Blazing to their pikes   Turning to dust   Gusting with the wind   They (still) dream of an older delusion      Reigning, raining   Dampening the empire   Their excursion burns with the ashes      Calm lakes mirrored   Glistening everywhere   They rove through the waters and fires      Silent seas paused   Enlightening low light   Their visions for imperishability      The weakened flesh   Expecting downfall   Their ashes spread through lightless, starless skies      The Eminence   Not expecting wind   They (now) think of a newer illusion      [Chorus:]   PRAISE - The ancient times   AS EARTH - Equates their end   COMMAND - The ancient times   LIKE TARA - Shall never pretend   DIES - Irae, dies illa   QUIDQUID - Latet adparebit   NIL - Inultum remanebit   DEPOSE - Towards ancient times      [Repeat Chorus]      [Repeat All Verses In Reversed Order Excluding The First & Last]
