CORVUS CORAX LYRICS
"The Atavistic Triad" (2000)
1. Son of the Earth
2. Terminus Est
3. Sojourn
4. Mystagogue
1. Son of the Earth
Every land is a brave man's home
Fortune favors the braves...
Janissaries before daybreak
We will take, as we need
Genocide, denigrating
We are taking, as we need...
Sins of the warriors
Fight to the death
Sins of the warriors
Son of the earth
Host of evil
The voice of one
Crying in the wilderness
Evil advocation
In the manner of our ancestors
Neither delay nor rest
With claws and beak
Dare to be wise
The passion for glory
is the torch of the mind
Son of the Earth
Host of evil
The voice of one
Crying in the wilderness
There... is the easy road
There... lies the chosen path
There is one who seeks
There is one who finds
A path that is chosen
A road less traveled
There is one who seeks
There is one who finds
Neither paying nor praying
Cabalistic vis comica
Unyielding to misfortune
Go more boldly to meet them
Prophetic though am I
I am dying
In the wilderness am I
And I am crying
Fangs of the four wheels
Wisp eight winds
Resine a fennel vesture of solitude
Manawyddanis castle, dormarta doth call
When the Ravens of the battlefield
When the Ravens of the battlefield
Scream
Son of the Earth
Host of evil
The voice of one
Crying in the wilderness
2. Terminus Est
In a place I have never been
A vision quest behind you
The name of your father
cannot withstand this fiery wind
So you steps crack before you
Sullen time are upon us
Heed the oracle gust
Unearth the enigma, asunder the stone
Our embers seethe as the banished howl
I have entered the sulfuric womb
Betwixt the jaws and tail of change
Hail the corviform arising
A prismatic
axion reflecting what hurts...
My eyes as black behind the mask
Thousand ages passing by thy sight
Short as sand thats ends the night
My eyes as blood , the sign of my flood
Descending into the earth... purify and be... reborn
Be reborn
These are the words that burn
Burn these words
Sacrifice
Sacrifice
I fly toward the only star of hardship
Feed the flame before the dawn
So when my ashes feed the three
I'll blow the knot I stand upon
I've flown toward the only star of hardship
Fed the flame before the dawn
And when my ashes fed the three
I blew the knot I stood upon
I am the one and the many within me
Multiply myself within
Many from one
and one from many
Multiply myself within
I am the one
Many within me
Multiply
Myself within
3. Sojourn
4. Mystagogue
From the beginning
to the highest point
Here and everywhere
Toward the year of wonder
Tied to the soil
are my scattered remains
Tethered to the torches,
tempered in the flames
The whole world hates us
we are cursed, we are chased
To all the world nothing
from nothing, nothing is made
Sterile are the lepers
so safe are the whores
So born have I fasted
beyond sheild, before sword
You are the stork
that has landed on earth
I am the blackbird
who has taken... flight
Brighter through darkness
Kiss the mouth
bleeding from the wolf
Take the hand
that holds serpent's poison wind
The unknown explained
by the unknown
The unknown explained
by the unnamed
Women weep at the shore
For the men will not return.
For there is no more, no...
No sword of anxiety
cuts into our skin
No shadow of destiny
goes unbroken
Fortune takes flight and returns
Furor scribendi
All ills of flesh
Furor scribendi
All ills of flesh
