The Sword - Dying Earth lyrics
[The Sword - Dying Earth lyrics]
Beneath a dimming sun great
Cities moulder and decay
In brooding nights of gloom and on
Through melancholy days
In the manses of the mages
Great magics still hold sway
And those who dwell within are won't to say
As the sun fades from the sky
This ancient earth prepares to die
Here at the end of all time
A slow demise so saturnine
As aeons pass unheeded
Subtle sorcerers parlay
Among the haunted hills strange
Creatures stalk unwary prey
There may come no tomorrow so
All live for today
And the crimson twilight turns to grey
As the earth prepares to die
The waning sun fades from the sky
Here at the end of all time
Our slow demise becomes sublime
Cities moulder and decay
In brooding nights of gloom and on
Through melancholy days
In the manses of the mages
Great magics still hold sway
And those who dwell within are won't to say
As the sun fades from the sky
This ancient earth prepares to die
Here at the end of all time
A slow demise so saturnine
As aeons pass unheeded
Subtle sorcerers parlay
Among the haunted hills strange
Creatures stalk unwary prey
There may come no tomorrow so
All live for today
And the crimson twilight turns to grey
As the earth prepares to die
The waning sun fades from the sky
Here at the end of all time
Our slow demise becomes sublime
