Emperor - With Strength I Burn Lyrics
Deep Green Dark ChaosBlinded I run down these pathsBy heart I know themThey lead to the soaring cliffsStout they stand above the water's edgeLifelessAnd this is my foundationCold stoneFormed only by winds and timeHow invulnerableLifelessAhh...I have longed to be at one with thisYet, the waters call my nameFor once I wish to seeThe entity behind the voiceThe face of this seductionThe beauty of my painAm I blessed or am I cursed by thy presence?What is my crime?What is my deed?Is this life my redemption?Shall I repent or proceed?I hate my fleshIts dimension poisoned my soul with doubtIt made me question the essence of...The 'I'Slaves are those of this worldGiven freedom to lay the chains upon The MasterThe wolf is no longer freeRelease the chains and come for meSuddenly, his mournful cries were stunned.Out of the cold mist came three enthralling ships.Sails torn by many a storm, and the bows adorned by themost fierce gargoyles he'd ever laid eyes upon. Yet, thecrew they bore... Three times twelve in numbers. Theystood motionless, wrapped in grey, worn gowns.And from behind their shadowed faces the seductive chanting.Bidding him on board. without hesitation, he accepted.And away they sailed...Upon these seasWherein I drowned so many timesI scatter the ashes of destinyStill my flame is in hungerWith fire in my heartShall I greet the shores aheadThough, I know not what will burn...Desire...Ahh...In the distanceI hear the waves wash over solid groundAnd in this moment I am struck blindGrant me sight so I can seeThat which lies ahead of meCursed be my mortal eyesFor dying in this realm of deathHear my call...I return to the soaring cliffsThey truly shine of strengthEven though I nothing learnedWith strength I burn
