Ascending In Triumph

Since I once heard the enticing call
From the depth of the most secret core,
The very rebellious lust of triumph
Burns wild in my black longing heart

And now as it enchants me again,
Stronger and clearer than ever before

To those who cannot fly"

Driven by an urge to [C7]experience the concealed
And now I shalt conquer God's throne itself
Through aeons I have tɾavelled, floating through tunnels
For nothing I seek but the gold of divine
No chains of profane can ever prevent me
Even though my [A]world's foundation [C7]tɾemble

So I followed the call [Em]and [Bm]threw myself
Out from earthly cliffs, into [C7]the unknown
Where those who dare to [C7]enter will burn,
Yet ascending in tɾiumρh...
