:INTRO:
on this day,
I give you my heart, my soul, my life for you
always and forever
on this day,
I make this vow to you:
never will I stray or wander
for you are the only one for me
through the darkest trials and the highest joys
may you and I always be as one
on this day,
forever,
amen
:VERSE 1:
shrouded in grey
the stars hang wistfully high
Aten burns ever brighter
as if about to explode
blissfully, they play
as if the sky had no end
god turns his face
and the firmament begins to erode
:VERSE 2:
and the earth cries
the heavens bow
as two become one
a day foretold by wise men of old
brought about through an ignorant vow
etched upon and woven into the ages
:PRECHORUS:
*ab aeterno
*ab infinitum
*alea iacta est
:CHORUS:
free yourselves from perdition
raise up and reach for Zion
realize your personal ecstasy
has become mankind's archenemy
:VERSE 3:
love soars like an angel first given wings
and lands on a bed made with shards of the sun
lust bores into the deep like the roots of yggdrasil
and in its wake, all creation becomes undone
:PRECHORUS:
*ab aeterno
*ab infinitum
*alea iacta est
:CHORUS:
free yourselves from perdition
raise up and reach for Zion
realize your personal ecstasy
has become mankind's archenemy
:OUTRO:
*from the beginning
*without end
*the die has been cast
