Ancient Sword Cult
Waning was the hour When diamonds in the stone Turned to eyes of fire meant For me and me alone “Graft onto your being,” Thus was the Master’s call, “The burden of the knowledge of The truth behind it all” Like a moth into the flame Like a spell unto a name A timeless age has now begun Antecedence, be undone I am death undone Reawake a golden heresy Higher life begun Reawake the argent crypt Black stone saw its cleansing In midnight’s silver mist Raven’s eyes and mother’s cry Crushed in a sinner’s fist From a copper chalice Pour cerulean flame In the hiss mercurial Resound the Master’s name

For 300 years and 300 days Forgotten are the silver mines Forsaken are the graves Delved through ageless ores Where fortune’s favors dwell Now purged from sight and memories A cold deserted shell In their midst the empty planes Hold a spire left pristine At its heart a promise lies In the veils of time unseen Hidden depth of earthen riches And the greed that caused it all What is left is only The Mountain standing tall The Mountain giveth And the Mountain taketh its toll The Mountain giveth And the Mountain taketh it all Crushing flesh and bone In savage pact consumed Bleeders of the granite veins As payment now entombed Naught but death now roams These caverns of decay And those who took the Mountain’s soul Gave theirs when came the day

In my search for the serpent betrayed My avarice alone left me blind I was fool enough to enter the gate In the sorcerer’s mind Ancient ruins in sinister shade Am I trapped in the throes of a dream? Since I entered the sorcerer’s gate I could hear them scream “Eternal torment is what lies ahead! Eternal Fire!” A warning from the dead Into the sorcerer’s gate Oh the riches I found in the crypt Where Nadredd the serpent was slain When I reached for the fathomless script I felt my sanity wane Eternal torment! With the dead I cry Eternal fire set ablaze the sky After all, did I truly escape From the shadows, the kingdom forlorn? Close my eyes, I can still see the shape Of Nadredd the serpent reborn Eternal torment for the serpent high Eternal fire set ablaze the sky

Bright lady of heaven’s cope Eternal giver of life and hope She’s so far, yet my grasp will reach her still Lady Sun, I challenge thee The new master will be me Come the dawn, my sword has gods to kill Under her eternal eye I must walk this path of mine That will lead me to the blinding shore Incandescence is her throne It is hers and hers alone Not a mortal worthy of her court I rival the sun My lady of fire Oh, radiant one The hour is near
