Zenith

With thanks and love to my dubyaBEE crew, @joshuasca and @sadiejade93 The Genuhrahl, and the Six of Ums @sixxum. -- [Verse 1] Near to the edge Of a temple built in awe By trembling hands who knelt before their gods The Empress rose Her will a silent flame A forge that shaped the shattered world they knew (The longer the shadow) (The taller the flame) [Verse 2] The Empress tore Through the world like hell spawn Fighting her way into the people's hearts Each battle fought Each victory for us Was a link in a chain forevermore (The longer the shadow) [Pre-Chorus] The taller the flame (The longer the shadow) The taller the flame (The longer the shadow) [Chorus] (ahhhhh ahhhh ahhhhhhhh ahhhhh) Seven thousand years they reigned Velvet and rainbows and fire in their eyes (ahhhhh ahhhh ahhhhhhhh ahhhhh) Seven thousand years they reigned Flame ever taller, and a darkness rises [Musical Interlude] (ahhhhh ahhhh ahhhhhhhh ahhhhh) (ahhhhh ahhhh ahhhhhhhh ahhhhh) [Instrumental Flourish] [Verse 3] The Stargazers etched Every secret into stone A chronicle of loss and hope and Love and destiny and fate and fortune Rivers stained with golden sun Their garments woven of Zenith’s daring dreams (The longer the shadow) [Chorus] (ahhhhh ahhhh ahhhhhhhh ahhhhh) Seven thousand years they reigned Velvet and rainbows and fire in their eyes (ahhhhh ahhhh ahhhhhhhh ahhhhh) Seven thousand years they reigned Flame ever taller, and a darkness rises [Bridge] Stargazers marked the Dance of flame in the skies And measured the shadow As they continued to rise [Chorus] (ahhhhh ahhhh ahhhhhhhh ahhhhh) Seven thousand years they reigned Velvet and rainbows and fire in their eyes (ahhhhh ahhhh ahhhhhhhh ahhhhh) Seven thousand years they reigned Flame ever taller, and a darkness rises [Instrumental Flourish] [Outro] (ahhhhh ahhhh ahhhhhhhh ahhhhh) In their ancient towers The Stargazers trace the stars And measured the shadow As they continued to rise (ahhhhh ahhhh ahhhhhhhh ahhhhh) The taller her flame (flame, flame, flame, flame) The longer her shadow (shadow, shadow, shadow, shadow)
