Frostcrown 08:05
By the glory of his majesty We purify the savages by the power of his burning light To justify the bloodlust Relinquish your blades Kneel down all you slaves! Lest ye shall taste The blood that runs through your veins! Pray to me! Stay or flee, now! For you shall see, I prey on the weak! Don't you see the consequence Of blindly following The unknown deities In rebellion of sin Against the desolate tides, Against the forsaken ones He drove back the blight into the catacombs of sin But oh brighter it burns Out from the blackened flame Arise again the prophets of unholy reign! The twisted branches splinter beneath the raging mouth of war As this crimson path leads our legions of the battle-torn Onwards our brothers! Now, come to arms! Death to the false King! For this tyranny, it ends tonight, under the new ruler of all mankind Slaughter the guilty and innocent alike From the depths of this blackness We will continue, that's just the price This reign will bathe in wretched sacrifice A single tear I shed for the blood of the fallen ones Children dead, family gone, I have failed them A thousand years I would suffer to undo their fate But left I am to rot, consumed by odium

Imprisoned 07:32
I see no future I must reap what I have sown Hatred painted amongst the masses Exit this dismal world Flow into the putrid blackness Onwards into oblivion Onwards into Infinitum Ave Odium Ave Daemonium Unleash the universe and defile the seventh sphere Beyond the ethereal Beyond the nagual Maledictus solis Maledictus animus Perdition of the mind, a cage that burns on all sides Unlock the hatred that cannot die Silence the mind who holds the mask over your fears As I wither in imprisonment I can hear the sirens call Betrothed to the accursed usurper Reviled, the throne of untold ages Her serpentine tongue brings mournful bliss Soothsayer to my golden dreams of death Betrayer of the dark and light Deceiver of man and gods alike

An opening appears now in the side of the mountain A ghastly light shines through I fear of what it could be A furious gust of wind howls forcing my hand into action The warning could not be more clear But lust cannot be quelled by fate There lies a mist beneath the shadows My choking breath threatens to cease There is an evil that exists here I will unveil this persistence My mind races with apprehension Is this the path or have I been lead astray Turning back would spell death for mortals Something pulls me further in My body begins to transcend Earthly senses I leave behind A vision flashes of my ascendance Before dropping cold to my knees Always it’s the same dream Soft flesh is more than my reward The scarlet moon as my viewpoint As kingdoms fall at my command Serpents guide my path Scrolls materialize in my hand My future laid out in an ancient tongue Ritual is left before the dawn

Deep within these woodlands the wind is not found, gone too are all manner of creatures and thus, no sound. This deathlike silence is unlike any that I have endured, I find my thoughts clouded and my vision obscured. My breath is slowed with hypothermia setting in, stinging cold rime besets my frostbitten skin. This creeping numbness does nothing to subside my agony, not that this event could be construed as a tragedy. Aspirations of untold magic and might bring me to this place of murderous blight. Prophetic scrolls told of a force that no mortal should seek, I thought the warning more fitting for the moral and meek. Rising in the sky I see the fruits of my labor take flight, a stirring sea of celestial dissonance erupts into the night. This mountain before me, cut nearly in twain, spilling all the wonders that lie in the agape domain. Though the air is riddled with this bloodied ascension, the chaos unfolding is not what holds my attention. Aspirations of untold magic and might bring me to this place of murderous blight. Prophetic scrolls told of a force that no mortal should seek, I thought the warning more fitting for the moral and meek. It's unclear if it's just me growing delusional with death at bay, but I find my self staring at the trees around me, unable to look away. A crystalline glaze covers everything in sight, soon to be lost. With the last breath I will take, my eyes set upon this intrinsic frost Deep within these woodlands the wind is not found, gone too are all manner of creatures and thus, no sound. This deathlike silence is unlike any that I have endured, I find my thoughts clouded, and my vision obscured.

Severed from second sight, the blind man that sees Simplicity, not always what it seems The Anointed will fall ceaselessly by night Glory to those who bow Bow before my might Rage and disgust Coarse through my mind Dreams of an empire shattered.. Woe to the traitor Sow their seed in blood Vengeance will soon be mine… Out from my fingertips Energy dark flowing cold from the sky Nothing escapes from my gaze Visions from the infinite: the end is nigh Humanity slips away—my fear has been dissolved Psychic vibrations of outer dimensions Judgment of the ice—emotionless and frozen Peering eyes reveal that I was made, not born Fragments of the universal mind Pulls my soul outside of time As I confront a new awareness of reality Endless thoughts not of my own Sacred knowledge overflown The veil is lifted and reveals my wretched destiny I can feel the icy breath - consuming me now Its blissful sting lures me - into the abyss A wintry kiss of hatred - fills my entirety Eyes frozen in rage - a nocturnal void Streets painted by the crimson flow The stygian waters cold in my veins Forsaken the memory of a merciless king Throne defiled by an unholy deity

