The Ceremony
05:00
|
|||
Forest,barren
desertion of land
absent of life
now mortals stand
a calling
a purpose
from the beyond
muster my courage
weak souls begone
kneel for the start of the ceremony
impending retribution
bend to my will
destructive nature
my deadly skill
glory, corruption
reach for the box
lifetime of torment
eternal paradox
bow for the cleansing of the soul
Sun in my eyes
This is my passage
Into the light
Great Prophet of War
Promise me more
Blood
Blood of the damned
Fresh slate, beginnings
Sunlight on my back
A hero’s journey
righteous attack
Earning my blessing
A humble reward
Off to the kingdom
Brandish my sword
Stand for the end of the ceremony
Blood in my eyes
Blood of the masses
Burned by the light
By the sword in my hand
Cleansing the land
In the name of divinity
Loyal to the ring
Marching so far from my home
Call to war, call of grace, call it sacrament
Sacred is my quest, this I know
Draw my sword, holy light, holy lies abound
Fear in their eyes, in their bones
Flames arise, scorching the earth, burn the heretic
I watch on
In wonder
Of the might
Of evil incarnate, by your hand

Garden of Eyes
04:42
|

Eye for an eye, ashes to ashes
A rope that spins us round and round
Makes it's way up to the neck
Growing
A hatred
Prized goblet
Filled full with
Greed
I wade through
Stone hallways
Thoughts echo
Men brought to their knees
blinded
by justice
my senses
hightened by fire
I hear screams
flesh aching
head pounding
bloodshed desire
For a place at this table
This is what i fight for
Draw my word
Kill impale
My war is far from the end
Reminisce, cannot fail
This is what i fight for
Spread my wings
Deep inhale
My war is far from the end
invention of mankind
depriving me of wonder
feeding off my empathy
my compass pulling me yonder
sweating
teeth clenching
mind screaming
trial by fire
cold steel
to warm flesh
one step to
a new empire
throne taken
awaken
this vacant
conscious of mine
through bloodshed
of kindred
a glory
process divine
This throne is mine
For a place at this table
This is what i fight for
Draw my word
Kill impale
My war is far from the end
Reminisce, cannot fail
This is what i fight for
Spread my wings
Deep inhale
My war is far from the end

To Douse Them in Blood
05:57
|

Husks stood high, dried, crucified
This soil is holy, horrific, beautiful, divine,
WHOAH!
Mountains hold stories unspoken
Carved stones won’t remember me
Mangled flesh stood erect
Corporeal form unknown
The church bells ring once again
Herald of the unknown
Hall and pew built from rot
Formed of flesh and bone
Ashy light falls in hues
Welcome the frost and flame
Grasping back at where i came
The beginning of it all
Husks stood high, dried, crucified
This soil is holy, horrific, beautiful, divine,
Mountains hold stories unspoken
Carved stones won’t remember me
Mangled flesh stood erect
Corporeal form unknown
Mortal beings now defiled
Calling out for blood and soul
Painting these halls
with memories
Cravings of bloodlust whole
Deathly light falls on stone
A crossing from light to naught
Hallowed grief, Ash and frost
The beginning of it all
Bleached, shattered and gnarled bone
Mountains hold stories unspoken
Carved stones won’t remember me
Mangled flesh stood erect
Corporeal form unknown
F*CK

Collapsing Empire
06:09
|

The lantern by the cathedral sways in the middle of an icy field, barren and freshly adorned with snow
Bodies strewn, ritual complete, true horror revealed
It is winter now and no man can bear to witness these sites, but these aren’t really men are they?
The butcher, the priest, the god who has forsaken you when you needed them most
Spirits fade into the mist
Under the gaze; the stained-glass eye
Wisps sway above the fields of ice
Red-stained glass, as above so below
The butcher, the priest and the god who has left you
Just when you held out your hand
Almighty beloved the great absentee
Punish each other, releasing us free
They will march in winter
There’s no help
All the weakened,
dying
Join our dead
They’ll defile your honor
This is Hell
No name spoken
No story to tell
No stories to tell
As We Forget
The siren’s song
In our ears
All along
Clean break
Herded with the outcasts
Freezing without sun
Dying by the hundreds
With nowhere to run
Sleeping with our nightmares
Day brings no relief
Buried are our hopes and
Our bloodstained dreams
This is a deathwish
Join us in our hell
Breathing isn’t living
Nobody could tell
Sleeping with our nightmares
Day brings no relief
Buried are our hopes and
Our bloodstained dreams
No story to tell
Join us in hell

