Hollenthon - Once We Were Kings lyrics

Fire...I hold the mythic flame within my palm Fire...Wildly dancing in the still of night This dream that fades before it soars A frozen lake of blood and guilt Abandon hope, who enter here My love has died so long ago Cowards...You preached from temples made of flesh and bone Envy...She was the poison torturing your souls Gorging...Devouring k**er gnawing at our scars Fury...A beast in bondage rotting in the ground And my heart and my soul flee with the flames Once we were kings Before your throne We tasted d**h For promised stars in skies we longed Yet stars don't shine, where darkness reigns May fiery hope deliver us And my heart and my soul flee with the flames Once we were kings And the wind gently sings Of the lives we have lost But once we were kings And as the fire sears our weary flesh The seven rays have lost their hold The slaves of yore rise with the smoke This reign shall fall and rise no more Your wrath remains, your pleasure wretched A wayward child lost in the storm Forgotten feats return to haunt your doom I will not be the last to go And my heart and my soul flee with the flames Once we were kings And the wind gently sings Of the lives we have lost But once we were kings...
