I'm not insane

that's how it seems though

spiteful, cruel but wise

beyond his age

my body fails

my soul will rise



the end of life's immortalized

disease and agony

and I see death through golden eyes

beyond the door

there's something more

it seems there's just one way



on through the heat

I've felt the touch of evil

I still feel the icy claw in me



for a descent price

I've banned kindness from my heart

the spirit of all truth and beauty

pawned for my desire



and from the flames

as chance would have it

the soulforged will come into light

and from the flames

as chance would have it

the soulforged, the stainless will rise



I will never change my mind

I will leave it all behind



and through the hour glass

everything's grey

everyone's pale

no colour nor beauty will enlighten my heart

the seat of life's empty and cold

cadaverous you all seem to me

stillborn but you're still alive

you're still alive



truth lies in loneliness

when hope is long gone by

I'll wipe out the bliss of the new age

and welcome you precoius night



and from the flames

as chance would have it

the soulforged will come into light

and from the flames

as chance would have it

the soulforged, the stainless will rise



from a distant time

voices echo in the hall
