Lies you've consumed for all this timeYou ignore your spirit's criesThe depths of the Aspect's crimesTo which you've closed your eyesBleed for a war not of your ownTrapped by steel and stoneEnslaved by the overlordsWhile they destroy your homeRise and fightRise insideJoin me and be freeFor I am your destinyRiseArise, the elements heed our callTo bring about an Aspect's fallWe will free this worldFrom the Titan's grip once and for allWe will no longer be boundOr chained to this groundThe storm erupts from these cloudsAnd rains fire all aroundSee and take back what's oursBreathe in the air of our shoresWe will conquer this worldEternity will forever be yoursRise with meCast aside the chains of your livesBreathe in deep and open your eyesA new world is born and we are the kingsWe are the future that we have set freeWe are the future that we have set free

Free at lastReleased from a prison to avenge the pastNo time to savor the freedom I seeAs I gather my strength to pursue destinyYou all have your schemes and your tricks and your plansYou all have your ways and too much time on your handsYou lack the will to do what we know must be doneBurn it all down, this war must be wonThis war must be won.Now I spread my wingsThousands of years make me eager to feedUnbridled fury, I am what you needNow is the time to make them all bleedWhy do you all waste time with all these silly games?I will make them all bow through brute force and flamesI will not stand by and I will not idly waitYou fools, you cowards...why are you so afraid?This is the fate that we embrace.Why are you so afraid?

4.

I am not your puppet and I am not a slaveI will not dance to the tune of these gamesYour way is but a failure, but I have found the keyI have found the way to make the whole world bleedI am not a slave to your idealsI am not your own tool to wieldI will burn this whole world downAshes will rain from the heavens to the groundAshes will rain.My time is nowMy purpose has been foundI am unboundI will lay waste all aroundI am the wayI will be the end of daysMy will be doneThis will be a world in flamesWatch them cower in fear.

What have we become?What have we unleashed upon the world?This chaos wrought of our mistakesOur doubt, our weakness, our weak-willed escapesTime has opened inescapable jawsAs we bound ourselves to a hopeless causeSurviving on only hopes and dreamsOur ignorance has planted these seedsI've seen the world endOnly to be brought back againTime and time again we fightWith never a victory in sightEnemies at every turnEverything we love seems to crumble and burnThe weight of mortals and Kin alikeIs carried on weary shoulders and tired mindsWe pay the price for the gift receivedBeholden to Gods we will never see againAlas, the time is nowOne last stand to honor this sacred groundThis is the world's endCan we bring it back again?The weight of the world is hereCan we carry it again without fear?This is the world's endCan we bring it back again?The weight of the world is hereCan we carry it again without fear?This is the time we wasteThis is the cost of our mistakeThis is how we bleedI will never forget their screams.

My wrath is unrestrained; my anger can't be containedI will not be consumed by ignorance and insane foolsMy resolve is still untapped; my restraint is fading fastI will rise once again; I will put this to an endHere and now I stand while you rage helplesslyI have come alive; I will not fail, for you cannot break meI am unbroken, I am the true flameI am the terrible means to an endFire and flame must be fought with fiery rageI am the ashes scattered on this final pageI will erase your kind...from all the rest of timeI will watch you break...and perish amongst the flamesI will erase your mind...buried in a grave no one can findI am your bitter end...no one can help you now.No one can help you now.My face is the last thing you will ever beholdI will put an end to everything you've ever knownYour road to power decays into a dead endI have laid waste to every turn and every bendHere and now you stand while I look down upon youThe Dream cannot die, it doesn't fade, it grows...you can't stop itYou will be broken; (you are) nothing but a nameYou are the consequence that we must tolerateFire and flame will be extinguished all the sameFor I am the ashes scattered on your final pageI will erase your kind...from all the rest of timeI will watch you break...and perish amongst the flamesI will erase your mind...buried in a grave no one can findI am your bitter end...no one can help you now.No one can help you now.I am unbroken; I am the true flame...I am the terrible means to an end.

Ashes scattered all aroundAs I burn the Dream to the groundMillions will burnAs I relish their dying soundsI can smell your fearAs I revel in all your painAs you all disappear, consumed byShadowflameNo one will know your namesI am the beginning and the endI am all that's left.I am the monster in your dreamsClose your eyes; I'm all you seeNothing can clear me from your mindI am the end of all your kind.Thousands of years locked away; an ever-burning rageNow it's unchained, and a price must be paidEverything you love, everything you've lostYour lives are all a waste, consumed byShadowflameNo one will know your namesI am the beginning and the endI am all that's left.I am the monster in your dreamsClose your eyes; I'm all you seeNothing can clear me from your mindI am the end of all your kind.All you defendBurns the same in the end.

8.

I am shadowflame incarnateI am nightmare rediscoveredI am worldbreaker resurrectedI am fate and a flame that can't be smotheredI am prophecy in fleshI am the only future leftI am the embodiment of fearI have come to burn down every last thing here.I am the primal wrathI am the blazing pathI am the world gone insaneI am the world in flames.I am everything you loveTurned to ash in your mouth from the horrors aboveI am your darkest fearsUnfolding all around as you're reduced to tearsI am the new realityI am the future you seeI am the embodiment of fearI have come to burn down every last thing hereI am the primal wrathI am the blazing pathI am the world gone insaneI am the world in flames.Burn this whole world downBurn everything to the groundAshes to ashes, dust to dustEverything decays as your tears turn to rust.
