What Is to Give Light Must Burn Lyrics


Cast down to the earth

To crawl at the belly in the dirt

Shining one

Liberating bringer of dawn

Illuminator

Bringer of dawn

Dawnbringer

Then brought to the realm of the dead

The fiery depths of the chasm

To ponder the fate

What is to give light must burn

Endure the pain

What is to give light must burn

Through the agony ascend to the heavens

Behold the flourishing tree

Through the agony ascend to the heavens

Serpent's fruit, with taste so sweet

"How you are fallen from heaven, O day star, son of the morning.

You have been thrown down to the earth, you who destroyed the nations of the world."

Through the agony ascend to the heavens

Raise the throne above the stars of God

Through the agony ascend to the heavens

Transcend into the Most High

"The man who shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble,

the man who made the world a wasteland, who demolished its cities

and had no mercy on his prisoners."
