1. THE LAST OF KIN

Mark the hour
For it bears the end and shape of things to come
Leashed twinborn hearts, flesh and blood
Who will raise the blaide to set them apart ?

Traitor !
Life to take, bond batrayed
Traitor !
Mere flesh and blood, flesh and blood

Shorn disdain
Tust worn in vain
Let one thing be shed
That ever did us chain

Shrive me not
Repentance long stoked for the lack of hope
Absolve me not, deeds worthy of god
What will fathom the law, the righteous façade ?

Bovine mortal line
Prey to kith malign
As worth is the smoke
Fire is the will of mine


2. FEAR AND FAY

Our hollow bones, mere flutes to the wind
Once learnt, all roads lead to ruin
Pathways they become overgrown
We all once bow to the same tone

Shreds of will and shreds of faith
Devoured by rust are blade and plate
The night's hunger for dying light
Draws to shadows to remains of life

Fading the echo of eight hooves' gait
Earth stay deaf to every new tale
In birth we are draped in death's gray veil
Forced to follow the shadowed trail

Return to earth to dream and decay
Forget this march of fear and fey
For soon your strength will fail and break
Soon your life's weak flame shall fade


3. ONE OF LOST

One of us, one of the lost, skies did condone
Soul renowned, blaze spendor unbound
Shed sun on atoned, wield rays profound
For us, for the lost, reach beneath hallow ground

Forsaken, far reaching
Shades you cast forth
Awaken, had dawn undone
What nights did wrought

Gallows wreath, barrow leaves, laid at broken feet
Lead us, Give us path, bourne oblivion heeds
Shadows claim, behind the flames, ripe rewards reaped
For us, for lost, forever shall recede

You were, you are, one of us
And shall be, for eternity
One of the lost


4. SHUNNED WANDERER

Cold like pyres burn
And the blight upon this land
The exiled one shall return
A hundred dry wombs in his hand

Shunned wanderer
Usher the rain, let it storm
Pale harbinger
Bring the fall

So the last guest arrives
Queen and whore shall share decay
No heart alive
Partake in rank harvest regale


5. CURSE THE ONE

Frail morning light
Creeps the barren land
Fears kept clandestine,
Chained in unsound mind

Cast in fire, stained with hate
Deep has rooted the lack of faith
Glowing the ashes, blinding the smoke
Tracks lead backwards and dispersed is hope

Runes carved on flesh
Yet unknown within
What bloomed turned rotten
... a path best forgotten

Dreams deranged they fell a torn
In scorched heart the wisdom was born
Cursed the one with parting ways,
Cursed the one who waits and stays

Cursed the one


6. THE WEEPER'S WAY

Sway, boughs sway
Contortion of pinion arms never still
Sway nightsky away
Flesh draped on scars and crippled will
Rasp of rusty brace and rotting grins

Mouths like wells
Rise bottomless blame
Retch blood and shame
Throats scoured from his name
Wear her skin
And sink, willing to drink
Black skim,
From a breast of virgin

Dance the weepers way
Dance, drowning white branch
Shriveling roots, roots slaver wades
Dance, in gangrene trance
Pursued past your days

Tread weepers way
That only dead could sail


7. BASTION

Unproven ground,
Yet old is the woe between us
Cast in bone,
Is this sum af hatred crossed ?

Thus,
You pile them high, your sired sins
And they ank a legion
Wretched whores you shrove
To the very heavens
Arched red rimmed above

Ramparts raised
As mask held before the fate
Argent draped,
Yet hound they bay forsaken gate

Thus,
Braced walls of lie, your vesper skins
Fear holds swords leaden
Come the dark, horizons low
From the very heavens
Ash to fall like snow

None stands with you
None falls with you
None ...

Alone you will stand
Alone you will fall
Alone ...
