the protagonist of this song could be time. A corrosion force that shut everything down, even the greatest burning. the bound between chaos and time could be a reference to Nietzsche: according to him, caos is for all eternity che balancing force of the universe.
[Verse 1]
Sandstorm
Breach of burning skies
Unyielding tempest of eternity and timeline
Chaos, all consuming sanctuary of reigning fire
[Verse 2]
Sacred heart of frozen soil
Unholy
Apocalyptic death cloud
[Verse 3]
Unbarred
Disputed not held
Authority
[Verse 4]
Floating six feet above the ground
The presence of a smiling elder face
[Ad lib]
Sandstorm
Breach of burning skies
This sanctuary with recourse
