"Mirrors Of A Thousand Lakes" lyrics

The ruins you stand upon
Used to be my realm
The ashes in the air
Once brethren at helm
The great and the proud
The strong and the loud
Now silenced, dead and still

Desolate plains
Wasteland vast
Now dark
Now cold
Dominion
Oblivion
Old

The dust you wash away
A castle made to sand
A sanctum now betrayed
As winter is at hand
Although I can't hear your voice
A hymn I can recall
That was sung in another time
Long before the fall

Desolate plains
Wasteland vast
Now dark
Now cold
Dominion
Oblivion
Old

I can see the devil
I can see the beast
His breath, his wrath
And scornful fiery eyes
I can see the devil
I can see the beast
If I look into the mirrors of a thousand lakes
All I will see is that the devil is me

Hate, hate
Feed the burning hatred
Hate, hate
As wildfire I will reign
Burn, burn
As long as there is hatred
Burn, burn
Let the fire rain

Of vanity turned to stone
A statue by the shore
But self-hate keeps my heart
Pounding in this war
Anguish eats my soul
As volatile faith has flown
Now wouldn't it be better
To watch the sea as stone

Desolate plains
Wasteland vast
Now dark
Now cold
Dominion
Oblivion
Old

I can see the devil
I can see the beast
His breath, his wrath
And scornful fiery eyes
I can see the devil
I can see the beast
If I look into the mirrors of a thousand lakes
All I will see is that the devil is me
