"From Afar" lyrics

"From Afar"

A raven came to me, spoke to me in my dream
A long lost prophecy, a forgotten legacy
Echoes of yesterday won't let these dreams fade away
All the beauty I adored at the edge of the world

Across the universe, time is to be reversed
No shelter can be found; to this fate, we are bound
Behold the final hour, the last times will be dour
All life falls into gorge of the end of the world

Burning skies on the vengeance's night
Devastating scythe of the ancient light

I saw the might of the ancient light
And the beauty of the perishing world
There's no tomorrow, we have been warned

Across the universe, time is to be reversed
No shelter can be found; to this fate, we are bound
Behold the final hour, the last times will be dour
All life falls into gorge of the end of the world

The sky's bird struck fire, made a flame flare up
The north wind burnt the clearing
The northeast quite consumed it
It burnt all the trees to ash and reduced them to dust

Burning skies on the vengeance's night
Devastating scythe of the ancient light

I saw the might of the ancient light
And the beauty of the perishing world
There's no tomorrow, we have been warned
