Lyrics - Darkness Dies by Paramaecium

Distant voices begin to sing, "
Now the fire's burning, let the firespread so those who think they live will realise that they are dead.
Over eons, over centuries, it has taken many names for the
Spiritof the
Ancient is the fire within the flames.
Let mankind burn withthe fire of the
Spirit."
Following the golden path towards the burning
Tree
I pausebefore
I enter within the castle walls.
As darkness dies the light oftruth is revealed.
I genuflect to worship at the throne of life."
I have followed your quest with great interest" said the
King as
Iraise my eyes to meet his. "
Many have stood where you standand many will stand there in latter days."
The
Firetree, the tree that burns whilst it is never consumed.
The
Firetree on which a man died to bring life to mankind.
Who washe, that man that died?
Who was he? "
That man was
God."
I came before the throne seeking truth and life but, as everythingin my life begins to fall into place,
I learn from the
King that indeath there is life; to die to one's self is the truth of salvation andeternal life.
The
King addressed me once more saying "
Once you were yoursbut now you are mine.
You have my permission to die.
Go nowand die to yourself."
And with that, in obedience to the
King,
I stepped into the poolof water, shedding my old garments and moving further into thedepths as the water engulfed me.
That day,
I entered into a newlife and, in the presence of the almighty
King, was born again.
