Belegurth 06:40
Despised and Cursed by the Pharoahs Tongue tied to liken the sword Those wronged follow the righteousness And all will fall Torn flesh, stillbirth Shattered bones blacken the earth Carved stone, forged in steel Suffer by point of the spear Raised to fight, born to kill Forever scorned, graves to fill Chaos reigns, Gods decide Death or life At dawn we ride Closer to the throne Wind blows, shadows strain Silent eyes weep in vain Those lost, war torn Another victim to the battle horde Closer to the throne Weaken, falter Conform and despair Furrow, prolong the inevitable ending And be one Faust! Soldier! Brother! Warrior! Cast off your fear! Once under sigil Night walks with me To the end to our death
3.
Saturnian 07:39
Prophetic vestige A phantom of lethargic will Conflated Pathogenesis To suffer Lackluster eons have passed All in flames Prolonged The Saturnian Primal, animal Colorful fluid Celestial Femoral In stasis Arise in awe For we have unveiled Bestial wrath from the ruins Writhe, intake The essence of the form is hunted Reborn as the serpent in the night Gather the stone from it all The center To breathe For we For us “He who hath brought forth the plague of mankind shall perish before the wrath of the mighty, an unyielding sword to fall upon creation” To each passing the same hollow moon Lust for me!! Destroyer! Practitioner! Feed unto serpentine desires Demanding! Unyielding! The beast For when the night crawls within Hear, feel, a presence of old Coursing through bone There, he, the ancient Awakened once more Comes alive! Carry the sword to bury the past The light smolders within And our time begins
4.
Torn from the banner of firelight Dark star burning, devouring night Come forth! Join in the blackened horde Shasurat, the child of war born Feast! Face death and witness deafening sound Traverse sacrosanct burial ground Until death wills us home we shall carry the torch Onward! To glory in ruinous force Specter! Haunting thy will Malice claim thy name! Sorceress call in the name of our mother tongue Hallowed ground sown by the blood from a thousand deaths Iron will, our ancestors course through our veins The temple awaits Offerings of flesh to herald the gods And as the weak draw from the Earth We shall bind them eternally To unmarked graves As the forgotten soldiers of war
5.
Shasurat 08:15
Beyond the darkened night Lit by a radiant winter moon Stars aligned, glistening on polished steel The blood of the ancient gods Course through my veins All but forgotten in time Upon a deceitful throne that will once again be mine Tested by might Into the throes of the gallows the broken remains Left them to die Taken from chains, shackles restrain them no more Cast to the sky! In these hardened, calloused hands There lies the key A sharpened blade Those opposed have sealed their fate Captive! Emancipator! Free thy suffering mind Iron will bends weak flesh As the axe grinds Another vessel of the damned Cursed to mere existence Never knowing the pain The glory of death A forced hand trembles in anticipation The light shines down Upon a weary soul Beckoned by fate and known by none But here, in this everlasting moment The aeons will know thy name Shasurat!! Ziggurat!! A temple built in stone
