chonny jash - before heaven's fall / the dead kingdom stands lyrics

what are you, child?
why do you wear the dead with such pride?
be careful, boy
not to trip and fall in your desire
what are you, child?
there’s something fierce piercing through your guise
boy of many bodies, many faces, many masks +
can you remember which one’s real, and which ones are the disguise?

i will never fall to man’s lies
you’ve lived many lives
seven years
three days, each so many times
perhaps the corpse’s facе you wear is the boy who should have alrеady died!

heaven calls, and brings forth souls polluted
raining down, the dead respond in kind
heaven falls, as tombs become uprooted
rains run high when life becomes demised

watch where you step
don’t disturb the dead
stone tower lets seldom corpses rest

you make a mistake, boy
it’s a grave crime that you commit
you dig your own grave, boy
but you will not lie in it
this is a land of bones, boy
as animated, or more, than the living
you will become a subject in my kingdom of the dead
and, for transgressions such as this
you will not find your king forgiving
darkness will rise like warm air
out through the soil, it follows you
sullen and spoiled, rot swallows you
hark! this is all that will come from your prayers
no one will answer. none will hear
no one will come to silence your fear

heaven falls, as tombs become uprooted
rains run high when life becomes demised
skulls and bones make screams sound all so muted
golden light burns cold in upturned skies

you make a mistake, boy
to wear faces that aren’t your own
you know not what your desecration invokes
of the forgotten souls of the gibdo, my friend keeta, the ancient garo
each stolen face emanates the arrogance found beneath the facade
oh, you make a mistake, boy
you should wear your own face, boy!
at least then you’d die yourself, and meet the gods with less disgrace
but then, in the end, you’re like me, boy with the harrowed heart
let me teach you just how truly empty you are

rise, soldiers hollow and loyal!
stone tower takes not kindly to
fools who take darkness lightly
tonight, light will fall beneath shadows of the royal!
knuckles of iron, poes, dancing dead
stalchildren, beamos, all bring forth dread!
skulls and bones make screams sound all so muted
golden light burns cold in upturned skies
wraiths call home these lands left scorched and looted
death reigns high upon grounds left bare and dry

the father won’t last long
the girl will die still young
the gravekeeper’s rot has already begun
the invisible soldier will yet be forgotten;
in rotten soils, his soul will be trodden
the well will stay haunted
the river won’t run
the army of darkness fears not the shallow sun
i am igos du ikana, boy!
learn your place!
i fear not the fool who wears a stolen face…

tell me, boy. how can you stand so proudly?
most would fall before they even made it to face me!
standing tall, there’s something fierce within thee
like a wall, demise has been denied
my bluff was called, my folly dealt with swiftly
take this, boy – a soldier who can’t die
a pair of hollow eyes
a heartless, empty child
a victim of the night
an envoy of the light
muster your power
brave the eleventh hour
fall not, nor cower
please… surmount stone tower
