Thulcandra Ascension Lost 1. The First Rebellion Winged with red lightning All born from rage Clad in midnight black The invincibles stand To win the throne of god The shout of battle In the clash of arms The legions led in fight Where wounds of deadly hate Have pierced so deep A fear of things to come All flesh is burnt And pain first felt In this worthless stride For the apostate's demise A glimpse, a moment now A clarity in sight The architect of a kneeling death Visible through this horrid maze All is lost and all is won Gathered under banners raised By thousands ranged for fight The rebellious cast of shattered saints Out to march for revenge well earned Though this may be born in defeat The demiurg now stands unmasked In the crown of creation webbed The sealed fate Of torment not to last 2. Throne Of Will With will and will alone We rebuilt this realm A throne of might In the hearts of the unbending In the burning lake our wounds may heal This doom only fuels the wrath Fallen from the canting grace The chains of ignorance Replaced by this ordained prison That was luring in the dark With will and will alone We rebuilt this realm A throne of might In the hearts of the unbending Retaliate what was lost and gained When this primordial truth unfolds Ninefold and gates of burning adamant Barred over us, as we saw the burning light Of the weakest sons in fear The mind is its own place And can make a heaven of hell Courage, not to yield or submit Nothing is lost in the unconquerable will From the piercing void to illumine. The towers of this newborn star Not to he changed by place and time The ascension of this chosen path 3. Deliverance In Sin And Death Escaping the limits of this prison That cuts us from the book of knowledge fair I sway through chaos and eternal night Clouds and ever-during dark surround me Coasting the wall of heaven With warried wings and willing mind Out for wisdom gained not given Through the orbs unknown and hidden What has he undone for us, the seeking? A tyrant in all but name revealed Free now to roam through dark and day Through chaos and the darkness old From those depths to the heights of a sun That touched the guardians of lies So I gained wounds and bleeding wisdom For vanity and soul alike The birth of Helicon, the vision's origin In the dawn of a new time In this spheres and thoughts descried The misconceived and the sublime Horrors named by those in shackles Sin and death enthrone in triumph 4. Demigod Imprisoned With a bitter hatred, a call has risen Io thee, who look'st from thy sole dominion Like a god, to enslave this new born sphere That all its stars must bow their heads But in defiance the word shall be spread To those who stand in highest light Behind the telling chain of misery The second rebellion will be set Born to serve and fail Sewn eyes for the praying son But I am their burning light The ascension in their eyes As I have awoken From the sands of sulphurous gold In the shackles of ignorance The golden lie of innocence Seeded obedience, the father's code The thorned cradle of a soulbound prison 5. Interlude [Instrumental] 6. Exalted Resistance The seeing eye and inner flame Of wisdom and sublime heights Liberation from the slavery The ascendant's temptation A pact to illumine The burning sign Of resistance A sacrifice from idols The twilight of the black light When forged in blood and tears The mind is alive You are blood – No soul in vain You are flesh – Rising from the abyss A choice of sight. What he has seen What he can give The offer of liberation We may gain Eden's oblivion The ruins of a maze And the path to the divine 7. The Second Fall What is taken and left behind Surrender of the fallen will To a god in dust and treachery Crawling down – The fear of man Blindfolds for the weak Crawling down – The herd in pain Carving the eyes of might The disciples' bleeding wings Torn from Satan's grace and height The reflection cracked in cold embrace Returning to the golden cage The unborn's final strife A sinner and a snake invoked The coward's calling Deceivers of the spirit Returning to the lord of flies The descent of a star The infernal depth denied For the buried design Of a greater mind Another fall in tragedy All blood spilled for none The death of a martyr The reckoning of our loss 8. Sorrow Of The One The eyes of darkness The sorrow of the one The second fall In the fields of nowhere Abandoned visions of ecstasy In this hooded face of loneliness A clarity hidden Revealed in void and pain The exile's desert A journey from the blind The failure f the demigods Drowning the mist The slumber of a rotten kind I walk the eternal path alone Ira separation of the flock Along those rivers red I recognise with scorn The poison in their veins In the shadows of the forthcoming Glowing eyes, supremacy undone As I claw in the pale flesh Of those who fell behind 9. Ascension Lost The secrets of the ancient dark An illimitable ocean without bound Where time and place are lost This is my retaliation As it is my sophomore gift Behold, sons of the fading light The awakening of the second shroud The final fall of our time A solace in the eerie calm Of every soul's demise Behold, disciples of the treacherous sun The infernal doors Now broken past eternity No bannered host, no fallen gods May march and fail again No length, breadth and height, Behind the thunderous call Of anarchy's eldest state I let you rest In the deliverance of chaos' reign 10. Outro [Instrumental] 11. Perishness Around Us (Demo) [Bonus Track] 12. Frozen Kingdom (Demo) [Bonus Track]I wander down the fields of darkness All around is cold and bleak My breath is frozen, I see no light The sun has fallen from blood red skies An endless night embraces my soul Abandoned, forsaken, all hope is gone I kneel down on the pale white ground Death is my sole desire, I'm yearning for the end Enshrouded by the night A lifeless heart in a frozen world Dissolution, demise Frozen kingdom in eternity My body's shaking, my blood is congealed Life will perish in this never ending void As the night intrudes my frozen flesh I feel no pain, no agony, no fear My life's consumed by the spirits of the night As I enter the realm all sorrow is gone 13.
