1. Revelations Through Carnage
2. Texts of the Decayed
3. By Order of the Tyrant
1. Revelations Through Carnage
Generations languished through
Dark times
Raped and dismembered by the
Maelstrom of war
Suffering dined at every repast
With the souls yet to be severed
From immoral flesh
The past is the present by this
Perspective,
The future bears yet deeper wounds
End times draw near the river’s banks
The waters grow crimson with
Blood and entrails
No more can human kind drink
And thirst will envelop the world
A decaying planet only further decomposes
What is dead cannot be raised
Past the point of now return we
Have through rotting corpses
Of our brothers of our race and
Of our hopes for salvation
2. Texts of the Decayed
A slimy fog sweeps through the moor,
Over epitaphs engraved in stone:
Marking the earthly beds of the rotted,
Decomposed shells of long departed souls
With book in hand approach the grave,
Recite the archaic texts of the decayed
The stench of death no longer fresh
Animate the putrid infested flesh.
Awake but at eternal rest,
The corpses tunnel through rocky soil,
They break the surface but don’t breathe the air
And walk the earth as slaves of the rites
With book in hand approach the grave,
Recite the archaic texts of the decayed
The stench of death no longer fresh
Animate the putrid infested flesh.
“ad surgendum impero,
se somniente aeterno”
With book in hand approach the grave,
Recite the archaic texts of the decayed
The stench of death no longer fresh
Animate the putrid infested flesh
3. By Order of the Tyrant
By order of the Tyrant…
Thousands slaughtered for imperial glory
Pagan lands ravaged by his legions
Under the golden eagle justified,
To rape, to pillage, to burn
By order of the tyrant…
The heathen king was bound in chains
Paraded through the capital’s streets
Stripped of his crown of horns
To a grand final of suffocation
An empire is forged
From the ashes of nobles
The conqueror takes the throne
Trinkets thrown from wagons
All that is left of what once was
Blood now spilled by the stabbing sword
By order of the tyrant…
