Abyss, the Destroyer

from A Waltz for Apophenia by A Dream of Poe

lyrics

Hunger drives the beast.
(The world aches with indifference.)
The wolf and the chariot in the sky.
(A world of envy and decadence.)
Blood on the hands of the high priest.
(On its oblivious final days.)
Let it rain, let it fall.
(Let the demons screech and crawl.)

Sköll unleashed awaits.
Mistress of the deep
Drag the carcass.
Lay the horses to sleep.
May your feet go faster
And your body be filled with strength.
May you feast on the flesh
Of your eternal prey

Sköll, unleash
Thy rage complete.
Ragnarök is upon us,
Not by water but fire.

Treachery to spread mercy.
(Set your eyes on the sky.)
A fiery arrow from the abyss.
(A condemnation to unify.)
A burning planet, so otherworldly.
(A scorched land to glorify.)
Let it pour, let it fall.
(Let the weak screech and crawl.)

Sköll, unleash
Thy rage complete.
Set the Sun toward us
To cleanse us by fire.

Our end awaits.
We understand our fortune.
Maybe liars, thieves and beggars
Rowing in shame.
Maybe saviours, healers, and leaders
But all incomplete.
The course is set to free all our suffering.
