[Verse 1]

Life's breath in the candlelight

Lost hearts in the dead of night

It's a long way down to the place they found

Dark sun, hollowed by the fate

Our debt they left to be paid

Seen the blackness stare

Promising to spare the chosen

[Chorus]

Born of graves and left below

Painted ashes, painted snow

When the dark awakens

Fires of our last hope are getting low

Souls of gods and souls of men

Meet in cinders to ascend

Fate has chosen, and our fading light is at its end

[Verse 2]

I've a tale that time has lost

Sins of judgement, born in frost

Then he took a name for the one profaned

Know the dark but let it rest

Left to lurkers in their quest

Let the watchers fight, and the blood ignite

The chosen

[Chorus]

Born of graves and left below

Painted ashes, painted snow

When the dark awakens

Fires of our last hope are getting low

Souls of gods and souls of men

Meet in cinders to ascend

Fate has chosen, and our fading light is at its end

[Bridge]

Souls to revive us, or rot us away

Want for the weary, and death for the sane

Cursed, yet we listen for bells left to toll

To fight back the depths of humanity's soul

For the unkindled, we look to the sun

Cities in gold, all the victories won

Fear not the dark, or the monsters, my friend

And brace for the feast of humanity's end

[Chorus]

Born of graves and left below

Painted ashes, painted snow

When the dark awakens

Fires of our last hope are getting low

Souls of gods and souls of men

Meet in cinders to ascend

Fate has chosen, and our fading light is at its end

Born of graves and left below

Painted ashes, painted snow

When the dark awakens

Fires of our last hope are getting low

Souls of gods and souls of men

Meet in cinders to ascend

Fate has chosen, and our fading light is at its end

[Post-Chorus]

Fading light
