black skies are overcast something darker approaches me over the knoll feet press firmly making their way, gnashing their teeth i stand before you scarred and ready to take on the coming day against my chest i bear the crest loyalty runs red in these veins heed the crack in the sky - for its the harbinger of my name read the folds in the water - the cresting tide will overtake your shore muscles sore and wanting more revenge is what keeps us alive doing wrong against those who've wronged embed by the evil that I imbibe i stand above it beaten and bloody the beast lay at my feet with my soul i've paid toll with this blood letting I am free heed the crack in the sky - for its the harbinger of my name read the folds in the water - the cresting tide will overtake your shore my demons are slowly waking my lich has arrived my blade is profusely bleeding your overthrow is nigh muscles sore and wanting more revenge is what keeps us alive doing wrong against those who've wronged embed by the evil that I imbibe i stand above it beaten and bloody the beast lay at my feet with my soul i've paid toll with this blood letting I am free heed the crack in the sky - for its the harbinger of my name read the folds in the water - your overthrow is nigh

tribute or death - they're all thats left for you capitulate or bend your knee peons and princes; all pay the price subjugated harmony blood and souls by the lady's hands her dark will shall be done her savage horde will rape the land harvesting one by one bones are cast for you its written in the stars the queen of steel has run you through her spoils of war lay screaming in the light of the crescent moon the queen of steel has mastered you in the gloaming she stands astride the land dark mistress in all she surveys for blood and empire lust, love and malice upon these things her bones are made blood and soul by the lady's hands her dark will shall be done her savage horde will rape the land harvesting one by one bones are cast for you its written in the stars the queen of steel has run you through her spoils of war lay screaming in the light of the crescent moon the queen of steel has mastered you

Across the wastes the sun purifies Thoughts hone in on the prize The astral wasteland - dune shaped princes Moan my name and writhe Blisters on my tongue aid me I chew through the pain to find the words Pharaohs of before stand watch as I Defile the world of waking man A man of empty face gazes I force the scars to bleed again A crone of many children cackles I embrace this madness Egyptian sky is in my head Leading my hand its marks Guttural songs and harmonies praise From the belly of the cat we embark Ocean roads paved with fear and lust Embellishments of my human skin I fall through cracks, breaking the bond The wandering madness embraces me again A man of empty face gazes I force the scars to bleed again A crone of many children cackles I embrace this madness All pray to me - a transient god to bleed for All beckon me who seek to steal away my madness
