Omen of Embers

Our kingdom bowed in agony,
Throne lost to vilest perfidy;
Am I the only one to see the storm to come?
The tyrant builds his towers high,
But sees them crumble every night
Something resists him from inside Cymru’s earth
The very soil cries out to be free
From the depths I hear the serpents waking…
Dragons in my dreams,
Their blazing screams
Stir something deep within me now
I dream a king will soon arise
Before these tired eyes,
And on that day the red dragon will fly!
His wise men say to take my blood,
That I brought his towers down to mud,
But I have seen what stirs below the crumbling walls
I tell them of a pit below
Where dwell the secrets to their woe,
One look and then they’ll know just why their towers fall
They crack the ground, and smoke starts to rise,
And from the depths I see the serpents rising!
Dragons in my dreams,
Their blazing screams
Stir something deep within me now
I know a king will soon arise
Before these tired eyes,
And on that day the red dragon will fly!
The beasts emerge from the ground
Wreathed in flame,
A blur of tooth and wing and claw
Rising high above us all,
With no sign of who will fall
Until the crimson drake brings forth
His alabaster foe’s blood
And so the white dragon falls,
A clarion call
To rise beneath Pendragon’s banner
Dragons in my dreams,
Their blazing screams
Stir something deep within this land
Pendragon’s reign will soon arise
And light these tired eyes
And on that day the red dragon will fly!

The Fall

How like the rising sun was I before
I first cast off Thy endless love forevermore?
My glory brought me naught but greater falls
and cost me You, my Lord, and Paradise’s halls
My cursed ambition like a fire
consumed what good You placed in me
To serve You more I could not bear,
so I became Your enemy
All hope of recompense flies from my grasp,
for even if I turn from this infernal path
A ruler’s pride still burns within my veins;
submission more, I could not bear, in praising You or iron chains!
My cursed ambition like a fire
still burns what good You placed in me
To serve You more I cannot bear,
So I remain Your enemy
I cannot change, nor forfeit Hell
for all of Heaven’s ecstasies
And pride and power as vast as mine
cannot submit to slavery
So farewell hope, and farewell fear,
destroy now what my Lord holds dear
Evil come, consume me now;
The Adversary I will be!
My cursed ambition like a fire
consumed what good You placed in me
To serve You more I cannot bear,
So I remain Your enemy
