- - - HEIR OF THE ARDENT FIRE - - -



Cruel are the winds of the northern frost
Bitter as the bite of Stygian steel
Beating at the iron of The Reaper's door
Our hour of reckoning draws near

My crimes I've laid at my beloved's feet
Lo, tales of woe from a pitiless time
Seeking redemption from one such as me
Steeped in her damnation and bitter wine

She casts another stone
Across my tomb, alone
And left a wilted rose
In dreams that her tears wove

The rain lashes against her face
Smoldering upon vetted tears

She is the heir of the ardent fire
Brazen enough to melt my heart of steel
Pushing away the ghosts of the northern frost
Our hour of reckoning draws near

A precipice stretches betwixt our hearts
The black abyss studded with ancient graves
No sovereignty for long dead gods
Once more to the fray, I will find my way

She looks into the globe
Spinning with powder snow
A scene of winter bliss
And burns it with a kiss

The snow lashes against her face
Smoldering upon vetted tears

She is the heir of the ardent fire
Brazen enough to melt my heart of steel
Pushing away the ghosts of the northern frost
Our hour of reckoning draws near

No gods or demons hold fear over me
For my Hell is real without her embrace
She possesses the beating heart I need
Without it I might as well be erased

Cruel are the winds of the northern frost
Bitter as the bite of Stygian steel
Beating at the iron of The Reaper's door
Our hour of reckoning draws near

The rain lashes against her face
Smoldering upon vetted tears

She is the heir of the ardent fire
Brazen enough to melt my heart of steel
Pushing away the ghosts of the northern frost
Our hour of reckoning draws near
