Like fiery lava is ground underfoot
Above the sky like dripping lead
At the vanguard of the final battle
The Guard stands and falls
With burning clothes and split lips
We slowly dance our dirge
How living is the blood in our veins
And how cold are the flames
And who are we shadows
Who do we ever serve
Which vigil do we ever stand
We riders of Chaos
We sing of evil deeds,
and life ahead shorter is
We sing of empty beds,
places never again seen
And the heaviest of sins we commit
when we feel nothing
And the most wondrous of miracles
is will and trust for love.
And who are we shadows
Who do we ever serve
Which vigil do we ever stand
We riders of Chaos
Only one detail is retained
Retained out of a lifetime
Some glow of a day past
Some glance of a companion
Only one detail is retained
Retained out of a lifetime
Some glow of a day past
Some glance of a companion
And we rise to the temples of beauty
And we rise as the day is past
And we rise to the great mountain
And we rise ever again
