1. Beneath the Funerary Rosary
Beneath the funerary rosary,
The blackest night is alive with fire,
Darkness descends on the earth,
In the womb,
Of the wyvern in her majesty divine,
The instrumentation of demise,
Fills the air with vehemence,
Into the abyss,
The gods of war and conquerers,
Of faiths, of race, of scourge,
Denied their passage,
Amiss in the sanctuary,
Of the mind,
The unborn and the dead,
Give way to grey,
Transylvanian,
In its course of sin it defies,
The very nature of its blood,
Of its christendom,
It sheds its filth and joins,
With the olden ones,
The Elders
2. Ravendove
Inscriptions on the headstone,
Baldur lies in rest 'til the end,
'Til the demise of earth and sky,
Raped by the wind,
The bastard sons arise,
To conquer earth and sea and sky and space,
Impregnable fortress of the soul,
Is forced into the abyss,
There in the fjords, inverted on the cellular plane,
Forced into shape, by the towering falls,
Cascading,
Into infinity below, below the sky,
Into the center of our sphere,
Where we return,
To the earth, in shame, and in pride,
Devastated landscape, where grain is turned to weeds,
The world tree, Yggdrasil, bleeds in yearning,
Unconciously, sunconciously, into the unknown,
Falling into the crown of the crow,
The raven rides in the night, in disguise,
Behind the mask of a dove,
But no dove flies free in the night,
The mask is removed,
The traitor is shown, kill him
3. Deluge of Ensanguined Sorrow
Bloodthirsty, or so it seems,
Yet when I'm deaf to the cries
Of innocents,
I achieve glory divine,
What does it mean,
When birds and oceans speak
of needles and the four elements?
When trees are a dynamic
Euphemism for human life,
Cut down by the thousands?
Why can't we drive them back
To Israel,
To Jerusalem and burn it to the ground?
End the judgement,
End the misery,
End the pain that the mountains
Have suffered for untold millenia,
Blood shed on their earthen flesh,
Blood shed in the name of lies,
Now the time has come
To end the reign of all who oppose,
Flee sleep,
Ride on to war,
Is earth still round when
Order carries warlike connotations?
Ensanguined flag waves bitter in the rain,
A muddy deluge,
Falling down around your feet,
Engulfed in coils of electric misery,
An eye for an eye,
Is exactly what we see,
Even though it leaves us blind,
If we cannot rise above,
This concept predefined,
Then truly, this is for nothing
4. Arcane Infections of the Woods
Take in this world of anger,
Adrift on cosmic seas,
The line divides the current of mankind,
Burning flesh,
Deep into the woods of aeons,
Trees bend and curl beneath the weight,
Of the King,
Upon his oaken throne,
Ruling this middle ground,
With a fist that burns like fire,
And an eye that watches all,
The frigid mountaintops rise up
Above the tree line,
Challenging heaven with their calls,
An aura of the lords of ancient lands
Cries from graves that time forgot,
From Imbolc to Samhain it shall be told,
This is the era of The Oath,
When Dwarven thread can no longer hold the storm
Of pandemonia and dusk,
The Welkin holds the key to the cosmos,
Ataxia and asternia afflict the unborn earth,
Credibility denied,
You rape the wounds of an amended history,
Written records valued by our race,
Desecrated for the sake of covering the truth
