(Lyrics: LoSicco '98) |
|
:As giant wings, fashioned from the flesh of the fallen, |
|
exerted their will to secure beast and rider's course in twilight's sky |
|
so the once placid night was disturbed. |
|
In legion they came with only instinct as guide spurred ever forward |
|
by an all-consuming hunger. |
|
A hunger so old that the truth in its origin was forgot, |
|
and so it came to pass: |
|
In a land far, far from the source, far from the light |
|
Order decayed, decay wore away the immortal pride |
|
Realize the nature deprived |
|
Wanting the system has failed |
|
Willful the inner self |
|
Guiding where free flows the life |
|
In a scene, already seen, a pact is made |
|
(And) Gathering men, yet not wholly men, a break is made |
|
Fledglings at a time they were with few |
|
Centuries between and likewise treated in place |
|
But now in mass exodus the willful |
|
Depart leaving the Noachian ways to rot |
|
The ancient fools were left to rot! |
|
A world with many fruits yet bared and many more in prime |
|
To pull apart the pulpy flesh and sip from what's inside |
|
In ecstasy the warmth within is felt by sallow hands |
|
Which mold an all to willing flesh entranced by feral eyes |
|
Journey's end in lands once verboten, |
|
By Crimson Might the precept was broken |
|
From the skies yet more descend and swoop upon the tithe |
|
For as Lords and Ladies this must surely be their prize |
|
A glint of Mistress in their blades before they find their mark |
|
And in the wake of frenzy's end the sated now depart |
|
Silhouettes on ancient walls await the coming of nightfall |
|
where shadows pale as one |
|
As one blade with many wills with ceremonies end the nature reveals |
|
The need for the piercing blows - an opiate to the night |
|
By the Scarlet Lust Within the new found world will fall |
|
In a land far, far from the source, far from the light |
|
Order decayed, decay wore away the immortal pride |
|
Greener pastures overcome by foul decay |
|
The strongest first to fall with the weakest easily swayed |
|
With a scarlet gauntlet I rule by might that shall never be tethered |
|
In the Black & Crimson Glory I exist forever |
