Keys to the Dragonpaths
05:15

Destroyer/creator
you appear as one
Nothing exists without your blessing
all await your primal breath
So slow, the dragon raises its head
black blood runs eternal
listen, listen!
the emptiness speaks
of lives lived before time
and i am cast into silver waters
the first darkness embalms me
breathless, formless
Ancestral dragon opens its mouth
its fiery heart burns eternal
burns away my flesh and bones
listen, listen!
the emptiness screams
of lives lived before time
so slow, the dragon raises its head
black blood runs eternal
nebular flames of resolution
descend upon the trespassers
the emptiness screams

Morbid Glory
03:35
|
|||
Hostile and unhallowed
Minds scorched by an eternal sun
Here dwell the architects
Of a lightless dawn
Knighted by a spectre
Lusting for blood
Immortality through worship
And devotion to weakness
Thrones but no justice
Unyielding command
Of sacrificial swords
Swords
A necrotic pact
Materialized in monuments
To the black equinox
To the black equinox
Silent are the guardians
Transfixed are the slaves
Striding with corpselike grace
Towards morbid glory
Towards morbid glory
Fiery signs ascend
Destruction of the keys
Sanguinary vessels awaken
Arkhonic bloodrites revealed
They who lived as kings
Cower behind walls of gold
Under banners of deceit
They now die
A shroud of ashes
Over mournful ruins
Thrones but no justice
Unyielding command
Of sacrificial swords

Cursed Crown
03:25
|
|||
monarch and murderer
sword forever drawn
every instant might bring death
as i wear the cursed crown
i am the kingly cutthroat
and slayer of clergy
primeval anathema
haunts my realm,
as regicide ordained
the huntress has turned on me
even if i am under her rule
none of the twelve stars bring peace
least of all the crescent
of a pale moon
only troubled slumber
and nightmares in red
for this crowned head
to eternal vigilance
i am condemned
monarch and murderer
sword forever drawn
every instant might bring death
as i wear the cursed crown
torches might please her
and daggers for her king
blood flows eternally
for this woodland witch
cut my throat
take the oath
serve and perish
by the blade
torches might please her
and daggers for her king
blood flows eternally
for this woodland bitch
the glint of steel
cuts through shadows
it sings the dirge
of the king who wearily creeps
carrying the scourge of ages

Turiyan Wrath
04:56
|
|||
Worthless are your legions
Blade nor fire will defend
All spells cast in vain
Swiftly your existence will end
No ceremony observed
Will save your spirit
No ritual performed
Shall grant you salvation
No origin
No destiny
No escape
Prayers are wasted
And your protector
Dies with you
The sky and what is in it
The earth and all that is upon it
Lowly savages or sacred kings
(Become) equal in nothingness
The most mighty
Feel frail and slight
Those under the influence of divinity
Cower before
He who dreams the vanishing dream
Billions of years which have passed
And billions of years to come
Will not even have the value of a second
As if never existed
All the suffering
All the joy
Disappears
As If never existed
See before you an ending without reason
Eradication on all plains of existence
Meditate on this tragedy
An icy cold cuts through your soul
Take it not ill
That I destroy your dwelling
For I bring annihilation
Without spite
Truthful wrath
You will not avert
Turiyan wrath
You will not avert
Find peace in knowing this
Find peace in awaiting…
Turiyan wrath
