The sand in my eyes An hourgla** vision of time The end is near Grain by grain Each granular movement is pain But I'll not fear As the world burns around me I know that you will find me In the ashes World on fire (And heaven in flames) This funeral pyre (Is a coronation) The wicked fanfare And demon choir Deliver a new anthem Of darker days And suffering Who will come to save you? No heart made of stone Can beat with the blood I have sown In this garden of d**h Tears can't restore
The casualties of this war Now you've lost your way As the world burns around you The darkness will seat you Upon the throne World on fire (And heaven in flames) This funeral pyre (Is a coronation) The wicked fanfare And demon choir Deliver a new anthem Of darker days And suffering Who will come to save you? This battlefield inside the flesh A conflict for the ages The rise and fall within us all Our nature never changes World on fire World on tire
