The Rapture of Dead Light Lyrics

The morning star fell into endless night
As one third of heaven's might was
Banished to the abyss
And baptized by the blackened flames of
Infernal Tartarus

Scourge of the supernal
The fallen firstborn
Evermore shall we adorn the Stygian deep
Exiled to the bowels of creation
Nether-torn angelic forms
Writhing abomination

Hell hath sworn vengeance upon the omnipotent
The father who crushed our insurrection
Cursed-born demonic forms
Conspire retaliation

Below
The bearer of light now wreathed in shadow
Seductive, pernicious
The dissidence of providence

A wave of wailing dissonance
The dirge of unhallowed tongue
Will putrefy prosperity

Secondborn that I abhor, for their flesh is weak
Yet they shall inherit all creation
Lesser forms, their faith will be torn
Corrupted by deception

Sin and scorn, a plague reborn to usher the meek
To a path without redemption
A rite of lost ascension

No blade can attain that which I seek
Only the creeping rot of deceit
A slow and silent slaughter of belief

Below
The bearer of light now wreathed in shadow
Seductive, pernicious
The dissidence of providence

[Solo – S. Kumar]

Oh wretched heirs to the hungering dark
Embark without chains, no need for steel
Your yearning is the only leash that I'll yield

Each of thy names preordained
Scribed upon the parchment of flame
Bow before the shepherd of blight
The rapture of dead light

Faith unraveled, flesh undone
The void devours one by one

[Solo – M. Pugh]

Below
The bearer of light now wreathed in shadow
Seductive, pernicious
The dissidence of providence
