Ashen One from Abyssal by Kaathe

Vanguard
We face an immortal foe
See our blood upon the snow?
So cast off your woe
(You lived to see us fall, Bind us to the squall)
This fell curse comes born of a wretched seed
A tomb befitting mortal greed
So bleed with me
Before you are too late, cast aside your fate

Cascading moments converging in time
Lock the gates, and gaze at a world realigned

Witness a dying world revived

Lo, for a moment, witness a world’s relief
A breeze floating across soft pastures verdant green

Stricken by the blight
Green gives way to white
Fabric of all life
Unraveling on sight
As the threads ascend
Dancing in the wind
A chaotic web of light
Shining through the mist
Gripping all in a violent gale
An ancient evil lies beyond the pale

This light’s gone dim
This world’s grown dark
And the sky’s caved in
We’re closing in

I pray one day this torment will recede
Even if my flame is burnt to ash
And the darkness devours me

Woven into the sky
Bodies collapse and collide
Taunted by mortal eyes
Glimmering crimson over twilight sky
Fading to black with no end in sight
Ashen vision realized
Spiritual death will bring us new life
