Did I fall asleep?
Am I dreaming now?
There’s a crystal ship
Sailing through the clouds
Calling out my name
From the morning sun
Gently beckons me
Towards the light, I run
I can never know
What awaits inside
Visions put to siege
Temples of the mind
Now I stand on board
As I’m staring down
I can see the World
And who wears its crown
For all things, there must come a time
Our time has come
Seven seals for seven scrolls
Seven signs for all men to behold
You will know that the of an age has come
Wake me from my rest
Take back what I’ve seen
I need shelter from
This unending dream
Water from the Earth
Covers all it floods
Debts of all mankind
To be paid in blood
When these days have passed
Once these tears are cried
All will be reborn
Once this world has died
For all things, there must come a time
Our time has come
Seven crowns for seven kings
Seven horns will sound the curse they bring
Now, behold, for a new dawn has begun
For all things, there must come a time
Our time has come
Seven dreams of what’s to pass
Seven nations lead their angered mass
Now we wait, for our fates shall all turn into one

I was shown four horses from afar
Each one rides as each seal breaks ajar
What they bring, they’re bringing for us all
Whispers of an empire set to fall
The White Horse comes to conquer foes of man
The Red Horse rides for bloodshed, sword in hand
The Black Horse carries scales to weigh your gold
The Pale Horse brings an end to tales of old
Now they ride, every stride comes faster
All will know, there’s no mortal master
Force unseen slowly brings us nearer
Near the end, fate becomes much clearer
When we reigned, we built our castle walls
Holding in our power over all
Time came through and etched away the stone
Strength has faded, now our fortress falls
Every kingdom, each before the last
Felt the horsemen’s fury as they passed
Underneath their hooves, the Earth will bend
Their ride is the beginning to our end
Days of strife have come, and they have gone
In us is the will to carry on
Darkness will envelop all it holds
Hope will hold us through, but for how long?

As I am cast down from above
I’ll bring my star down from the sky
Your power here will be no more
Over your kingdom, I preside
I’ll bring my beast out from the sea
He is the one that you shall praise
In his unholy name, you’ll sing
Until I bring the end of days
My wings are spread above the Sun
This light cannot show you the way
The place you used to call your home
Will now become my own domain
In days before the sun, they placed me down below
Now is my time to walk the Earth, so that they’ll know
All of the power in this place, I truly hold
It won’t be long until you’re bowing at the feet beneath your Lord

Chapter Four

We were born when these fields were green
Days of old turned to fleeting dreams
Seasons pass, now the East wind blows
Breath of life, buried in the snow
These days will not pass as soon as you think
Bitter and dry is the wine we must drink
Find those you love, hold them all near
Never again will we have back those years
We will mourn those we have not found
Take the dead, put them in the ground
If I pass, bury me the same
When I’m gone, none will know my name
Hopeless days, yet the world still turns
Love is gone, yet its fire still burns
We must wait ‘till the battle is won
We’ll be free when the circle is drawn

There’s cracks in the sky where the light still shows
Just for a little while, those who see will know
Reach for the other side with an open hand
All those who sit and wait cannot understand
Understand
Understand this world
We’ve waited, hid away, for our time to come
Rememb’ring better days with the tune we strum
We watched as those we love were all led astray
Those who still wander on need to find a way
Find a way
Find a way back home
The day is coming soon when it all falls through
Then is the time to make this world anew
For now, we lie in wait ‘till the clouds come down
Our chains are breaking free with a thund’rous sound

Look to the hills, as the light shines through the trees
Visions fulfilled of the world that is to be
It had happened here ages ago, and now it again comes to pass
Hear the horns sound on a field of war and flame
This is the ground where the noble will lay claim
It had happened here ages ago, and now it again comes to pass
And, so, as the world rolls on its hinge, will the hours continue to turn
If these times are, by fate, to come back, then this is the lesson we learn
The tides always sink and then swell, for the sea will not heed our command
Those of you with the will to continue will be the same ones who withstand
We will ascend with the gnashing of our blades
This is the end, now the evil here will fade
