 Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer

I have seen and am now blinded
By thunderous blood red sky
Our path before us thawing
Mother, soon to ossify
No hand to guide us forward
For it has long been scorned
Earth-grave, salted, barren
Tomb world as forewarned

Dawn of ash descend
New day's sky condemned

I am become death

Held in brilliant thrall
Head stone burner's call

Guarded close by night eternal
Sheltered under strangled sky
Held close by clouds infernal
Cloaked in cinders, flames to deify
The horizon vivisected
By force of will be done
The sins of all forgiven
In the light of our newborn son

Dawn of ash descend
New day's sky condemned

I am become death

Dawn of ash descend
New day's sky condemned
Dawn of ash descend
Mother's embrace ends

Scars of those left unburdened
Leave shadows burned in time
None to hear the silence
The emptiness sublime
With arms outstretched, open
We welcome burning dawn
With dust between lips and fingers
The setting sun forgone
