Archonfall - The Blind Creator (Power Metal)

Archonfall - The Blind Creator From the album The Prison of Heaven Lyrics: Before the stars had learned their names Before the heavens wore their flames A voice arose from formless night And crowned itself the source of light From shattered wisdom, born alone He built the heavens for his throne He carved the mountains, chained the sea And named his prison destiny Upon the void he raised his hand And breathed his law across the land “No power lives beyond my sight No throne exists above my light” But far beyond his gilded sky Where neither death nor shadow lie A silence older than the sun Remembered what he had not done He forged the lock He forged the key Yet never knew What waits beyond eternity Blind creator, lord of clay You built the night and called it day Crown of ashes, throne of stone You rule a world that is not your own Blind creator, hear us rise There is a fire beyond your skies You made the chains, you shaped the dust But something in us is not yours to touch He set the Archons at the gates To bind the soul to fear and fate They taught the living how to kneel To trust the seen, deny the real They gave us hunger, gave us names Drew sacred borders around our chains And every altar, every crown Was built to keep our vision down Yet buried deep beneath the skin A spark remembers where it’s been No law can silence what we know No cage can hold the light below We heard the word Behind the word A truth no ruler Ever wanted heard Blind creator, lord of clay You built the night and called it day Crown of ashes, throne of stone You rule a world that is not your own Blind creator, hear us rise There is a fire beyond your skies You made the chains, you shaped the dust But something in us is not yours to touch You said: “I am the first.” But you were born. You said: “There is none above me.” Because you could not see. And what the blind cannot behold They often name impossible. Who placed the hunger in the mind? Who left the memory behind? Who taught the prisoner to dream Of worlds beyond the walls he’d seen? If this is all that can exist Then why do we remember this? A place without a throne or grave Where no god rules And no soul is a slave Who made the spark? Who shaped the flame? Who wrote the truth Behind the name? Break every chain Tear through the veil The throne can crack The prison can fail Sophia... Can you hear us? Sophia... We remember. Sophia... Can you hear us? We remember who we are. BLIND CREATOR, LORD OF CLAY YOUR FALSE ETERNAL FADES AWAY CROWN OF ASHES, THRONE UNDONE WE HAVE SEEN BEYOND YOUR SUN BLIND CREATOR, WATCH US RISE LIKE LIVING FIRE THROUGH BROKEN SKIES YOU MADE THE CHAINS, YOU SHAPED THE DUST BUT THE LIGHT WITHIN WAS NEVER YOURS Never yours... Never yours... The light within was never yours... Beyond the throne, beyond the stars Beyond the walls of what we are The silence calls from realms unknown While the blind king sits alone WE REMEMBER WHO WE ARE! #powermetal #metal #archonfall
