lyrics

The Ascendant: Forsaken

Below the shroud, eternity

A vibrant vessel lay bequeathed

The harbors of her majesty

The hospice of our human liege

In all our dreams we seek to leave this land

The ascendant; man

Kingdoms will rise

Our machinery, discovery

The sun will shine

On all our tragedy, humanity the wise

A beauty far more permanent

Than any one or more could bear

The seas and sky cry out, “embrace this land”

The descendant

Kingdoms will rise

Our machinery, discovery

The sun will shine

On all our tragedy, humanity the wise

Favor us in unity, deliver us

Let’s embrace our destiny

And face the brightest days

Love is the meaning

In this world without consequence

You will be here for us

Life's adventure’s begun

There is no meaning

To the wars we wage, songs we sing

Happily ever afters

If all we know is gone

(All that we’ve become)

Life is the meaning

Of our presence here, to speak with fear

Of those who speak in gospels

And each new day we run

(Into the sun we run)

Transcending darkness

Embrace eternity

The very nature of humankind

Discover cosmos; envision night

Oh, mother planet, behold your child

Embrace your destiny

Your silent seas we cry

Kingdoms will rise

(In this age of man)

Our machinery, discovery

The sun will shine

(And this, too, shall pass)

On all our tragedy, humanity

Vespertine divine
