[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: Shagrath]
The word that has been spoken
Through time and time again
Is the light that inhabits our voice
The light that keeps us aflame
[Verse 2: Shagrath]
All retrospection is invalid
As we've been fed disdain
Confined to the fence of knowledge
We need to die, die again
[Refrain: Schola Cantorum Choir & Shagrath]
To govern thyself
You must know your darkness
To govern thyself
You must know your past
[Chorus: Schola Cantorum Choir & Shagrath, Shagrath]
All rise and fall
All is internal
All eternal
All rise and fall
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Schola Cantorum Choir & Shagrath]
All is internal
All eternal
All rise and fall
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3: Shagrath]
Controlling matter with will (Will, will, will)
We withstand every storm
In and out of exile
Spirit, matter and form
[Refrain: Schola Cantorum Choir & Shagrath]
To govern thyself
You must know your darkness
To govern thyself
You must know your past
