lyrics

All is not as it seems, Severian -
like all that was to never be is lost to the past
Gone as if in a dream,
the dragon devours the heart of the sun
This aeon is dust at the fading of day

A thousand ages in thy sight
Time is closing in on you

They're watching you now, the heralds on high
For judgment's awaiting the one who's cloaked in the night
How could you have foreseen the ghost of your deeds;
a shadow through centuries past, echoing into eternity?

So banish your fears, harden your heart,
And shield your spirit from the storm

What’s done has been done, but you must go on
So each man shall carry his sins
In service of hope, we’re awaiting the dawn

Sufficient is thine arm alone
As long as death should spare you, carry on
