watchers fire kindles in the distance
and emanations reach this morbid heart
Like elemental tails of prophecy
Shedding light of the most radiant star

3. The Shoreless

The fires burn as the dismal shore seems to perish
Like the quietus of his dying dream
Softly grasping the infinite, the shoreless escapes
Like silver beams they travel the swell

In their cold remembrance
where moon drank the waters venery
A gaze of silver to its bleak fathoms,
where a painful oath was thrown
Dying words broken into silent bliss of soul

And no light shall escape his brow
Like waves once leave the shore, never to return
As the haven breaks to nothingness

»And like his tears, they will melt the stone
Over harbouring night
Receiving only death or life
Unknown«

4. Burn, Lanterns Of Eve

Following the lanterns glow
we have reached the passage of night
Burning clear from the mist of the years
no more a stride for his longing soul

Turning paths to the oldest of misery
His hearts contempt
The black sun on its billows
The prophecy - freezing his flesh

The cry of reversed star disappears
falling to the mother’s cold arms
Burning the trees wreath, once ever-green
the golden cloak to ash

And all the north winds
cease their howl
Remembering
The fires of the shore

Burning his heart
with their dismal calling
The shroud of death falls
and cold aeons await

Our torches dim and pale
over the ever-descending night
what is to become and remembered
is only here to pass

As the darkness will fall upon us
