[5:14] 


Drawn towards these lands again. 
Seeking death and sacred soil. 
I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul, 
growing stronger once I enter my empire beyond. 


Emperium! 
Behold my coming. 


The fullmoon rise above me, 
enlightening my realm in a silvery glow. 
Yet the shadows crawl beneath my storming sky, 
guarding treasures from forbidden light. 


I still remember, 
though ages ago it seems, 
the first time I entered the gates, 
the revelation of ritual death 
by which I became divine. 
Sacrifice of the life I had 
among the flesh of the light. 


And now I enter again. 
Even stronger, yet amazed by what I see. 
In ecstasy I mock the world. 


Suddenly I memorize, 
asking what I left behind. 
Nothing. 


Can I ever comprehend? 
Will my longing ever end? 
Never. 


Drawn towards these lands again. 
Seeking death and sacred soil. 
I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul 
eternally.
