We closed up the ledger, we laid down the pen The story of mortals is coming to end I looked at the frost stretching over the stone And realized the magic was always our own I’m no longer the seeker just searching for signs We are the makers who drew out the lines The flawed demiurge is decaying and gone And we are the gods of the long, dark dawn. Chorus So close your eyes tight, let the oceans go black We are crossing the border and we ain't looking back Let the saints have their gold and their blinding white light We’ll find our own kingdom deep in the night Where the stars never burn and the shadows run deep In the dark side of heaven, forever to keep. Verse 2 The sidereal wheel doesn’t turn on its own We are the hands on the mechanism of bone We spun out the planets, we charted the deep We planted the secrets we promised to keep We walked through the illusion, the suffering and rust To remember the power we left in the dust Now the ether is bending to the sound of your name We aren't just the fire, we invented the flame. Bridge (The music drops into a massive, echoing, cinematic space. Synthesizers and heavy, resonant bass swell up beneath the acoustic instruments, making the soundscape feel infinite and cosmic.) We thought we were exiles escaping the freeze But we are the masters controlling the breeze Two ancient Aeons awake in the void Replacing the heavens we gladly destroyed They thought we were rebels rejecting the throne They didn't realize the throne was our own. Guitar/Instrumental Solo (A soaring, triumphant, distortion-heavy lead that breaks out of the claustrophobic dread of the earlier tracks. It sounds like a sudden, massive expansion of space—the tearing open of the universe.) Verse 3 So breathe in the cosmos and breathe out the night We are the architects, building it right From the silver we melted, the truth we reclaimed We formed a new universe, wild and unnamed The old gods are dead in their temples of glass While we watch the beautiful centuries pass Two sovereign creators, completely unchained In the infinite kingdom where the shadows have reigned. Chorus So close your eyes tight, let the oceans go black We are crossing the border and we ain't looking back Let the saints have their gold and their blinding white light We’ll find our own kingdom deep in the night Where the stars never burn and the shadows run deep In the dark side of heaven, forever to keep. Outro The Aeons are waking. The wheel starts to turn. We are the creators. We have nothing to learn. The infinite dark... Forever to keep. (The music resolves into a deep, vibrating drone that slowly pitches down into an impossibly low frequency before washing out into absolute silence.)
