Emperor - He Who Sought The Fire lyrics

and again he came to cherish

the comfort of mysteries

inspiring and far away

timeless in the moment

they painted immortality

forever drawn towards the centre

of this ensorcelling flame

yet, still in fear of the sacrifice

it would take to know its name

"Do not despair", said the mystery

"You will always have a friend in me

until the day you break my code

then I will be gone and you are free...

...to manifest another"

towards the heavens he did aspire

now he shall burn who sought the fire

some will mourn the ashes cold

while others behold the inferno unfold

forever drawn towards the centre

of this ensorcelling flame

yet, still in fear of the sacrifice

it would take to know its name

now he shall burn who sought the fire

to manifest another
