Solair of Astora

Time is convoluted. Heroes fade to cinder. But in the abyss? One spark remains. I step onto the parapet, the Burg is silent, dead The weight of hollow centuries is heavy on my head From Astora I have marched, through the fog and through the dread To find the burning father who is painting the sky red I am a warrior of sunlight, a pilgrim of the flame I carry lightning in my palm, I put the dark to shame They call me Solaire, remember the name I’m playing for the soul, I ain’t playing for the game Look at the horizon, see the way it glows? While everybody’s fearing what the deep dark knows I’m standing with my arms up, striking up a pose Armor painted with the symbol where the true power flows I seek my own sun, a light that’s all mine To banish out the shadows and transcendentally shine If I could be so grossly incandescent, so divine I’d break the cycle of the curse and shatter the design PRAISE THE SUN! Let the fire burn the night away! PRAISE THE SUN! We live to fight another day! I am the anchor in the storm, the shield upon the wall I answer every summon, I answer every call Until the fading of the light, until the kingdom’s done I gaze into the sky, and I PRAISE THE SUN! Use the White Sign Soapstone, etch it on the floor Cross the gaps between the worlds, kick open the door Jolly cooperation, that’s the ethos, that’s the lore You and me against the titans, hear the demons roar We climbing up the church, bells ringing in the air Gargoyles turning into stone, but do you think I care? Then down to Anor Londo, the city of the glare Ornstein and Smough? Yeah, pull up a chair We slay gods, we slay legends, we slay the fear But the further that we go, the end is drawing near I feel a little cold, is my sun even here? Or is it just a lie whispered in a hollow ear? Lost Izalith, the lava burns beneath my feet The chaos eaters marching to a different kind of beat I’m searching for a light, for a victory so sweet But the maggots in the dark, they offer a retreat Is this it? Is this the sun I sought? It’s glowing in the dark, it’s everything I bought It’s crawling on my head, it’s consuming every thought My sun! My sun! Look at what I’ve caught! No. Cast it off. Focus the faith. I am not a maggot! I am a Lord! I will link the fire in the Kiln of the First Flame I will burn myself to ash just to save this frame Let the fire take my body, let it take my aim I finally found it I BECAME THE SUN!
