Let There Be Fire

Unleashed by a meeting of fate
A knight comes along as I wait
A desperate cry, the mantle of «chosen"passed on
So where would I even begin?
A saint in a valley of sin
Both above and below, the might of the gods is long gone
Hollowed life, new rebirth
Set forth a soldier consumed by the earth
Burdened down, last to die
Laden with monstrous souls deep inside
Sacrificed into flame
Now fed as kindling they all burn the same
With warmth to stave off the end
I’ll quench the cinders' desire
To let there be fire again
Where light shines above the abyss
I’ll pass through the darkening mists
At the toll of the bells, I’ll rise to face legends divine
But where are the guardians now?
Our idolized sun has burned out
His throne left to ash, and his legacy soon to be mine
I’m a shadow apart
Passed through time and the dark
From a treacherous start
To the ember’s last spark
Like a moth to the flame
I’ve wandered too close to come home
I’m ready now, ready for
Knights burned away
From the sun’s glory days
Lifeless ashes give way
To this lone wolf, afraid
I will carry the light
And build on the pyres with my bones
