Benediction Eternal Eclipse lyrics

Another sunrise swathes the earth in light
The sun, a symbol of innocence, inverse of the night
Yet with all this energy comes a certain weakness
'O hear it's silent cries as the blackness envelops

Amass, congregate, form an ashen shroud, asphyxiate
Secure restraint reigns, mummify the sun
Drag it down to earth with it's age old flame extinguished

The event of it's demise, an invitation to it's rival
Lord of insanity, replacing joy with madness

Now all life on earth, turns it's head towards it's master
Rationality, replaced with numbed mesmerization

Through centuries of blackness, ten thousand claustrophobic years
Eyes seeing no light, succumb to blindness
And cry longing tears, land that once thrived
Reduced to gray desert, smothered by eternal eclipse
An eternity of non-existence
