Yesterday Brings but a Serpent of Ash Songtext

von Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio

From the outpost of time I envision
Engraved in the hearts of the great
A symbol of time and succession
A serpent consuming its tail

Come with me and see
Come see what life can be
Come with me and see
What life can be for thee

I venture a sign of succession
Of triumph and downfall converged
My comrades that bleed must remember
That blood is essential for birth

Come with me and see
Come see what life can be
Come with me and see
What life can be with me

Compelled by the quest of perfection
Where blood is mistaken for wine
A symbol of change and succession
A serpent of wandering time

Come with me and see
Come see what life can be
Come with me and see
What life can be for thee

Our future is written in ashes
All kingdoms subverted to yore
Our presence emerged in recurrence
Predestined to spells of before

Come with me and see
Come see what life can be
Come with me and see
What life can be with me
