The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara - Mysterium Tremendum

Robbed of innocence
Shattered grace
In a world where darkness
Finds its place

A tapestry woven with deceit
Where shadows dance and hearts retreat
Deception's cruel game
Fuelling chaos and fame

Beneath the burning sun
The spirit forges on
Drawing strength from the battle worn
The fallen
The long gone

Emperors
Clasps their thrones
Built on greed
The massеs bleed on their knees
They plead

Imploring gods who turn thеir deaf ears away
As empire crumbles
Blackened skies betray
The tides are changing
I will arise
Body and soul unchained

This is the final journey
Will you walk me to the end
Let my name be spoken
Do not forget me

For in the heart of every empire's throne
Lies corruption
Tyranny
Seeds of the unknown
As we fight amongst ourselves
The cycle continues a perpetual stage

For am I the spirit
Timeless and immense
Marching through oblivion
Eternal recompense

It’s in the air
It’s in the mist
Something stirs between shadow and light

It chills my bones
Yet fills my being
A feeling
Creeping in my flesh
I tried to look away
But gaze forever affixed
What a strange and numinous sight

The fear
The fascination
A great and terrible awe

I hear a voice call to me
Through a light
Only I could see
The dance of death
Telling stories of life

I feel the stars and heavens above
No longer am I
The creature within me

There
Something in you will die
But I will finally be free
Released from this clay that moulds me

I no longer fear
For I’m ready to meet my maker
The creator of all worlds
Here
There is no darkness at all
I am rested
I am restored

I am I
And you are you
What we were to each other
We are still
