Songtext zu 'Burning Autumn' von Antipope

Downfall
Conqueror amidst the firewall
Downfall
Lies in ruin yet his doom spared him for more wrath

Surrounded by the dreadful fires
No light but the dark did they cast
No stars did blink in his baleful sight

From darkened skies,
when all love died,
I looked for her but knew
that she was cursed like me forever more.

With tears I recall
the times spent under the moonlight
when day was not yet born
and stars still sang their ironies.
She was the love
forbidden by God
and I spied like a serpent to steal her away
To the place where Thrones did not hold sway

Like flaming rubies his eyes still hold the light
Stolen from the upper fantasies
As a burning autumn leaf he fell
Like a crimson tear from his loverï's eye

That fateful kiss,
a sip from the stream that flows,
beyond the mystic stars that keep
all the secrets next to eternity.
Euphoria and Sofia,
the names she whispered me,
triple-six times I cried them aloud,
when they came to cut our embrace.

A world reduced to a scream

They tore her lucid soul away,
right before my eyes,
the uncut version of my cursed life.
Hearing my death-sentence
in fevered eclipse of fate,
while I cursed them like secrets
I heard them shouting my name

Infidel Infidel Infidel

Gather me armies for sole purpose
to set heaven ablaze.

Vengeance!

Burn!
The fires scream when he rages
down the aisle of Lordï's temple
To haunt their sleep,
the virtues weep,
the newborn demons feast on blood
of celestial beings

Like inescapable winter
the wrath of the Lord
freezes burning legion
and forces Morning Star
to bow before
the heavens horde
but he wields will like a sword
and cuts the bonds set by his former Lord.

"Thou art forsaken and thy fate shall be
to wander the Earth bereft of hope or
Light"

Cast down
he was
heart torn apart.
Engulfed by endless night,
in burning darkness conceived
to torment rebellious fallen gods.

To darkened skies,
where all love died,
out of good to seek means of evil
he swore to plague them
forever more.
