lyrics

The endless train of birds has conquered the stormy skies
And staggered sanity that writhed in deadly strain

The earthly roads have twisted violently,
Transmuting the familiar shapes
The lattice of the time has melted,
Wrapped around itself,

The snows ignited the impending crimson waves
Of smoky gloom...

Where Babylon`s been wallowing in its pride of misery,
The box-shaped megalyths have been enduring their slow decay

The watchful waters undulate now
`Neath the ghastly steeps of frozen sands
Preparing to repel attacks of
Slow, morphing flames

Spilled `tween the clouds
Spilled between the raging clouds

Then they dispersed, revealing a revolving flaming orb...
Its searing radiance suffused whatever one could name
And when it slowly turned to me with its black side,
Its hidden shine was dazzling even more...

...The endless train of birds has stretched across the stormy skies,
And the decaying strongholds of the human fear kept their place,
But still I stare at clouds, where I have seen Black-Sided Sun,

And felt how deep within myself it kept revolving on and on, -
Personifying and revoking any hopes for change...

The high-born whores dance upon the tortured relics as before,
And mindless tyrants throw into the fire the children of their foes
And all the world`s lies feed on our grief blessed by Black-Sided Sun...

We may revel in wrath or fears, we may revel in our pains and tears,
Unname the joys and worship only misery...
But it is our choice which side of Sun to see.
