lyrics

The first fire on the water, set by the moon
Silver flames on the ripples dancing to jump the shoreline
Bear witness to the beginning of our doom
They will jump the shoreline with the will to consume

Tremble like the reflection of the moon on the rippling waters of time
Tremble like the reflection of the moon on the rippling waters in darkness
Tremble

The first fire on the water, set by the moon
Silver flames growing upward and outward into the night
I can stand on the shore, content, indifferent
I will be everything when the flames consume

Tremble like the reflection of the moon on the rippling waters of time
Tremble like the reflection of the moon on the rippling waters in darkness
Tremble

The world will be carried away in distress
Rushing along with a violent rush of death
On the flooded river of suffering

Which the foam of disease oversprays
Which has old age as its' purge
Which enlightens the darkest of days
With one last cathartic surge

The world will be carried away in distress
Rushing along with a violent rush of death
On the flooded river of suffering

Which the foam of disease oversprays
Which has old age as its' purge
Which enlightens the darkest of days
With one last cathartic surge

The last fire on the water, set by the moon
The last fire on the water, set by the moon
The last fire on the water, set by the moon
The last fire on the water, set by the moon
I will be everything when the flames consume

A thick blanket of noise that washes over you. The vocal is unrelenting, fierce and driven by pure hate. A soundtrack that feeds on evil and haunts your dreams Navs
