1.
Torn between honor and avarice - To stand shoulder to shoulder, Or seize your chance For your thirty pieces of silver? As a pack you flay your kinsman For apostasy But your ascension is not what you thought You are not a lion You are a coward My brother, my friend, now adversary incarnate will you survive the bitter hour yet to come? This empty icon carries us to the mouth of the Lethe And bids us drink - drink deep After the endless screaming, the silence is like coming home
2.
Craven 05:17
In a courtyard of charnel stone Through the doors of blackened iron A soiled hourglass sits in a ruined sepulcher As you stare past me with blinded eyes Deaf to the echoes of your footsteps As you smash the glass on the ichor rock Now you; who chose this bitter cup And you; who would drink deep From Narcissus' pool Crawl into the yawning grave That awaits And on your tombstone I shall inscribe: "Here lies the tyrant, that thought only of themselves"
3.
As you howled and railed into the void And screamed into the coming night So bright, so proud We armed ourselves And descended into the pit To gaze into the abyss Besieged by horrors on all sides But with victory in our hearts And unassailable righteousness at our backs Overwhelmed by the pale cacophony You lost sight of the majesty And gouged out your once beautiful eyes So, with sorrow I left you brother To your jagged throne, built of blood and shadow Save yourself from hell
4.
Oh bringer of ruin; scion of madness Self-righteous avatar of failure Eidolon of the grave, and apotheosis of arrogance Your eyes will see the end Of your facile hegemony Visions of the future, torn From the distended maw of the past Will you sneer then? Your malice isn't novel; Your great revelation is anything but There will be no reconciliation Visions of the future, torn From the distended maw of the past I wonder if you'll sneer then When you seek a brief respite From tenebrous oblivion I hope that it is my sneering face That you see And, so it is my honest prayer My fervent wish That you see your heart's desire Made manifest
