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
3.
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!

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!

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
7.
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?
