The Funeral Pyre Lyrics


A fire shall burn on a starless night

Where the dead and alive unite in a choir

The forest sleeps in the dead of night

Awaiting for the dawn to arise

God of fire, god of death

What is the path to enlightenment?

Take me down the road where no man has been

There's a fire inside brighter than the sun

God of fire, god of death

Show me the path to enlightment

If you require a sacrifice then I will provide and leave this world behind

God of flame and shadow

Spread your disease upon those who deny you

Dance with the fire, and embrace the kiss of death

Hear the words beyond the void, play every dissonant chord

Beautiful in color, as in tone

I have seen my death before these eyes

I have seen the end of this world

Light the torch and sound the bell

For I am on my way

I set my sail

To a world unknown

Towards the southern shores

Towards eternal death

We were born and we died together - on the funeral pyre
