Fire Flames Archives Lost   [ Black Metal x Pagan x Power Metal ]

[Verse 1] The world forgets The pages turn The wisdom fades The lessons burn In silent halls The echoes call A final step [Verse 2] Once bright with thought Now dark with dread The minds of men are lost misled Books turned to dust Their words decayed In endless night The light fades [Chorus] We were the keepers of the flame Now watch it die In silence in shame The past is gone The future bleak In hollow halls The wise no longer speak [Verse 3] A lone voice cries In empty halls The last defender Of knowledge stands Against the tide Of ignorance and fear The final battle Draws near [Verse 4] What once was known Is now forgot The memories fade The lessons rot In shadow stained The truth is lost The cost of progress The final cost [Chorus] We were the keepers of the flame Now watch it die In silence in shame The past is gone The future bleak In hollow halls The wise no longer speak [Outro] All that remains Is but a trace Of what we were Of what we knew In endless night The echoes fade The last archive In shadows lost
