1. Exordium
2. Mors Triumphalis
In battle itself is the power
to arouse and awaken supremacy
Beyond victory and defeat
is the only virtue we surrender to
Enslaved, the powers of
chaos and fear and passion that blind the fight
Above pleasure and pain
and gain and loss, surpassing moral chains.
In his cell, his pallid
telluric confine, man subjects himself
Inaction, desire;
secular defects that war shall transcend.
Light against raw power.
The divine path - A symbol of triumph
Conquered, the crisis of
corporeal death - Victorious peace
Whether through gain or defeat
impulse shall always hinder
Death triumphant conquers
indolence and man’s emotions.
Whether through death or victory
the ascetic shall always ascend
Death triumphant conquers storm,
blood and misery.
3. MCMXLV
Undamaged area of
industry and civilians
Exceeded pacifism
Necessary devastation
Decimated - that industry
Glorified - that terrorism
Exigent martial need
to control a ruined land.
Crime against humanity
No remains, brick or mortar
No relics, no sanctuary
No treaty was ever severed.
Means to an eradication
Disabled and destroyed
No counterstrike can now be launched
No prayers for a razed Dresden.
4. Thus Always to Tyrants
Submit, Obey, the scrolls of Abraham.
Set in Parchment and leaves and stone.
The apostates now lead the war.
Marching under standards of blood.
Procurators of a law before time.
In an age barren of honour and pride.
The purgatorian storm shall sweep
Over fields of degeneracy.
Creators and Destroyers, masters of war.
A dying sun shines no more.
Submit, Obey, the scrolls of Abraham.
Rotting parchments and leaves and stone.
Perennial cycle of mankind
Treading the degenerate path.
All shall taste the sword of truth.
All shall inhale the fire of justice.
Submit, Obey, the scrolls of Abraham.
Punish, Destroy, the nonbelievers
Submit, Obey, the scrolls of dissolution
Destroy, Create, under this standard.
5. When The Pillars Fall
Spill the veins of desert prophets
Cut the throat of dying monarchs
Spill the blood of false prophets
Noose the throat of walking corpses
Sow the seeds of sacred warfare
Triumphant soul of iron conquest
Fist and fire of purgation
Thirst for throats of treachery
Pierce the flesh of desert prophets
Cut the throat of dying monarchs
Hang the slaves of false prophets
Spear the heart of putrefaction
Hordes of fire and supremacy
Against bitter blades of treason
Carry the torch of domination
Through septic shrines of frailty
Dislodged bones of the slain
Washed in the rivers of blood
Polished by the desert sands
In the eyes of a dying god
Hordes of Holocaust
Fist of Empire
Age of Inferno
Flames of Genocide
Si Vis Pacem
Para Bellum
When the pillars
Collapse and fall
Hordes of Holocaust
Fist of Empire
Age of Inferno
Flames of Genocide
Si Vis Pacem
Para Bellum
When the pillars
Collapse and fall
6. Brotherhood of Arms
Millions of the young
Strode under the black sky
Mobilized for glory
As their march echoed
Entrenched by the raw fire
Immobilized in that soil
Machines controlled the fields
Where honour could not.
Only when daylight dawns
And the dusk has faded
Ploughed by shells; the acres
Of grey fields are seen
Not one blade of green grass
Not one hope has survived.
Among the living lay
The tombless dead
Obeisant to fate in the morning mist
The Brotherhood of arms reached its journey’s end
No requiem or obsequies
For the anonymous fallen who rest in the soil.
No recourse through the machines
Thrown into gun fire all maneuvers.
The sunken road, now nothing more
than shell-holes filled with carcasses and wreckage.
