Lyrics:
Oh sacred titan of the sky
The vault of heaven opens wide
With wings of light to speed the dawn
Talons poised to smite
Those who ignore Her song
Stoke the fire
Let smoke from primal cauldrons rise
Blazing spires
Uniting earth and skies
Through ash crusted land
Push forth from Her womb
Divine transformation
Restore what once was ruined
Sentinel arise
Keep vigil through the night
Celestial ally
Starlit hope until first light
When ancient pacts have been betrayed
Cries of reprisal fill the air
Vengeful colossus, cleansing rain
Restores the balance in Her name
Mighty sentry
a thousand suns behind your eyes
Blinding fury
Serpentine demise
Recorded by Mike Bond at Wolf Lake Studios.
Mixed and mastered in The Bond Cave.
