Lyrics

Born in the embers of nebular suicide

The ninth aeon ordains a dynasty like none

Forged for fifty million years in a dying blaze of rage

Arise, chosen one!

Envy of hundred billion jealous stars

Who witness the splendour of your coronation

Domus Solaris, Ave Novus Rex

So begins the age of the House of the Sun

Your first four birthed in a hundred thousand years

Armoured sovereigns of the inner sphere

Raised in the glow of an inferno severe

Host to life, evolution, hopes and fears

Your dream

Eternal glory

Forever holding

The crown of Kuiper

The belt of asteroids

Invincible, the mighty Sun!

The last four begotten in three million years

Giant overlords of the outer sphere

Fostered in the cold and bleak frontier

Defenders of the realm, the tip of the spear

But six aeons from now your glow is fast fading

Specimen of vigour now a Red Giant ageing

Blinded by the avarice for self-perpetuation

You swallowed your progeny in hopeless desperation

In ten aeons it crumbles, the house is all but lost

A feeble White Dwarf now at mercy of the frost

Marauding swarms of stars snatched your begotten

Another dying star, a glory long forgotten

Once the envy of a hundred billion stars

Who now sing the dirge at your funeration

Rex Mortuus Est, Vivat Rex

So ends the age of the House of the Sun

Nothing lasts forever, your chapter is over

With all said and done, you’re just a loner

You misestimated your flame will never die

But time stops for no-one, it sure as hell will always fly!
