Sun of the Dying
A Throne of Ashes

Tracklist

• 1. Martyrs (09:08)
   copy

  The home we built has fallen.
  Our hopes, our dreams, our deeds were all in vain.
  Every torch we lit turned into dying light.
  
  Why do we bear this burden
  if every road we walk comes to an end
  and we know there’s no way back?
  
  What’s left of us but ashes?
  What have we become?
  Just martyrs.
  
  Every vow we made,
  every promise seems so useless now.
  Every word we said…
  Futile, as cold dead suns.
  
  All the wars we battled…
  It’s just so pointless who won every fight
  if there’s nothing to fight for now.
  
  So, tell me,
  if you could come back,
  if fate gave you a new chance,
  would you do the same?
  
  Don’t tell me
  that you would go back
  to a Heaven we torn apart.)
  
  And here we are,
  all alone,
  surrounded by domes of shattered glass.
  With nothing ahead us
  and one only burden: hope
  
  Hope, set me free,
  Hope, set me free,
  Hope, set me free.
  
  What’s left of us but ashes?
  What have we become?
  Just dust, just martyrs.
• 2. Black Birds Beneath Your Sky (05:00)
   copy

  Like fragments of ice,
  like broken glass inside your throat.
  
  Like thorns in your skin.
  Such is this rage, the rope that seals our revenge.
  
  We came to burn your throne of lies to ashes.
  We are black birds beneath your sky.
  We’ll hide your sun, tyrant.
  
  The empire will fall.
  With our blood we built your towers of gold.
  
  We came to burn your throne of lies to ashes.
  We are black birds beneath your sky.
  We’ll hide your sun, tyrant.
  
  We are the ones born from the dust, the fallen.
  We are the spark, we are the flame.
  The seed of hope.
  
  And now…
  We will take it back.
  Now we’re faithless, Gods.
  
  Hunger, sweat and rust
  sharp our swords, tyrant.
• 3. With Wings Aflame (05:09)
   copy

  Who am I?
  Where’s my place?
  I forgot the face
  of my reflection.
  
  How am I?
  What’s my role?
  A stain on the floor,
  or just…
  
  Let me rise my horns
  to feel and touch the sun.
  Let the rain wash away
  the pain of my broken shell.
  
  Innocent souls
  full of goodness,
  forced to turn it
  into nothing.
  
  What is the end
  when you are a wreck?
  Holding the waves
  that you set.
  
  Whose the slave
  if your own chain
  is just held
  by your hand?
  
  Falling angels crawling on the earth.
  Who will have mercy on them?
  Broken, withered and forgotten
  in a spiral that never ends.
  
  We are raging
  lighting the flame.
  Sons of the loss.
  Unveiling the maze.
  
  Innocent souls
  full of goodness
  forced to turn it
  into nothing.
• 4. The Greatest of Winters (07:02)
   copy

  I see the lights
  blinking outside,
  there's no hope
  nowhere to go.
  
  I can not go out
  neither stay here.
  I feel life slips away
  like a warm breath.
  I'm not strong enough
  to end this bleed,
  waiting for death
  to be free.
  
  Reflecting the bright
  of a gelid night.
  Ghosts of ice
  breaking my mind.
  
  I can not go out
  neither stay here.
  I feel life slips away
  like a warm breath.
  I'm not strong enough
  to end this bleed,
  waiting for death
  to be free.
  
  I will try again,
  this time I will achieve it.
  Feeling anything as the only
  way to hold on,
  but there is just cold inside
  the dead cannot die twice.
  Another excuse, another lie
  to avoid accept you are right.
  I break what I touch and I can't fix it,
  guilty of my disgrace.
  
  I can not go out
  neither stay here.
  I feel life slips away
  like a warm breath.
  I'm not strong enough
  to end this bleed,
  waiting for death
  to be free
• 5. House of Asterion (07:22)
   copy

  Shine upon the bronze sword.
  Rise up and shine upon the white halls.
  Oh, righteous sun.
  
  My doors are open
  for those who dare to see
  these endless hallways,
  as the temples and the seas.
  
  I reign this flood of light.
  The sun was made for me.
  As God I’ll give my gift to mortals.
  
  I’ll set them free.
  Free from every burden.
  Nine souls, nine lives
  to quench my thirst.
  
  I am a king
  and my house is full of wonders.
  This is my will.
  Their clean blood will stain my walls.
  
  Nine years of silence,
  but now I hear a voice.
  Is he my savior,
  the redeemer was foretold?
  
  I bear my solitude,
  it doesn’t hurt my soul.
  Cold dust,
  reveal the shining sword.
  
  I will be free.
  Free from every burden.
  Wide open doors
  to let fate in.
  
  I am a king
  and my house is full of wonders.
  This is my will.
  Royal blood will stain my walls.
  Theseus, come.
  I wait for you to take me away,
  to help me to leave this throne.
  
  Ariadna, could you believe he did not defend himself?
  
  He was as empty as it is the house of Asterion.
• 6. Of Absence (07:43)
   copy

  The empty silence
  when staring at the static
  from my throne
  of pain and nothing.
  The sound of a heart
  that beats weaker and weaker.
  I am alone.
  
  Like a caged bird
  I left my dreams away.
  The absence of hope
  destroys it all.
  There is no shine,
  there is no love.
  Just a promise… I'll soon be gone.
  
  I feel his eyes,
  I hate their insistence.
  Words are drowned out
  increasing the distance.
  The sound of a heart
  that beats weaker and weaker.
  I’m buried alive.
  
  Like a caged bird
  I left my dreams away.
  The absence of hope
  destroys it all.
  There is no shine,
  there is no love.
  Just a promise… I'll soon be gone.
  
  One shade the more, one ray the less
  into this gentle night.
  Stay with me.
  In silence we stay, in secret you grieve
  into this gentle night.
  I´m here with you.
