Lyrics
Path of Attrition
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Just a man, mortal, alone in his pride
standing before the gate
Barbed implements affright,
daunting meek souls
draining all courage
How many ages have they stood
beyond counting
eternal obsticle
barrier to overman
One false step, join the heaped bones
scattered round the gates
withered by fear of their presence
as so many died before
So many lies embelished...
Every nameless fear
each cry in the dark
every moment of weakness
issue forth from these obsidian gates
Maligned centre of distrubance
legacy of fore is contained
shadows of blackness conceal us
from a world in ultimate pain
The reddest rage
The blackest hate
Spawned in the world
beyond the gate
Rising to his feet
defying all their agless might
Passing through the fear
undaunted under iron skies
Writhing in contrition
portal of opression
hinges of suffering grind open
still the fist is raised
still the anger boils
still he screams defiance
Onward!
