Lyrics The Eruption - Emperor
And
after
years
in
dark
tunnels
He
came
to
silence
There
was
nothing
He
realized
that
the
cheering
cries
of
worship
Were
but
echoes
of
his
harsh
outspoken
word
Reflecting
back
at
him
from
cold
and
naked
walls
In
hollow
circles
fled
illusions
of
wisdom
he
had
heard
From
nothing
came
all
I
ever
knew
And
he
beheld
the
ruins
Of
an
empire
torn
apart
Yet,
no
grief
nor
rage
did
bind
him
Just
silent
and
bewildered
By
the
emptiness
He
stumbled
off
his
throne
Suddenly,
the
walls
around
him
cracked
wide
open
And
an
endless
void
appeared
in
flickering,
grey
light
What
force,
but
silence,
has
deprived
me
of
my
coil?
No
trail
to
guide
me,
no
point
of
reference
in
sight
By
nothing,
resurrection
will
be
pure
And
he
beheld
the
ruins
Of
an
empire
torn
apart
Wiping
dust
off
his
shoulders
Just
silent
now
In
this
emptiness
Leaving
all
behind
Step
by
step
Past
all
past
Slowly
he
approached
the
surface
Nothing
left
To
sacrifice
The
mirrors
mocked
him
on
the
way
