Lanterns of the Storm

trial by night

the blinded birds of light

the pride of youth

deceived by men of dust

and if to death reborn

where the holy veil is torn

to brightness in a tainted day of fire

and as the black hand signs the end of days

and the hammer strikes the bells of grace

Hosanna for the earth calls to the sky

like lanterns of the storm of ages

spinning on the wheels of time

destiny has called you to its side

like lanterns of the storm of ages

spinning on the wheels of time

victory of life against the lie?

and in this last dark rite

in the church of broken ice

where the child of dreams

awakens to the sun

you will walk with me

to the light beyond the sea

a wreath of stars for a crown of mortal blood

and as the black hand signs the end of days

and the hammer strikes the bells of grace

Hossana for the earth calls to the sky

like lanterns of the storm of ages

spinning on the wheels of time

destiny has called you to its side

like lanterns of the storm of ages

spinning on the wheels of time

victory of life against the lie?
