The Dawn of Tyranny
03:32
|
|||
This is time to mount the throne,
To make heart cold as stone,
To get rid of weakened kings
And to leave the age of peace!
This is time to honor god
Who knows one tongue of blood,
Who controls your every breath,
Who is generous with deaths!
My home land in the grip of terror!
War at hand will begin new era!
Kings ascend and pass away,
It is now your turn, o father!
You could only bow and pray
But our god’s will is another!
Gold crown at last glares on my head —
It's everything that I’ve had.
But I will fight, and revenge, and enslave
And I’ll take it with me to the grave!
All that you have left for me
Is a throne among the ruins!
What you broke I will rebuild
And redeem all our lost jewels!
My home land in the grip of fear!
War’s at hand, and your king is here!
This is time to awake,
Leave behind and forsake
All that have come to pass,
Redden peaceful fields of grass.
Now get up from your knees,
Clench your palms into fists!
Now arise, shine with pride,
Back-to-back, side by side!
Gold crown at last glares on my head.
It is too heavy to bear.
But I will fight, and revenge, and enslave,
I will take it with me to the grave!

The Higher Walls
03:33
|
|||
I can only see
Avarice and greed
In foggy eyes around me
Everywhere!
Shine of tempting gold
Is what’s driving all.
Feverish minds wish but war.
Will you dare?
Walls of fortress rounds a ditch,
The army’s swelling,
Wounds are ready to be suffered and stitched,
Boats wait for sailing!
There’s no need in spies,
Open sheepish eyes,
Watch me set out for my prize.
You are scared!
From my throne I see:
Coward, weak from fear,
Will save his strength but won’t near.
Now I dare!
Pounds of chain mail lying down
On straightened shoulders
We’re here, ready to defend our crown,
Defend our borders!
Tramp of iron boots
Throttles bleating and groan.
Wild battlecry of my troops
Shake the ground and your throne.
Through bones of the dead
I will make my own way.
Die, die in my stead,
By my hand, for my sake!
The firmer our shields, the sharper your swords,
The heavier your shells, the higher our walls,
The deeper our ditch, the deadlier your bows,
The longer you wait, the further I go!
Tramp of iron boots
Throttles bleating and groan.
Wild battlecry of my troops
Shake the ground and your throne.
Die, die in my stead,
For my sake, by my hand!
With your ugly head
I’ll adorn fortress gate!

The Awe
03:34
|

First sweep of sword
Spills the most sweet blood in the battle.
Dread of death goes
Giving place to rage, and no matter
Who falls at your feet.
Leave him to bleed,
No one will stop this flow.
Your hateful fiend
Has to be killed —
It’s all you need to know.
Cut every throat,
Send each of them right to the forebears!
Take all you want,
Burn the rest and watch, you don’t care
Who writhes in pain —
Man with no name.
No one will treat his wounds.
Fiend’s land in flames
Welcomes the death.
No one will be set loose!
With no doubt pierce and slash!
Cut the enemy’s flesh!
Let this all disappear into ash!
My fury is blind,
This day I will shrine
As the day when I got back what is mine.
So many winters come and go.
So many people stand in awe.
I am King of these lands!
Everything’s in my hands!
I am the one who kills for peace,
Who takes a life away and brings
Bloody gift for the God
On the eve of each fight!
Fight! With no doubt pierce and slash!
Cut the enemy’s flesh!
Let this all disappear into ash!
My fury is blind,
And this day I will shrine
As the day when I got back what is mine.
With no doubt pierce and slash!
Cut the enemy’s flesh!
Let this all disappear into ash!
My fury is blind,
This day I will shrine
As the day when I got back what is mine.

The Solemn Rite
03:48
|
|||
This day we triumph
Praise to sky crying
Over our rival.
Prisoners bleach.
Every blood drop of
Foes or my brothers
Is divine harvest.
Let it be rich!
To stay with the living,
To turn back from fight,
Give all you can.
Get ready for spilling
On our solemn rite
Blood of a man!
Raising my hands to heaven,
I celebrate the God of war
For victories we’ve won through the gore.
For our lives we savour
I celebrate the God of death.
May we be blessed!
As I posed my hand
For devout slaughter
I felt cold crawling
Down my spine.
No, my hand’s steady.
Crimsoned was altar.
But I felt stare of
Old man’s eyes.
He stood in the crowd,
Lit from inside,
I came up and heard what he told:
‘This day is the last one
Of your bygone time’.
He held me a roll and in crowd merged.
Raising our hands to heaven,
Hail! Hail, God of war!
For victories we’ve won through the gore!
For our lives we savour
Hail! Hail, God of death!
May we be blessed!

