When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting,

Infinite in mystery is the gift of the Goddess
We seek it thus, and take to the sky
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest
Three friends go into battle.
One is captured
One flies away
The one that is left becomes a hero,

Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh
There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds,

My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow
My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber,

My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess
My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess
Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice.

Still You Remain - "No Saviour" (2014)

Lyrics:
IT WOULD BE TOO EASY
TO WELCOME THE DARKNESS IN
THE WARMTH OF NOTHINGNESS
ITS COMFORT, SO INVITING
ONE STEP FROM THE VOID

FEAR AND ANGER SURFACE
IN THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
MEMORIES OF HOW THINGS CAME TO BE
SO FRACTURED AND DEFORMED

THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE-DOWN
A FIERY SEA OF CRIMSON RAGE
ALL THOSE NIGHTS OF SORROW
YOUR VOICE COULD HAVE ASSUAGED

WHERE WERE YOU?
ALL OF THE TIMES I NEEDED YOU
AND YOU KNEW
THAT THIS WOULD BE YOUR CHANCE TO PROVE

A FINAL WARNING GIVEN
BUT IT WOULD SEEM TO NO AVAIL
DARKNESS CLOUDS AROUND ME
AS TRAGEDY PREVAILS
WITH ONE SWIFT MOVE
THE DEED IS DONE
WAITING NOW, ALONE
FOR THE LAST EBB TO FLOW
THE FLOWERS LONG SINCE WITHERED
ALL THE SWANS TURNED LOOSE
AS NIGHT CREEPS IN TO MEET ME
I BID FAREWELL TO THOSE I KNEW...
