Gillie_B - Throne of Obsidian Lyrics

The sun has drowned itself in shame For witnessing what you bequeathed
On shadowed spires of bone and ash I built my throne and knew this wretched World beneath
Me crashed, a masterpiece of rue Your fleeting hope, a flickering spark against
The endless night Extinguished now, your temple's dark, consumed

By cold light Did you beg your gods for one more dawn
Did they answer your pleas? Their silence echoes power withdrawn, leaving
Only the breeze Secure the scent of your decay, the sweetness
Of your fear An intoxicating bouquet that draws me ever

Near
Drums kick with a happy, relentless rhythm Guitars play a light band, she's this Throne
Of obsidian Built upon your lies, a monumental oblivion
Where even memory dies, a requiem for the light

Sung by the lips of the damned, forever bound to my endless night
Forever I command
Empires crumbled into dust beneath my hollow gaze
The echoes of your hollow trust fill in my infernal place

You built your towers reaching high, seeking a glimpse of grace
But all that ascends must also die, then you call me empty space
The seers and prophets never saw this fall from such a height
Yet blinded by your arrogance, you clung to fading light

Now kneel before me, broken and spent As your world comes undone, another soul
Another lament Another victory won
Drums kick with a happy, relentless rhythm Guitars play a light band, she's this Throne
Of obsidian Built upon your lies, a monumental oblivion

Where even memory dies, a requiem for the light
Sung by the lips of the damned, forever bound to my endless night
Forever I command
Guitars crumbled into dust beneath my hollow gaze

The echoes of your hollow trust fill in my infernal place
You built your towers reaching high, seeking a glimpse of grace
But all that ascends must also die, then you call me empty space
From the ashes will anything rise to challenge this reign of dread

Or will the silence be your demise as hope itself lies dead
I walk among you unseen, unknown A chill against your skin, a whisper of the
Nothing you've sown The void closing in
Kick in with a happy, relentless rhythm Guitars play a light band, she's this throne

Of obsidian Built upon your lies, a monumental oblivion
Where even memory dies, a requiem for the light
Sung by the lips of the damned, forever bound to my endless night
Forever I command

This throne of obsidian Built upon your lies, a monumental oblivion
Where even memory dies, a requiem for the light
Sung by the lips of the damned, forever bound to my endless night
Forever I command
