When the Fires Cool Lyrics

When my fires burned, on that breaking dawn,
my eye awakened to the world and the universe
When I gazed upon, all the lands unknown
and I felt a power deep within that helped all grow

All came to know and revere me so,
all would worship the light so blindly not knowing what's to come

When the fires cool,
when the fires are no longer burning bright, the dark grows
When the fires cool,
when the fires retreat to the shadowed world and die
When my eyes are closed,
when the eye can no longer watch over your doomed world
When the fires cool,
when the fires see that there is nothing left

Worlds have come and gone, gods now forgotten,
wars and plagues have scourged the realm of men and the home of gods
I'm the constant being, every day I bring,
hope or fear to those who wait for me, days or months on end
Though it's life I bring, death is close within,
worlds will one day see me coming near, and then disappear
What is left of me, when my strength gives in,
and the light turns dark inside of me, in the growing cold
