Nero Order - Leveling Lyrics
Looking back with sight beyond time* An aeon changes at the rest of the celestial I Destroyer lifts a heavy lid It’s sure felt like a while A great exhalation and a parting smile Where all paths converge and fade to an aether of blood Procession unto the final stage Gaze at the face of all we’ve loved The tower’s coming down… We come in reveling Great day of leveling Our symptoms are all the same These Cities of the Plain Now walk against the ash of all we’ve sown With embers of the old, the new way shone Within the burning hall of shattered thrones The fallen shall not rise Still something builds a home So marks an end to all that we have known The dead past quickly fades The gates crash closed And the walls crumble as we greet our foes The jaws open; flames enclose our world No words spoken Figures broken Pouring from the opened skies Surmise reason “Because†stops breathing Witness at the melting of our lives Lay waste! Receive: God Mind False belief falls away Open: Great Eye Lightning enlighten the soul And so unfolds The augurs’ prognostication… Now great birds paint our horizon black and red And in a swoop devour nations While on the microcosmic plane So too do old structures fall Ride forth on splintering wheels How our world reels as its engine stops Our answers came for us today They’re all we dreamed Though not as we hoped And so it goes sometimes And so it goes away Babylon, Babylon Upon the Beast she rides It is one, as we fall down The future is bright! All fall down like children, tumble like statues, fall like great Rome Rise, rise, rise like monuments, like crucifixions, like ascending Gods Torrent crash forward, clearing the way, breaking old forms Current rush onward, love under will igniting our blood The drawing storm clouds look like war The struggle’s over There’s nothing left worth fighting for And likely, there never was Now in unity: Cessation Here as flames rise and owls descend Songs all once sang no one sings again But laid in the tarot and cast in the runes For a new aeon there comes a new tune The stars are revealed and fall from the sky The pyre we’ve lit devours the night The decree is given, great Order arise In glory crowned we meet our demise Walls to the heavens we built with our hands Rendered to the void, they forever stand Striking the shell, that vast enemy In ruins of self, at last we are free! And now the rites of old are black End of a universe; last vision – look back To an evaporating road of marrowless bones As one eye opened the other closed
