In the Shadow of a Blackened Sun

[Vocals: non-rhotic accent, deep male voice, raspy] [Verse 1: urgent, fast tempo, chunky riff] Through endless oceans of obsidian waves, The binding of chains blindfolds all our eyes A ghost-born lament where the lifeless have won, We sail, forsaken, In the shadow of a blackened sun. [Instrumental Interlude: lead guitar arpeggio solo] [Verse 2] Through currents baptised on the sleepless tides, Mortis, the keeper, walks bound to my side. The guilt of his sin, like a curst sealost beast, Cuts through to set sail On Voh-tuhmzs first voyage. [Pre-Chorus] And in the ebon glare, No light is to come. We sail through despair, In the shadow of a blackened sun. [Chorus: Urgent, anthemic, harmonised, chunky riff] In the shadow of a blackened sun, Mortis leads us on, With guilt as his lantern, (ohh ohh) In the shadow. of a blackened sun (In the shadow. of a blackened sun) In the shadow. of a blackened sun. (a blackened sun) (sun, sun, sun, sun) [Instrumental: Flourish] [Verse 2: sparse riffs, perdussion driven] A dance on the edge of the Nevermore, Razored on the edge of the Nevermore, Mortis, so burdened, speaks tales to forget, Each word a misdeed He yet still regrets. [Vocals: non-rhotic accent, deep male voice, raspy] [Instrumental break: 4 bars, chunky powerful palm-muted riffs, virtuoso guitar solo] [Instrumental break: 4 bars, chunky powerful palm-muted riffs, virtuoso guitar solo] (in the shadow) [Chorus: Anthemic, chunky riff, drums chase vocals] In the shadow of a blackened sun, Mortis leads us on, With guilt as his lantern, (ohh ohh) In the shadow. of a blackened sun (In the shadow. of a blackened sun) (ohh woah ohh ohh) In the shadow.  of a blackened sun. (a blackened sun) (sun, sun, sun, sun) [Bridge] Through oceans endless  Blindfolds on innocent eyes. A ghost-born lament  where the lifeless (ohhhhh ohhh!) [Chorus: Melodic, lead guitar chases vocals In the shadow of a blackened sun, Mortis leads us on, *To seek out Avernis* (ohh ohh) In the shadow. of a blackened sun (In the shadow. of a blackened sun) (ohh woah ohh ohh) In the shadow.  of a blackened sun. (a blackened sun) (sun, sun, sun, sun) [Outro] [Instrumental: melodic lead guitar solo chases vocals] We sail, forsaken, In the shadow. of a  blackened sun. (We sail, forsaken, In the shadow. of a  blackened sun.) [Instrumental Outro: 8 bars, acoustic solo] We sail, forsaken, In the shadow. of a  blackened sun. (sun, sun, sun, sun) (We sail, forsaken, In the shadow. of a  blackened sun.) [end]
