I'm not insane

that's how it seems though

spiteful, cruel but wise

beyond his age

my body fails

my soul will rise

the end of life's immortalized

disease and agony

and I see death through golden eyes

beyond the door

there's something more

it seems there's just one way

on through the heat

I've felt the touch of evil

I still feel the icy claw in me

for a descent price

I've banned kindness from my heart

the spirit of all truth and beauty

pawned for my desire

and from the flames

as chance would have it

the soulforged will come into light

and from the flames

as chance would have it

the soulforged, the stainless will rise

I will never change my mind

I will leave it all behind

and through the hour glass

everything's grey

everyone's pale

no colour nor beauty will enlighten my heart

the seat of life's empty and cold

cadaverous you all seem to me

stillborn but you're still alive

you're still alive

truth lies in loneliness

when hope is long gone by

I'll wipe out the bliss of the new age

and welcome you precoius night

and from the flames

as chance would have it

the soulforged will come into light

and from the flames

as chance would have it

the soulforged, the stainless will rise

from a distant time

voices echo in the hall

"come and join us

enter life and "

everything is gone now

and through the looking glass

I still fear mortality and

its loss in the end

unlimited power in my hands

the claw of the dragon ascends

"mourn for his lost soul

he's cursed and condemned"

each step I take

may it hurt may it ache

leads me further

away from the past

but as long as i breathe

each smile on my bleak face

I'm on my way to find

back to the peace of mind

and from the flames

as chance would have it

the soulforged will come into light

and from the flames

as chance would have it

the soulforged, the stainless will rise

I will never change my mind

I will leave it all behind