Trial of the Heretic
06:48

Arise!
Leave it all behind
Fighting
Fighting for the cause
SURVIVE
Setting
Set it all ablaze
Raining
Weighting
Pummeling down our might
Loyal to the blight
Grieving
weeping
Cower in fear tonight
Alluring lights draw the viewers near
Come touch this obelisk
of white
of marble
And blood
Ugh
Arise!
Leave it all behind
Fighting
Fighting for the cause
SURVIVE
Reaper
Griever
Traitor on the run
Loyal to the blight
Cast this guilt aside
Lest we burn together tonight
Mercy Murder Divine
Madness in your eyes
WE LIGHT THE WAY
GO
Divine
I am divine
Cast yourself aside
And we’ll burn
Together
As one
Crystal Veils
Of ice
Clear Above
Your eyes
Frozen Lake
Of woes,
Demons,Dreams
And sorrows
As winter
Moves closer
It’s breath assaults your skin
We grow pale
And weakened
Infernal rot within
Arms heavy
Head hanging
The anguish that you hold
Reflections
of madness
Extinguished in a world of cold
WE LIGHT THE WAY

What have I become?
What have I become?
A traitor…
A lowly traitor…
I betrayed my oath
Taken at the start
Betrayed my brothers in arms
What have I become?
What have I become?
A traitor…
Fallen as a traitor…

Cacophonous
Blasphemous
A knife in his side
Our payment is due
Our rite is nigh
Run him down
Bind his arms tight
The lords shall have their man
And we, our prize
For we are
Loyal to the Ring
Crows and ravens survey
Following trails for blood
The headache rising in pressure
You cannot escape the flood
Like blood to sword
Ink to paper is drawn
From feather to feather
A message sent by dawn
The passage of days
They slow to a stop
An eclipse of sun
A story of rot
A loss of direction
Now shattered within
A numbing of souls
Betrayal of kin
Cacophonous
Blasphemous
A knife in his side
Our payment is due
Our rite is nigh
Drag him down
Bleed his kin dry
The lords shall have their man
And we, our prize
For we are
Loyal to the Ring
Throw my compass away
An endless chase for gold
My greed for slaves and silver
Failing to sins of old
A STORY OF ROT
A STORY OF ROT
RETURNING TO NAUGHT
A STORY OF ROT
RETURNING TO NAUGHT
A STORY OF ROT
RETURNING TO NAUGHT

Mea Culpa
04:59
|

The stranger knocks on the door,
A breaking of the silence (the voices speak)
The chains rattle underneath
As demons emerge from the shackles
I am nobody now,
past buried six feet below
A secret now squandered
For now, this danger shall sleep
The murmur of a rumor
quiet, deadly breath
Spread through the city
Spelling out my death
‘O, the riches i tossed aside
Inherited traits
Remind me of an forlorn escape
Fueled by betrayal, by hate
An exhaustion of all my fury
Of flesh and bone
My final breath
Tell the hangman
I have arrived
The stranger knocks on the door,
A breaking of the silence (the voices speak)
The chains rattle underneath
As demons emerge from the shackles
I am nobody now,
past buried six feet below
A secret now squandered
For now, this danger shall sleep
The murmur of a rumor
quiet, deadly breath
Spread through the city
Spelling out my death
Loyal to the ring
Loyal to the ring
I don a blackened cape
An unsightly glory of mine
A blackened sun to end time
a traitor brought to me
The subjects shout in glee
I stand by the king
Loyalty to the ring
Loyal to the ring
Loyal to the ring
Loyal to the ring
As we kneel for the ceremony

-Pt I-
This is the way it ends
My chosen fate unveiled
by sickly light
traitor's path into the void
Embraced the unknown
no one’s path but my own
tomorrow is the day
An effort of questionable valiance
experience of dismay
my defeat, my severance
tomorrow is the day
an end to my story
The sun shall rise and fall
Move in spite of my last breath
“What consequence befits your actions
What punishment is to descend
Traitor of kin
Fallen herald of grace
Head fallen as you kneel
Yes, this is how it shall end
This shall be your end”
This is the way it ends
My chosen fate unveiled
by sickly light
A traitor's path into the void
Embraced the unknown
no one’s path but my own
All rise for the Ceremony of Cleansing
Divine one
See now this lowly soul
Looking down in mercy and judgment
Help this one who has lost his way
See the error of his sins
So that as he descends into the eternity of punishment
He will know that it is just and fair
A sentence equal to his crime
He will receive this punishment
And he will rejoice
-Pt II-
All hail the blackened sun
Reflection of our darkest needs
Bloodborne into reckoning
As servants in unison bleed
Carnage to be viewed upon
An eagerness burning bright
Disintegration of the mind
A deathwish brought to light
UAH
Many men have fallen before
Their bodies resting below
A journey from the highest of highs
Like winged men reaching for light
Nightly routine coming to end
As this death will make me pleased
Sharpen my blade to my stone
Sever all heads with ease
Bow down for your beheading
A vulgar display of grace
A shiver travels up your spine
Color fades from your face
Many men have fallen before
Their bodies resting below
A journey from the highest of highs
Like winged men reaching for light
A portal to the eternal flow
Spiritual summons invoked
Freedom from this lifelong blight
My gateway to eternal night
Phantom pains of the head I will lose
Don’t take for granted thy power to choose
Conquer your demons from your right and left
Vanquish your evils before greeting death
-Pt III-
