Hymn Of The Hourglass

Lyrics

So it's come to this, our task is Clearer than the skies we used to Stare into when times were peaceful Before the stain of evil Shame that we'll destroy the world You fought so hard to save But this earth is far beyond its saving The light of hope is far past fading So we climb to the summits of mountains To offer ourselves to the gods who are waiting (Come cleanse the earth) (So we may begin again) To end The world again Oh we can't save ourselves But we won't let evil win We pray to end This world again You tried your best and lost So now we offer up our world To death itself To death we drink tonight O, God of Death! O, merciful end! We stand today To ask for your forgiveness Entreating you to end this darkness The balance has been torn to pieces And left to rot and fade It's clear to us this earth is fallen The light of hope is near forgotten A sacrifice in the name of the living We offer this world to the fate it's begotten The ritual begins The blood drips from our hands We grasp each other's wrists And plead for swift and painless ends At your feet our whole lives served Taught to heed your will from birth Now may this prophecy of death Be fulfilled by your dark works All the anger ever wrought All the wars we ever fought Every child lost to disease Every sin against the gods Led to this, our last decree May your sword, with godly speed Rend good and evil alike Wipe this cursed planet clean
