What Will Be Has Been Lyrics

What Will Be Has Been lyrics

[Lyrics: LoSicco '98]



Caught within the scenes of time the warrior wakes again to find

A prologue set by twilight rays through the breaking dawn

A dawn unlike no other dawn as backdrop to proscenium

The cursed cycle starts anew Himself "cast" down as lead

On his feet a legend and on his throne a lord

Bathed in crimson glory so the centuries have foretold

The advent of the day when pale untruths shall be no more

Usurping the hands of Fate

Now to leave the dismal place and setting eastward the course he takes

Skirts alongside the stagnant pond whose waters swirl with taint

[For]</i> Within the fetid mists and foul decay which on the natatorium
lay

The source of evils yet to be lie in wait

Further east and all the while

His grand design is planned

Obscuration of the light <i>[when]</i> the balance is destroyed

Ushering the epoch of the splendorous Unlight

":And so I set forth my mind resolute and might 

unchecked to rend my will upon the world.  

With centuries to prepare for the final battle 

and the glory that awaits in every drop of life:"

Lust forever, lust for life,

A lust Unmatched in human kind

Fueled by such desires

As may mold flesh to my want

"Beauty as Might, and Might as Right"

So seduced the lord

From wanton whores the bloodsons came

In legion issued forth

Cursed for all eternity

As seen by another also condemned

Before the final blow is dealt

What will be has been!

:Too late the error revealed. The unparalleled pride of the ancient one 

now splintered through all the ages. With glory for one the ideal is lost, 

as is the war:

Gone is the path to victory besmeared by consanguine wars

Arrogance in the sons that I was fated to ignore

For a greater lust that by design will never sate

An all-consuming hunger unified by blackened hate

A pause to look upon the world before I am reborn

:A brilliant flash of light and the One Great Truth revealed

The pain of clarity just seconds before oblivion and the slate 

is again wiped clean

Where one time ends, another begins

Caught within the scenes of Time:
