"A Greatness Undone" lyrics

"A Greatness Undone"

How mighty those rays
That pierce the dew-speckled earth
Placing within it a seed
And for warmth, a fire-lit hearth

Bountiful mother
Raising a king to the throne
For among all of her brood
He shineth there brightly alone

How joyous the hunter
Who kept for himself every chase
Smiting the hand of each thane
Loosing wolves by his fading grace

Blessed orator
Bellowing loudly, the law
Beaten by wind and by virtue
As wolven ears fiercely ignore

How rotten and wretched
A hunter condemned to his prey...

How rotten and wretched
A hunter condemned to his prey
Frothing to gain upon riches
Tragedy's endless foray

Treacherous idol
Bound to a greatness undone
Damning a mother to darkness
By recklessly selling the sun

Damning a mother to darkness
Recklessly selling the sun
