Last Glimpse of Light Lyrics

now pale their light to suffer dim eclipse, speak phrases in the books unknown
fluent and limpid, like a crystal stream, make soil with crystal horrors teem

warring winds are scattered over seas
disturbance courses the tide
until the rivers stand still with frost
and woods cannot support their burden, anymore...

should hecatombs each morning rise and bodies my cruel altars dye
should costly loads of incense burn, their fumes ascending to the sky

in vain you shun the din of war
of war and horror's stormy main
in vain with anxious eyes you fear
you fear unwholesome terror reign

in dirt there lies heroic seed, lie gods and heroes 'neath the steed
still sad they lie and still forsworn, humans still and still forlorn

we all must view the flood that cuts that harshly cuts the dreary plains
and are by Satan's brood condemned condemned to neverending pains

delusions of unreachable
salvation, no more preachable
for their last light is far away
their fucking light is far away!

so, all must vanish, all must end, must end in sinister torment
it's just a fleeting glimpse of light, a glimpse buried by total night
