Monumental

(album: Let There Be Fire - 2018)

Awake inside the nexus of the earth
A place of comfort, for spirits' birth
Your essence held, in my unbroken hands
A shadow lost to foiled plans
In the peak of the night
I will set you free
Now you're a ghost in the light
With the brand that we
Hold inside our hearts
Death's own counterpart
Respite from the reaper's lie

So may your dreams be monumental
When your spirit guides the way
Within the flicker of a candle
I will heal your soul's decay
We share a fate
Trapped on a page
By the author of our world's demise
In your eyes
I see the pain
Your targets slain
I will be the whispers in your mind
The demon inside

A dark embrace, the keeper of the lost
For this old city's unyielding cost
So take my hand and grow within my power
Oh, slayer of kings, let this demon devour
In the black of the night
You have been set free
Now you're a ghost in the light
With a purpose we
Know inside our hearts
Death's own counterpart
Respite from the reaper's lie

Strengthen your desire
Consume the hellfire
Don't let down your guard
Let in the darkness
You will defeat this
Trial of ancient gods
Take me in spirit
Demon adherent
When you're the last one to survive
Spirit, stay gentle
Next monumental
Will you keep the fire alive?

I, with the power inside set an end to these
Lies, from the deep and the quiet, set the whispers free
Sleep, my old enemy
Let come an end to me
Traveler, please let me fade
Here, at the end of the line all has been returned
Leave, from the land of the dead, and the souls upturned
Please, child, remember me
Lost in a memory
Let this demon rot away
