Disinter - Ravages of the Nocturnal Sun

Ravages of the Nocturnal Sun

Granter of life, please taketh mine,
I hath fallen out of time.
The sun I sought hath fled the sky!
Is it all truly gone?

Lumps of charred flesh amidst ash and debris
Nourish the smoke spiraling o'er me
So sad my remains as they continue to be.
Yes, all is surely gone

I lay in this, my sacrosanctuary, its roof open to the sky.
My body's burnt and the air is so chilled --
My skin painfully dry.

I still yearn for the crippling flames which deformed my body to ash,
But the fires are far gone -- as is my flesh.
I lie drooling and abashed.... on the floor.

A wish to gaze up through the sky
But my eyes -- as ravaged as my face,
Thus in this setting dew I die
Despised and gagging in my fuming waste.

A wish to gaze up through the sky....
Thus in this setting dew I die.

Why hast thou left me, nocturnal sun?
Why hast thou destroyed me?

I burned as you set... Burned as you set.
I cannot move nor e'en breath. Why hast thou set?

Nocturnal sun of Set.

Flailing my flaming limbs
I was felled to the ground,
The clouds I thought ethereal were
the smoke in which I drown (x2)

(Chorus)
Therein lies another sun
just beneath the spectral moon,
Twas there I gazed till I was blind
and in its flames consumed.
I bled, I smothered lives
Now I call to thee with rasping cries
I'm damned to bear an urnful of woes
And without thou, age and die.

I knew I would burn. I must pay.

Alas and alack!
Hope is dead and flesh shriveled so black.
Alack and alas!
My limbs break apart, frail as glass.

[repeat chorus]

Therein... another sun.
Set hath come and gone. Gone....

Granter of naught and ended lives
whisk me away from whence I lie
I hath no skin but shan't repine,
I shall exist until I'm gone.

I am all but dead, I can feel each day flee
and the days into years and the years out of me.
Noons sun blisters my vast wounds -- a mockery
of the god who now is gone.
