The Stars Will Fall - Crom

For there will come a time when Men shall tire of the ceaseless humiliations

meted out to them over countless eons by careless Gods.

And all Men shall rise up as one against the tyranny of those Gods.

And the Gods themselves shall stand powerless as their might fades away into

nothingness.

Whilst the stars, the very symbols of that might, shall fall as stones from the

heavens.

And Men shall live by their own rules, and thus shall they unwittingly herald

the dawn of the Dark Age.

The harmony that once existed between Gods and Men and Nature shall cease,

and darkness shall fall upon the world.

Pay heed to these my words: The stars shall fall.

Adore me -- for I will be by your side

Praise me -- for my stars will shine so bright

Summon me -- for I will speak my truth

Worship me -- for I crave eternal youth

Oh god, why do you humble us so much?

Why do we have to abase ourselves?

Have we not always paid obeisance to you?

We will not suffer for all eternity!

I said adore me -- and I won’t ravish your wives

I said praise me -- and I won’t darken your lives

I said summon me -- and I won’t take away your lives

I said worship me -- and I won’t start a bitter fight

We will praise you no more -- for You are not worthy!

We will summon you no more -- for you are menacing our lands!

Without your people you are nothing at all

We will live by our own rules!

The age of subjugation will end up from this day forth

It is time to say farewell

And as it was foretold

Men denied their Gods, their gifts,

Their favours and their faith

And from this day it was already clear

That without men the gods would lose their might,

Their meaning and their reason to exist

And as a witness to this glorious day

I watched the heavens darken and become strange

And the stars lost their origins

And I have seen with my own eyes

How the stars fell from the sky

And now you know the prophecy has been fulfilled

The prophecy has been fulfilled!
