I Shall Raise My Burning Sword
Vaults of ancient ones unburdened, From nameless tumili they rise, Catacombs of sleeping dead, Fortresses of old enshrined I shall raise my burning sword, Striking down on worthless hordes, Constellations in the sky, Reigning down as bastards die Battlespells echo through the earth, Rumbling and breaking the walls, Of their castles and havens of refuge, Crumbling ruins now their grave Hearken howling of hounds like the plague, Comes from the crypts, immesurable hatred, Receive my scourn, the scourn of the ages, Under wings of chaos, embrace thy moribund fate --- Death! "Hearken traveller, rest your weary steed, The hearthfire is warm and the night cold. Sheath thy blade, you will be safe here, for awhile." Twilight lamentations under the nightfall, Witness everdying and blackened flames, Swirling black magick possessions, Nocturnal arcane ---- Nefarious, steadfast Upon Stygian black winds, We ascend toward twilight- To lunar vaults aflame Spectres of the night embrace my weary soul, Stygian winds hold as the chariot takes me home, The Scythe shall reap the land, abyss shall take my hand, And I the walking gallows shall return, to lunar vaults aflame --- To lunar vaults aflame, With Stygian winds Behold the congregation, Pummeling iron and damnation, Frostbitten the moonlight calls, And takes away their dead to halls Liberating oaths were sworn, Blood was spilt by hex adorned, Bound by mighty word of kings, Battle-tales of ancient yore we sing In hallowed graves they now shall rest, Where insects crawl and will infest, Spoiling all but brittle bones, Forever cast in concrete helms Memories lie where soil creeps, And now their bodies finally sleep, Into earth they now descend, Finally their spirits shall transcend

Corruption will burn aflame, And be born anew, From the ashes I shall rise- And revolt against this- Disgusting modern world, And all of its lies, Dominion of ruins I stand, To conquer and build again, I am the reaver, I bring this doom, Upon the netherstorm, Of purple-velvet khaos Swirling above me, Reaping flaming winds, Of cataclysm, And scum eradication As I draw ever nearer, To the final fateful hour, Besieged by fortresses, Of overwhelming darkness, Black wizards surround, And thunder cracks the helm, Opening the chasm below, A rising new power it glows Citadels of old, Ancient and wise, Manifest with netherstorm, Hail purple-velvet khaos Reaping from mighty halls, With herculean strength, Everlasting current, Like the blood of the night raven

Grimness rises, In the air, A freezing chill, Sweeps the wind, The congregation, Rises below from the dead, With crowns of frost, Upon its head Arrives in darkness, One with the night, Now hear my verse, This verse of shadow, Blood memories, Of what was once lost, Adorned in Crowns, Of omniscient frost We ride the land, Tracing this soil, Through the freezing Inferno, And cities ablaze, As cataclysms rise, Above the skies of the night, And all shall burn, In unholy frozen ire In mighty halls, Amidst the ancient ones, They sing their songs, And strike those strings, The glacial paths, Ones from most boreal Thule, Are adorned in Crowns, Of omniscient frost, --- Adorned in Crowns, Of Omniscient frost

Guided by the blood, Of our enemies we stand, United in warfare eternally we ride - Into battle, where the megaliths still hold Destroyers of all we hold sacred, Tourists of all that they "love" Crush them! Unravelling Hatred, For everything that they stand, Against them forever, With smite from our own burning hand They will never defeat us, we- Curse them with infernal sabbath! Waging war eternal, Death to rats! Smite their sinew, Crush their bones, Hammering the voices of steel - So be it our ichor may spill We wage them war eternal, Death to rats!

I have fled above here, On the wings of a raven, Witnessed the statues, Mighty and graven Carved out by sweat- And blood of ancient ones, Summoning the elder gods, Eldritch and nameless On the wings of a raven, Iron shall fly once more, Soaring and glistening, Like the steel of yore Pummelling at the anvil, I shall expel my power, Honouring primordial stones, With the blood of romanticism --- With the blood of romanticism

Wraiths riding the funeral winds demons and spectres they whirl, The ancient roots twisting they burl, Ancestors calling me from mighty lands up high, Their blood runs through me hearken my cry Ere the rider approaches and all light will fall, On the wings of a raven gliding to halls, Hear the night sky calling me with the might of a thousand flames, I can feel them drawing to me, hearken my cry The soil is frozen, verglas now runs through, Cleaved and broken by winters dagger true, Firmament is gaping, trembling, roaring, Guffawing winds are clasping, warring Trees burling below they bellow with wisdom, Singing the songs of forgotten realms, Their many faces swathed in viscum, As the stormwind passes, now they whelm Mountains grey and valleys green begotten, By the Neolithic cromlech where sacrifice lay rotten, Awaken from barrows and tumuli beneath false thrones, Antediluvian warriors of iron and stone Wraiths riding the funeral winds demons and spectres they whirl, The ancient roots twisting they burl, Ancestors calling me from mighty lands up high, Their blood runs through me calling my name Ere the rider approaches and all light will fall, On the wings of a raven gliding to halls, Hear the night sky calling me with the might of a thousand flames, I can feel them drawing to me, hearken my cry On the cold dead ground wounded I lie, To transcendental realms my spirit shall guide, Upon nomadic chariots of old unbind, To the great empire of steppes within the mind With vigorous gust commanding the Carnyx, Sounds the foreboding of slaughter, Megalithic god of stone, command your subjects, Until the stars engulf us and red shall run the water
