Aureum Lux - Svartidauði

What comes after the ordeal?

An expiration sweeter than death

The pain of division is as nothing

And the joy of dissolution all

Any empire created is ultimately an empire lost

As death is the crown of all

Everything passes

The end of the illusion

Where the wheels stop spinning

Where the rivers run backwards

Into the golden light

There is a veil that is black

The veil of the pain and the sorrow and the death

Tear down this lying spectre of the centuries

Hear me!

People of sighing

The sorrows of pain and regret

Are left for the dead and the dying
