Vanum - Beneath the Pillars of Earth and Air lyrics

Invocation, seven rites
Pillars of this cursed firmament
Brought to life
Each before me revealed in flesh
Offer elixir to abate my death

In return for tribute
A duty pledged
A mortal offering to divine ends

"Will you free me from my past?
And release me from my shame?
Unshackle me from my burden
This prison I have made
This labor of choice, this weight unnamed?"
The light of grace veils
The chains of servitude

Invocation, seven rites
Bring me darkness, forsake the light
Beyond redemption, as I have always been
Above reprisal, the right I have claimed

Beyond redemption
For it is not yours to bestow
Above reprisal
For I am the master of all that is known

All that I have been
All that I've strived to be
Beyond redemption, above reprisal
The right I have claimed
Will, will you hold this vision?
Will you tend to the embers?
Know, know that this death
Is not defeat
