Chapter 2
(Cursed land in absence of rain. The myth of the first redeemer, the dreamer who walks on the clouds)
Autumn dusk, this pagan earth bearing the mark of an elder sin.
Cursed skies, barren sites, darkened shrine, candle of burning doom.
(Chorus)
Pagan lord almighty father, ruler of the skies.
Ancient dreamer of the earth, glorious from birth.
You unfold the deeds of fall, roar above us all.
Thunder dancing in your hand, now wash away the land.
Autumn dusk, these silent seas bearing the mark of forgotten storms.
Cursed skies, barren sites, darkened shrine, candle of burning doom.
Suffering this curse for too long, souls went black, never to forget our ways of old, honouring the ones below, anticipating the redeemer.
