Of War And Redemption

You judge my cause

But you are mistaken

For i've seen the rise of this empire

In a glimpse of eternity

Am i not the steady stream

Of ageless cognition

That guides your fates

Through the sewers of time?

Am i not the fire

Of ritual cleansing

That purged your holy blindness

For the vision?

Am i not the sacred zero

Of the lost beginnings

Which gave birth to all mentations?

I am the crux of your salvation

The exodus of reason

To the sands of insanity

Unveils a reflection , caught

In the waters of my inner self

A menacing taint of red

The wolves of my lust

Howl in futility

Awaiting the serenity , sought

In the grim depravation

And bloody carnage of war

The fog is rising

They shall see us for who we are

Arise!

Arise from the slumber of this fickle peace

Tame the ebb and flow of destiny

Ride to death and immortality

Ride, my soldier , ride

Conquer the land in the name of thy lord

Now the deafening silence of war rings in our ears

Above the din , we can hear

The racing hearts of the enemy

We can hear ,we can see

The failing courage of men

The fear in their eyes

The bowed head deserves severance

Mercy begets vengeance

The relative holds no power

We search for the absolute

Awaken!

Awaken the iron of the empire

Render the winds of antiquity

Subservient to your warrior decree

Fight, my soldier, fight

Lay down your lives in the name of thy lord

Lay down your lives for the only true cause

I can hear the final call

I can see the ranks of the elders

On the horizon ,

Calling us out

They're calling us out

The end is nigh , the end is nigh

Cut me open , so they don't bury me alive
