I: The Rendering
Oh, you mighty one who once walked among us all
And now you lie, bound to a felled and wormrotted shell
Lo, our bodies shall be given to our mother earth
And so shall our bones be scattered upon these sacred grounds
II: Transcendence
(interlude)
(solos: Steve/Mat)
Here you lie as thy soul ascends up from these haunted groves
Free is the light that you once held within thy heart
So make this climb up from this sylvan tomb
Rise and take your place amongst the gods.
Ascend to the stars
With arms outstretched to the sun
And with arms outstretched to the stars
Behold the reign of thy twilight shall fall
And so come forth with arms outstretched to the sky
So rise!
