lyrics

[Intro]
This stolen century, this boundless flight
A feigned creation under false moonlight

[Verse 1]
Flooding my mind, the voices call upon me to invoke
Ancient flames, a sacred violence shrouding me in smoke
Illusions fade, the natural order bending out of phase
Vie for power, fuel the fire that the sword conveys

[Chorus]
Drawn out through the threads of space and time
Hold your breath until the pain subsides
Stone cold from the fear of what we'll lose
But blazing forth with such electric hues
When the hunger comes in full pursuit
Steal the light before the night consumes
These years were a fraction of the time
The void had clouded me and fed me its innocent lies

[Verse 2]
Relics of old are lost to time and not meant to be found
Family and fortune ripped apart and buried underground
Distortions manifest and hours freeze within the rifts
Story and song reveal a penchant for the days we missed

[Pre-Chorus]
I never thought I'd bear
The weight of all the world
Breathing up the air
Of a town where hope's deferred
I'm useless on my own
The stakes are just too high
Together we atone, not just comply
Our hands are tied

[Chorus]
Drawn out through the threads of space and time
Hold your breath until the pain subsides
Stone cold from the fear of what we'll lose
But blazing forth with such electric hues
When the hunger comes in full pursuit
Steal the light before the night consumes
These years were a fraction of the time
The void had clouded me and fed me its innocent lies

[Bridge]
This stolen century, this boundless flight
A feigned creation under false moonlight
The end is near and I can hear the cries
Of desperate people under darkened skies
The mountains crumble and the earth gives way
A cosmic entity will soon invade
The worlds we travel are condemned to die
But with compassion we can set them right

[Chorus]
Drawn out through the threads of space and time
Hold your breath until the pain subsides
Stone cold from the fear of what we'll lose
But blazing forth with such electric hues
When the hunger comes in full pursuit
Steal the light before the night consumes
These years were a fraction of the time
The void had clouded me and fed me its innocent lies
