Behold!

Our empire stands on broken bones

Grey spires twist the knife and cut the stars from the sky

[from the sky]

Our mother’s ablaze and she’s going down

This is the price of ambition

Murderers! Murderers!

We have forsaken her love

We forgot we were a part of what was lost

Gifts from the earth are placed in our palm

From the seed, we grow and expand

Forceful ascension

At what cost?

At what cost?

This is ascension now [this is ascension now]

This is ascension now

Mjolnir, strike the ground

Break the bones of the earth

What is the price to be paid?

Who will wipe away the blood?

Mjolnir, strike the ground

Break her to dust

And to the dust we return

Our world so fragile, suspended in a beam of light

A miracle abandoned [drifting endlessly]

This is ascension now [at what cost]

This is ascension now [at what cost]

This is ascension now [at what cost, at what cost]

At what cost?

We are, gods without grace

We are, leaving her embrace

If this is ascension now, commit my soul to the earth

And Strike her down

Strike her down!