The blind preoccupation of oaths, morals, and creeds Soiled by the conviction of man, weapon, and steed Following the order of shrouded implication The time has now come to release justification Heavy is the hand that wields the blade Heavy is the heart that casts the first stone Steel forges man's weapons Iron staves man's fears Blood dawns man's hatred Flesh bears all man's sins A bitter prediction A vile benediction The path to regaining a life one once led demands more than equal weight in sacrifice Lust for days that we have long since sanctified commands the soul that still ventures out for blood Follow the keeper to all man's sin Erase the order your heart lives in Cast out vengeance on those who wronged you Create the hell they will belong to A serpentile depiction A cold dereliction This bloodlust needs to be sated What better land than the one where I'm hated Entombed no longer inside me My vengeance will not incite thee Don't plead for my forgiveness Just stand and bear witness To a shadow that's long been lurking Pray you'll live to salute your new king

Ignis 05:17
The air itself reeks of the dead But you came out alive The vile and sick coated in red There was no mercy this night The fog of war dissipates Leaving just the moonlight To light the path of burning hate You feel nothing inside This global creation It comes with a price This dark incantation Becomes only a vice Ouroboros turns in the sky Ignis dreams this night Suddenly filled with a sense of dread There's no escaping this tide The path of war is what lies ahead With no sense of what's right You gaze upon the decapitated Their eyes open in spite Your sword has reaped the ill-fated Spare the reaper his scythe What becomes of consequence When you hold the reigns to unholy terror Pushing the lines of ascendance Fall into line with the standard bearer Rise! Amongst the dead Rise! To the long path ahead Rise! Your fate awaits Rise! We arrive at the gates Wings flap against a starless sky Orange flames burn into your mind Over the fields rings a battle cry The Grand Orator narrates his vision You are here to march against the weak and those who conspire Ignis lights the flame of burning madness and desire You are here to serve your king in courtship with his mistress, fire Those with stolen souls will awake amongst the funeral pyre Ignis dreams

Deadhand 07:30
A blackened layer coats the earth Far beyond this land of decay Withered trees among a shattered world In dust, this empire shall remain Behold the blinding light Harvesting the life Born of the dead hand Malice of the gods Purge the waters dry Ashes of the dead Extinguish the flames Only ashes remain The liberated dead Sing a somber hymn of dust Under the blackened fog A fragile world scorched by bloodlust Only I stand as god to be worshipped by none Disciple of the void Harbinger of the eschaton Graves among the cosmos Uprooted by the cold Morbid fragments of agony Whisper cries like rusted knives Scraping across this dreamscape The timeless ones arrive Beneath the blackened sky of eternal majesty We praise oblivion as the stars fall into the sea Chaos has been reborn from ashen cold hands Visions from beyond the void Ye shall dance among the dead Broken my will A god in the sky My blind revenge Has stabbed my eyes These bitter thoughts Freeze my mind Ashes spread from sea to sea Malice I cannot retain Blind redemption in the flames Misery for eternity Broken my will A god in the sky My blind revenge Has stabbed my eyes These bitter thoughts Freeze my mind Sever this hand This dead hand is mine Ashes spread from sea to sea Malice I cannot retain Blind redemption in the flames Misery for eternity Behold the blinding light Harvesting the life Born of the dead hand Malice of the gods Purge the waters dry Ashes of the dead Extinguish the flames Only ashes remain

Redemption 07:17
Awakened by fire Brought forth by the storm All forms risen of earth Crumble with my legacy Final moments of reality Shattered by insanity Incomprehensible forms take shape Unfolding madness in its wake Into which will become hell A drink of my wine Bleeds into the chalice For my last drink Before I am dragged below Deception, none left to deceive Redemption, I cannot receive Temptation, Lost to my greed Revelation, the emptiness that I feed Sorrow becomes a sickness One that worsens with forgiveness No mercy exists in darkness Leaving you to stand out Unleashed a can of worms Feeding off the remnants Decaying face of matter Unending energy Demoness of dawn Powerless over me A sacrificial oath Existence shall flee My eyes now wide open Bearing witness to the blackened flame Fear scattered into the depths below Drowning in the light above Fixated on the last remnants of life A slave to absolution Fleeting chaotic elements At last a moment of serenity
