Ageless Fire
Vanum Lyrics

All that we have ever known,
Our knowledge is limited to what we have experienced so far, and we are restrained by what we haven't.

Imprisoned by what we have not.
We are held back and restricted by our lack of understanding and knowledge.

The tomb of ancient wisdom
The knowledge and wisdom from the past are buried and inaccessible to us.

Still dreamt of, though lost.
Despite the lost knowledge, we still yearn for it and hope for its revival.

Haunted by the spectres of myth.
Mythical beings and stories continue to linger in our thoughts and influence our beliefs.

Barren relics obscured by time.
Remnants of our past are no longer useful or applicable in our current situation, and time has made them indistinguishable.

Beyond the scattered ruins,
There is something more significant and meaningful beyond the physical ruins of our past.

Deeper than the aura of the word.
This significant meaning cannot be expressed or understood through mere words alone.

Language turns and the legend is alive.
Despite the limitations of language, myths and legends live on and continue to influence our culture and beliefs.

"Neither flesh nor fleshless,
The essence of our being is not just physical, nor is it entirely spiritual or non-physical.

Neither from nor towards;
Our existence is not just in relation to something else or dependent on external factors.

At the still point there the dance is...
In moments of stillness or clarity, we can experience the fullness of life.

There we have been:
We have experienced these moments before.

But I cannot say where.
We cannot pinpoint where these moments of clarity or fullness took place.

And I cannot say how long,
We cannot tell how long those moments lasted, as time does not necessarily dictate their value or impact.

For that is to place it in time"
To attach time to these experiences is to diminish their transcendent and timeless nature.

Time beyond time, beyond flesh, beyond fear.
Our experiences extend beyond the constraints of time, physical body, and the fear that holds us back.

In defiance of those who kneel.
We stand against those who submit to fear and lower themselves before it.

Brandishing steel at the inferno's edge.
We confront the destructive force of the inferno with weapons in hand.

War in the ageless fire of vengeance.
We fight against the destruction and injustice we see without regard for the limits of time.

Spirit terror in the mortal abyss
Our strength and bravery come from a spiritual source that can conquer even the depths of the mortal realm.

Rise through the Nexus as the Wheel TURNS.
We transcend the limits of time and exist in a greater space beyond the cycle of life and death.
