Stories from a Fallen World

Out of the silence, a voice begins to preach Saying he’s the man that will change everything His vision of future, in which he will not bow But rule the others - as he tries doing now Setting foundation for this new economy Was none other than killing his enemies Now he faces their mighty ghosts as they haunt him on through the night, making him want to die "We know you plead for the destruction and war We know you grieve, grieve for your soul We feel deeply, that you're afraid of tomorrow We'll hear your screams unless you end this terror" "Go away you silhouettes, you are but the fairy queens! I ruined your existence, I'll ruin your resting peace!" "You better think of what you're saying, you old man! How dare you confront the spirits of the dead? Now we’ll enslave both you and your men You all shall face the eternal judgement!" "Seize them! Take them away!" "Now you’ll face the judge - our eternal queen You better beg for mercy or be doomed for eternity!" "I will beg no one! Not you, nor the "queen"! You all better beg me to kill you instantly!" "Oh no, how can this be? His power is overwhelming me... Run my allies... Run..." "Destroy all, men! Destroy everything! No one can stop us, We've got eternity! Thank you, dear fairies for immortalising me! Now I can doom mankind for all eternity!"

Cold was the night when I was told of all miseries known to men Secrets worth more than gold, I lost my soul then. This grotesque tome of wretchedness held malevolent runes that showed me pain All the pain and suffering that you shall obtain! Misery to the world, I've come to spread I'm your worst fear, from now till the last day I am your pain and I'll be your death I'll make you scream, now and always! You'll remember grief that comes with my face Your flesh I will tear, It's time for my reign! All these ancient scrolls have shown me a new way, a way of grotesque endangering I’m a deathless apparition which brings your end with solemnity and brutality For what you have hoped that will be your end That will bring you peace and rest in this reign Will just make worse and pain will just blend Blood in your tears will show (that) there's no way To get off this carnival of the damned No good will you gain under my command You're of no worth if you're dead - not to me, 'cause I enjoy your pain and suffering I'm the supreme core of evil in all being I adore my monstrosity

The stars are falling, the sky is burning, the end seems to be nigh Every living creature is trembling, praying soon to die The fire is spreading through the lands as a symbol of his reign There’s nothing left but tantalising pain, will it ever end? “As a servant in my kingdom you will need no soul, So let it bleed and embrace the darkness while I take control. Let mercury into your veins and may sulphur be your breath For when it’s done you won’t be afraid of death, ever again” ‘Cause when they’re dead They rise again The torture never ends They’re screaming For generations his rotten hordes executed terrors untold Blasphemous prophecies were true: he’s never getting old! Blessed with immortality and a mind set on sin With sardonic wrath his hate is burning deeply from within Appropriation of seven kingdoms is the only dream he ever had His merciless fleet manned by lead-filled corpses is ready to cross the sea of blood Non-conforming! Dominantly marching forth, he’s reaching his goal The unquestioned rule of the macrocosm as whole Scorching the grounds and blazing is his campaign His constitution only recognises pain Never-ending pain

On the reach of the fifth kingdom An ominous darkness surrounds the road My legion froze, completely lifeless As my breath is getting cold What is this force? Where am I now? Who is denying my flaming crown? Where is the road? Where did it go? I can’t feel the rocks below Show yourself to me! In this night there is nothing that’s bright and I barely see the ashen light An eclipse of the face protrudes from the dark, this ghastly face I recognise How can this be? My eyes disagree, but standing right here, in front of me Is the Eternal Queen with a face so pale and her eyes shut tight behind a veil “Never again” were the only words that she said As she opened her eyes, I was consumed by the sheer absence of humanity Two vortices arise revealing the darkness where her soul used to be Such a glorious sight excites me beyond my grasp of reality Her icy skin sending chills from within, was she really once my enemy? I hold her tight while my flame shines bright and her soul consumes all of the other light For a while there was no sound, just a black sun high above the ground Lightning splits the skies Unites the power in our eyes Fires ignite our breath We transcend life and death Her presence makes me feel like I could burn the world We shall rule as the ageless tyrants in the everlasting afterworld Perpetual cries of the baseborn are the hymn to our joint reign With disdain we shall wipe the life off this horrid astral plane Never again will you be left out of my plan Never again! I will lead you to conquer worlds What is this force? Who am I now? Who is this jewel inside my crown? What is this soul? Where does it go? This vile feeling I can’t control The flames burn so cold, but the frostbite is hot United we’re stronger than we thought With our powers combined we will end all the lives Of the breathing scum that’s still alive All must die! Pray for all to die!

