Svärd - Metempsicosis

There is a crownless majesty to the life of which you dream
But as I face the mounting dread of a final breath
My sight reaches forward
Blackened and everlasting

A hungering void
Devouring the flesh,
It seeps through bone and lung
Its restless seed, a tyrant truth
To which we all belong

Grant me life beyond life
To delve beneath time
And meet my doom with arms wide
And greet the stars as one

Grant me life beyond life
To delve beneath time
And meet my doom with arms wide
And greet the stars as one

I’ve dealt with vermin my whole life
You were not the first and you won’t be the last
But this world of ashes belongs to you now
I must head back to someplace higher

There is a crownless majesty to the life of which you dream
But it is not my wish

A hungering void
Devouring the flesh,
It seeps through bone and lung
Its seed, a tyrant truth
To which we all belong

I will find my way among the damned.
My sojourn begins now.
