Lyrics
Through shattered halls of ages past
A whisper calls upon the dust
A silver flame in shadows cast
Entombed in stone, untouched by rust
The hands of time have left no trace
Yet here it lies—a silent fate
With trembling hands, I lift it high
A lantern forged in stars long dead
It paints the past before my eyes
A world forgotten, words unsaid
A kingdom lost in golden light
But echoes stir beyond my sight
Visions flicker—truth untold
Shifting forms of fate unfold
What was written, what was dreamed
Bound within its ghostly gleam
The Lantern of Ælthas—its fire deceives
Illuminates worlds that were never believed
The faces I see, are they phantoms or real?
History bends as the ages reveal
With every flame, I am drifting away
A prisoner lost in the echoes of fate
A thousand wars, a shattered crown
A realm that fell, yet never stood
I see them rise, I watch them drown
Flesh and steel, the price of blood
A kingdom named, then left unknown
A hollow throne of fractured stone
Their cries still linger in the glow…
Wisdom comes, yet leaves me blind
Memories break, unchained from time
A shifting tide, the currents call
Did they exist—or not at all?
The Lantern of Ælthas—a doorway unsealed
Reflections of worlds where the past was concealed
Their voices call, but I cannot respond
Am I a shadow, or was I beyond?
With every flame, I am drifting away
A prisoner lost in the echoes of fate
I raise my gaze, and there I stand
A phantom lost in silver haze
No breath to take, no mortal hand
No pulse, no trace of former days
No life to claim, no past to weave
A shade I was—yet dared believe
A whispered fate I can't retrieve
The more I see, the less I know
Unraveled threads begin to show
A silent truth beneath the veil
The light reveals what must be failed
The Lantern of Ælthas—its embers deceive
It shows me the past, but it won't let me leave
A prisoner bound in the echoes of lore
Yet I was the dream that was dreamed once before
With every flame, I am drifting away
A whisper undone in the echoes of fate
No stars remain in hollow skies
The light now fades, the silence grows
No name is left, no tale survives
A world rewritten, I let go
The lantern falls, its glow undone…
And with it, I was never one
The Lantern of Ælthas—its fire has died
No echoes remain, no voices reside
No memory lingers, no tale left to weave
Yet once I was certain—was I meant to believe?
A flickering light, now lost in the haze
A whisper erased from the river of days
