The Lord of Burning Heaven
Eclipse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Handsome, dignified, uncompromising and...
Empty as a dried up goblet of wine
The Lord of Burning Heaven
My Lord, sadness fills up you heart
Sadness and scarlet tears
Drowning in golden blood
Sweet but treacherous
Screaming shedding tears
Screaming from behind the glass wall
Take out your hand
Catch the branch of the oak
Pick up from the ground your standard
Don't let it wallow in the mud
Don't stop singing
Let your hymn be heard
Stand in the front of your regiments
Let your name be praised again
Don't stop singing
Let your hymn be heard
Let it flow over the mountains
Like an eagle let it rise
Don't stop singing
Handsome, dignified, uncompromising and...
Empty as a dried up goblet of wine
The Lord of Burning Heaven
My Lord, sadness fills up you heart
Sadness and scarlet tears
Drowning in golden blood
My Lord, sadness fills up you heart
Pick up from the ground your standard
Don't stop singing
Let your hymn be heard
Let it flow over the mountains




Like an eagle let it rise
Don't stop singing

I don't usually like symphonic black metal, but this is actually really damn good! I especially love dorsacharm's venomous colors though, that's nearly atmospheric it sounds like to me
