"The Throne Of Tragedy" lyrics

Hear!
From this day forth
Are the heights of Horeb broken
And the sea of sulphur
Ice

And blasphemy!
In heaven's chambers:
Souls had fled their halls
And closed was the book of life
And behold!
The great, white throne:
Black
With sacred blood

Our father
Dead by his own hands:
An epitaph
Worthy no king

And so is everything
A nameless lie
Who, my god
Am I?

Man knows me
As Lucifer, the serpent of old
The wretched hold my banner high
Your gift
All life!
I grant the grave
Yet I am not your death

Come carry forth the crown
To your once held throne
Here is where my suffering should cease
But alas: I am crowned
In grief unheard of!

In this lone monarchy
Without friend or foe
I greet the morning sun
With strife and a song:
Please speak my name!
And leave me not
In the dust of death

I am weighed down
Beneath the tragedy crown
Nameless
And alone
A fatherless son
