Altar of the Lost Firmament

AT THE DAWN OF THE DARK AGE HOLDING IN HAND THE KEYS OF SION

THE PONTIFF OF SACRED EMPIRE HAD COUNTLESS DOORS TO UNLOCK

MANY WERE THE THEASURES SCATTERED ON THE BLESSED GROUNDS

THUS THE KINGDOM FELL IN A MAELSTROM OF STRIFE AND PLUNDER

INQUISITIONS SPREAD OVER THE HALLOWED REALM OF CANAAN

OPPRESSING WITH FEROCITY HUNDREDS OF PLACES OF WORSHIP

SURROUNDED BY THE AMBER WAVES OF THE PERPETUAL WASTELAND

A FORTIFIED TEMPLE OF STONE WAS BESIEGED BY THE HOLY KNIGHTS

 

KEEPER OF EMPYREAN MYSTERIES HIDDEN IN THE SEA OF THE SANDS

WAS OVERHELMED BY THE COLD STEEL AND THE JUDGMENT FLAMES

IN THE DEPHTS OF THE UNDERGROUND FARAWAY FROM A MORTAL SIGHT

ANCIENT PARCHMENTS WERE KEPT ON THE ALTAR OF FORGOTTEN TIME

SHATTERED THE GATE OF THE SANCTUM RAISING THEIR SWORDS TO THE SKY

THE CAVALRY BROKE INTO COURTYARD FOLLOWED BY A FRIGHTFUL WAR CRY

 

USELESS WERE THE PRAYERS OF SURRENDER BEFORE THEIR MIGHTY PASSAGE

NO LIVING SOUL WAS SPARED FROM THE RED CROSSED DEMONS OF CARNAGE

THE PYRES WERE LIT AT THE NIGHFALL PAINTING THE DUNES WITH VERMILION

THE DEAD WERE TOSSED INTO RAVENOUS FLAMES TURNING TO WAKE OF ASHES

THE HALLS COVERED WITH BLOOD WERE RAVAGED FOR SCRIPTURES AND GOLD

THE DARKNESS FELL UPON THE TEMPLE LEAVING BEHIND THE SCENT OF DOOM

NESTLED IN THE STILLNESS OF DUNGEON THE ALTAR OF THE LOST FIRMAMENT

WAS CARRIED OUT TO BE CONVEYED TILL THE HEART OF THE IMPERIAL LAND
