Eclipse
Ashes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gone is the sun
Can this be undone
Blood red the sky
Logic's been denied
Was this our fate
To profit from their hate
To help you ascend
From Hawk unto Raven
This rising wave of corpses
On which I ascend
Omnipresent forces
I shall Transcend
Unholy sacrifice
This shall be your demise
Horror before your eyes
Blood red the skies
Betrayer
Deceiver
Life taker
Kinslayer
Betrayer
Deceiver
Life taker
Kinslayer
Blot out the sun
The massacre's begun
Pervert the sky
Your end is surely nigh
This was decreed
Your death shall be the seed
Sacrificial lamb
A feast for the GodHand
We trusted you
To lead us to
A better life
Yet you only led us to our doom
Now the Red Eclipse draws near
The Sacred nocturnal festival is here
Let us present this distant setting
In this abstract time
The sacrificial brand has been scorched into your flesh
Now you shall be hunted to your very last breath
Darkness encroaches upon the depths of your mind
This shattered bond will haunt you 'til the end of time




He has spoken the invocation of your doom
He has spoken the invocation of your doom

This group has some of the most powerful players I have ever seen. They are so in sync and in control of the music. The conductor is moving so perfectly as well! I wonder what the world would be like if every orchestra had him as a conductor.
