Paragon of Forsaken Virtue Lyrics

As the night consumes the final dawn
Nebulous secrets call beyond the fog

My heart encased in stone
Yet sorrow dwells within
Thorns adorn my throne
Enshrined by immortal sin

I rise again to fall into darkness
I rise again as the astrum argentum

The consecration of fleshly demise
Watching empires fall beneath blackened skies
Chastised in blood as his sheep now repent
Rejoicing in their false God's impotence

In the darkness I stand now immortal
Engulfed in sin, I reign eternal

Sequestered in the silent resonance
Within the ashes of life's incense

Hell's fires rise to engulf heaven
Leaving no trace that it exists

No peace is found in the haunted sanctuary
Lost in a world of imaginary fears
Cursed with the burden of a loathsome perception
Under the spell of blackened delirium

Sow the wind and reap the maelstrom
Drown the voice of reason
Lost to shame and dead to honor
Dispraised in blank despondency
