Rise and Fall Songtext
von Dyscarnate

You shall conquer the heavens
You shall be borne upon the breath of dawn
I shall raise you up on eagles wings
To a groundless realm far from tyrant kings
Although followed by her electric eye
Gaze not upon the siren in the sky as you take flight to fortunes untold
For she beckons the touch possessed by no soul
You shall conquer the heavens, lest the heavens conquer you

Mere mortals whose hopes might be dashed upon a rock
Now gods whose fortunes lie in elemental stock
She licks these limbs with a blazing tongue
Reduced to dust by the unconquerable one
This falling angel imbued with wicked lust
Now screaming "sol invictus!"


As surely as the giant shall fall in the west
As certain as the father was to embark on his quest
Man shall yearn to capture what it cannot behold
The son was sure to fail as his eyes were drawn by gold

It rises with a blazing fire illuminating all
Bearing arrogantly down
Ignorant to the coming fall
Enthroned in the sky, this man is the one
He shall show the rest the true unconquerable sun

Cast down far from land
Desperate for the impossible touch
Wings waxed by his fathers hand
His greed proved to be too much

As surely as the giant shall fall in the west
As certain as the father was to embark on his quest
Man shall yearn to capture what it cannot behold
The son was sure to fail as his eyes were drawn by gold
The rise and fall of man
