The Grinning Mist

(album: Afterglow - 2016)

No light can survive forever
The absent sun left a hole in the sky
Clutching to the hungering waves
Empty the throne of the father star
Empty and vast is the sky
Dragged to the sea by the great below
Leaving the world to eternal night

No flame burns forever
No glory lasts
Under siege by the night
And so the day falls defeated

The fire that burn has faded
Faded away from the sky
Eternal shadows drown the land
The moon new ruler of the day
Vast and still is the ocean
Great devourer of the above

The king of stars is dead
Struck by the dagger of night
A grinning mist rules the surface
The father of stars has fallen
No one has traveled this far
An emptiness with no horizon
The king has fallen