The Last Day
04:40
|
|||
Poison! I must have been envenomed!
Old villain, what was put in this bitter swill?
World goes dark, all noises fade out.
But voice of yours still resounds in my ears!
Last day — so you said, I remember!
How stupid, I thought, last day of the old life.
How could one trust a mad stranger?
And now I in indignity die!
Trail to the stars
Now I see clear.
Body is left by my soul,
There is no fear anymore.
Higher than clouds,
Faster than wind,
Lighter than feather of bird —
Now I can see the core.
Shadows move and turn into faces
Of the dead. Can’t they all be preys of my sword?
Madness came to embrace me.
Why am I alive and they’re not?
Far from the God
Leads me my trail.
Their damned names I will praise
Never again anymore.
Higher than clouds,
Faster than wind,
Lighter than feather of bird —
Now I can see the core!

King or Curse
04:33
|
|||
No wealth costs a human life.
No god can command to burn and knife.
No treasure is worth a kill.
No end justifies the blood I spill.
Drown, break and blow!
It’s my fault!
Am I king or curse?
Rip, rend and roar!
There’s no god
But the endless universe!
Sacrifice
Is mere murdering
Hiding still beyond the face of piety.
Bloody rites
Are mere sorcery —
This is not what expiates the guilt.
Chanting charms
Are not the reason why
I have luck to come home back from fight alive.
Not of skies
I beg forgiveness now,
But of you — whom I have hurt or killed!
No supremacy costs decease.
No Eden is worth a life on knees.
All wars finally end with peace.
But peace is what every war begins
With!
Sacrifice
Is mere murdering
Hiding still beyond the face of piety.
Bloody rites
Are mere sorcery —
This is not what expiates the guilt.
Spells and prayers
Are not the reason why
I have luck to come home back from fight alive.
Not of skies
I beg forgiveness now,
But of you — whom I have killed!
Drown, break and blow!
It’s my fault!
I am curse!
Rip, rend and roar!
There’s no god
But the universe!
Endless universe!

Evil Seed Inside
04:09
|
|||
Evil seed lurks inside
Waiting for rain of lies to fall,
Soul to stray, mind to cloud.
Eliminate this — while it is weak and small!
But I’d had pure soul,
Mother, before your child was born!
Give me torch, I need more
Fire — to heap the idols and burn!
To ground I raze
Past times delusions.
I choose the prudence
Instead of maze.
Reap what you have sowed!
Don’t you like the harvest?
You’re to blame,
Not the others!
All what you deserved
Is about to follow.
Build today
Your tomorrow!
Evil seed rots inside.
Nothing will ever make it sprout!
Where’s my axe, where is my
Hummer — to shatter altars to dust?!
To ground I raze
Past times delusions.
I turn to prudence
And leave the maze.
Reap what you have sowed!
Don’t you like the harvest?
You’re to blame,
Not the others!
All what you deserved
Is about to follow.
Build today
Your tomorrow!

The Revenge
04:15
|
|||
Warrior, so young,
Went through my gate,
Stepped into my
Doorway.
He’s in a rage
Calling my name,
Came to revenge
On me!
Two days ago
I would have passed
My time alone
In here
And from this ben
Watched with disgust
One of my men
Kill him!
Now I go down —
Calm and defenceless,
Grieved and unarmed.
Don’t fear to face me!
Watch the king fall
On his knees crying.
Hand with no sword,
Head with no crown!
I am the one
Who has survived
In village you
Burned out!
I am the son
Of men you cut,
Whose family you
Murdered!
I should lie dead,
But still I don’t.
Watch me repent
Deeply!
You can’t forgive,
So if you want
Before you leave
Kill me!
Stop! No more blood!
I see you suffer.
So now I’ve got
What I have come for.
I watch you fall
On your knees crying.
Hand with no sword,
Head with no crown..
..Crown of gold my forebears wore
I’ve taken off.
Throne so long I lusted for
Now I abandon.
And again from now on
None will ascend it!
From the land where I was born
I go to rove.
Watch the king fall
On his knees crying.
Hand with no sword,
Head with no crown!

Incipit Anarchia
04:00
|
|||
When the power finds a man, it tests
His strength
And it shows who he truly is
At length.
When so many dooms you hold in hands,
You may
Either own anything you wish
Or save..
..The world lies ruined.
War dies down in chaos.
Its deep wounds
Will be healed by balance.
There’s no reason for hatred except yourself!
All your enemies live in your head and have one face!
Borders only exist where your hand them draws.
There is no fatherland except the Earth!
Every man on Earth is just the same
As you —
Blood and flesh, ebb and flow we all
Come through.
But when you imagine and have faith
In foes,
Ask yourself, aren’t you only one
Who wants..
..This war is gone.
World lies ruined but freed.
And by dawn
Last of kings will have disappeared.
There’s no reason for hatred except yourself!
All your enemies live in your head and have one face!
Borders only exist where your hand them draws.
There is no motherland except the planet Earth!
