To Rebel and to Fail Songtext
von Sonic Reign

The foreshadowing"

Resting in oneiric trance
Caught below the surface
The foreshadowing in the anguish visions
The repeated command
The repeated command to rise
It fills my ears it fills my mind
Rise!

"The eruption"

Wake and rise
The world unwise
Shall burn beneath your hands
Fill the oceans with fire

Take a deep short breath of life
Before you fade again in the dark water
That surrounds your deep red glowing shores

And fall for the last time
This time so loud that every ear turns deaf
By your good bye


Wake and rise above all mountains
IN a very last exertion
Let the sun itself look dark aside you
Turn to God for a second in eternity

Like a falling star bring them light
This time not enlightenment
But flames upon their skin

Teach them all the meanings of reverence
They seem to have lost
Within these years
Filled with darkness
And desertion
Inside the chest of Earth

Become a servant of anger
Let your heart pump it
All through your (dried out) veins
Let your pride get the upper hand a last time
And fucking, fucking rise

You rise and your light burns brighter
Than all the stars
The sky turns your throne
And you′re the voice that's bearing time


Just a second in forever
Your lightning can be seen
But the memento will live
Through the glowing will die
Sink and become bleak

"The bleak"

The echo fades quickly
The command does not
The powers all burned up
The veins dry again
The newborn luminary
Toeing the line of its enviers
Now sink!

Drown in the light
The light of the others
Sink in the shadows
Get lost in the grey

But the memento will remain
The memento will live
