Sleeping City from Severan by Midnight Force

An emperor without his throne,
His one true love his oath is sworn,
Traitors cast their nets, imposters gather force,

A gale is coming, blowing fleets of metal oars,
The throne to claim or to lay waste,
To the city of dreams, forlorn,

The emperor at the helm, the fleet sets sail to the Isle,
Ancient walls and towers stretch into the sky,
Defenders cast aside, no dreams left but to die,
The palace taken, love's not lost, it must awaken in,

The city that dreams but never sleeps,
The city that weeps for æons past,
An ancient empire left ablaze,
The ruby throne, its final days.

Sleeping city, Imrryr fades away,
Eternal beauty, spires razed to dust,
Sleeping city, your soul descending,
Eternal beauty, set aflame.

The crystal door now in reach,
Mournblade's song playing in our mind,
Black Sword's brother will feel our might.

Fire bursts and metal shrieks,
One more charge and love is freed,
But Stormbringer shall claim her life.