The night devoured the morning, the fires burnt the ground A worthy foe on the battlefield was nowhere to be found Armies fell and rose again, to serve them on their side They march on with audacity that cannot be denied Onto the last victory, they’re ready for the game The closing play in this theatre of pain The curtain shall come down when the last kingdom’s controlled By eternal darkness, as the prophecy foretold The last battalion of the fair Quavering in despair Their champion arose “We must take no remorse …in our own death” They’re flying high, observing puppets on the stage Every scene filling them with bitterness and rage Putting all resources into the final fight Vast armies stretch beyond the line of sight The air is getting thick from the grizzling sounds Of weapons slicing flesh and bodies hitting ground Past the point of no return, the oath has been sworn A new sea of blood is bound here to be formed Have no fear, pain is here Fire! Fire! Liberating, everlasting, mesmerising flame Fire! The flames grow higher The soul-consuming. dominating messenger of pain Fire! Fire! Consumes the flesh, reduces to ash, all that’s in its way Fire! Sings like a choir There’s no escape from melodies of abysmal dismay On the other side, in the haunting dark the Eternal Queen was ready to strike Casting spells of unspeakable woe, each one more deadly as her power grows A courageous guild started a coup They ambushed the Queen with a magical cloud Blinded by rage she let her guard down With all their strength they vigorously fought For hours on end, until she was caught They dragged her far away from here, never to be found She was put on a torture wheel, head facing the ground For every fallen ally they threw a sack of stones The ambiance was filled with the sound of her cracking bones They hacked her into pieces, cut every vein She couldn’t die but she felt excruciating pain As the final step they set her body alight Her immortal soul was crushed with this gruesome sight Comatose From pain receptors’ overdose She couldn’t move or breathe Her soul collapsed She couldn’t stand it any more And once again She was dead Her soul began the journey towards the sky Leaving her torturers petrified Impervious darkness covers the plains No light will there ever shine again The Flaming Crown felt a part of him die Absurdly still hoping that she’s alive Riding swiftly towards the cursed site This fate he will not recognise Approached The place where once she stood But all that was left Was burnt flesh Devoured by emotions, his madness reached new heights Cathartically killing everything in sight The gateway from the afterlife was permanently closed No undead soldiers evermore arose Enemies and allies were all wiped alike Abidingly put down by his fatal strike Over his own actions he lost all control For where was his soul is now a massive hole He won’t stop until they’re all dead If he could, he would cut his own head All the world united to try to take him down But they failed to even touch his crown How can you kill that which will not die To whom the comfort of death is denied? How do you crush that which has no soul That lost its purpose and ultimate goal? Waves of soldiers met their gruesome end Some even by their own hand They embrace their deaths as a welcome release From this living hell stripped off any sort of peace Now they’re all dead The sea is full of lead Sitting on the edge of a bloody shore Of his sanity he slowly regains control All around him are fields of corpses In his mind he still hears their voices Outcome of this battle, the final score He lost all he was working for After a deep thought, to him it occurred He is now the ruler of (an) empty world

It was less than a century ago when you came Claiming your innocence With words that our destinies are the same Slowly they fade away... Just the image of your burning flesh ...burning, burning... Now it’s the only thing on my mind ...wish I left it all behind... They slaughtered you for a wrong cause Oh, how have I been blind... I wish I was dead myself So we could rule eternity, all again Soon I'll be with you, my precious love I will torture myself to death To repay all I owe to you I will come to you as pure as a God...
