Awaiting Bellerophon
06:09

The fleeting gods demand chimaera;
You sacrifice your blood to the illusion
Not for their sins - but to prove how far
You’ve fallen into the abyssal mire
Eager for the end to your narcissistic hubris
As you celebrate the betrayal of love and duty
When your dominance is over, we will gather
The remaining amalgam and provide salve for their wounds
So I hide my hatred behind this mask
While we wait for Bellerophon -
For Gabriel to sound his trumpet;
The sweet call of the Gjallarhorn
I wish you ill tidings in your grotesque pantomime
I wish you ill tidings in your grotesquery

Sic Semper Tyrannis
05:07
|

Through the nine burning circles
Adorned in the raiment of a long dead king
Striving against ghosts of sworn enemies
All shroud of nobility, betrayed - by your black tongue
See now - the bearer, of celestial heavens
This stoic and flawed champion
Deconsecrated as your new empires’ core
But never ends, your bitter crusade
As we trade death for death
So ushers in your new reign
We trade the whip for the scourge;
The yoke for the leash
While we wait for your works to be crushed and sundered
by the next liberating tyrant
Sic semper tyrannis,
Sic semper tyrannis!

Salem's Ouroboros

The hand with the scepter may change; but not the weight of dominion
The witch’s visage may change; but not the devil whispering in your ear
And you must inflict your deiform purity on the world
Spinner, alotter, severer
Self-appointed arbiter of fate
Iudex, iudices, carnifex!
Your restless eye sees all heresy, save its blackened reflection
Iudex, iudices, carnifex!
Self-appointed arbiter of fate
Spinner, alotter, severer
And you must inflict your deiform purity on the world
The witch’s visage may change, but not the devil whispering in your ear
The hand with the scepter may change but not the weight of dominion
Welcome, to New Salem!

To Bind the Wounds
04:12
|
|||
Observed the frailty of the human condition
Railed with such fury and vitriol -
And a total absence of comprehension
Aped the thoughts of others
Seized upon the misanthropic mantra
Espoused the evils of mankind;
And perpetuated its misery
But never thought to offer
A conception of another
Path to bind the wounds of man

The Eyes of Mnemosyne
06:36
|

I remember the man, who fed your evil desires
I remember three heroes, who gave their lives for truth
All the deep foundations of the Earth laid bare
But the blind had no eyes to see
No pearls before swine,
No grail before dogs
(They are) never to compose,
only to echo
The captives furious, to be freed from their chains
Living in a placid island of ignorance
In the midst of black seas of the infinity
And they were not meant to travel far
No pearls before swine,
No grail before dogs
(They are) never to compose,
only to echo
Now they’ve crowned a new God, a lord of lords
A ruler of bones on a gilded throne
A tyrant clad in prismatic veneer
But will you mourn here, deedless?
Forever dropping vain tears in thankless sea,
As if an ocean of sorrow would sway but one such heart?
