The Puppetry of Ages

 Join the perpetual sleepers 
 Dream of everlasting crave 
 Descend the abyss 
 Unending
 
 Burn with me 
 Let your final thought 
 Become the light for
 Others!
 
 Scan the encompassing heavens 
 Howl at Mother Moon 
 Descend the abyss
 Pursuing
 
 Burn with me 
 Let your final thought 
 Become the light for
 Others!
 
 Mind the gap 
 Purge the white line 
 Descend the abyss 
 Beloved
 
 Burn with me 
 Let your final thought 
 Become the light for
 Others!
  
 Leave your mark
 Write your legacy
 Descend the abyss
 Bequeathing
 
 Burn with me 
 Let your final thought 
 Become the light for
 Others!
  
 Light the flamethrower 
 Torch our final bridge 
 Descend the abyss 
 Dreaming
 
 Burn with me 
 Let your final thought 
 Become the light for
 Others
