1. PYROMANCER

Flesh torn, bled, and slashed
The hourglass in ash
Vulcans curse invoked
Fortune veiled in burning smoke

Flames choke, the vessel screams
Preaching evil prophecy
Dark omens; Empyromancy

Pyromancer
Blaze-coiled fate
Pyromancer
Surrender to the Pyromantic Rites
Empyromancy

Prophecies in red
Forbidden wisdoms dance
Casts demonic silhouettes
Fall into its trance


2. A RIPPING STRIKE

Revolt! Sons of hardship
For the duke will bleed you dry
Exhausted resources
Now bury your starved dead

Kill the royal scum!

Revolt! Ostrobothnia!
For the hunger will cut you down
Failing harvests
Now bury your starved dead

Ripping Strike

Oppression now is cast aside
Silent slaves no longer hide
Your death is near, loyalist rats
For you will deliver your final toll

Stand down, Lavastia!
For the duke has bled you dry
Only regrets
Ironlake shall feed on our flesh


3. BLACK FLAME DIVINATION

Watch the flame flicker
Black fire burn
Invoke the emergence
Of the blazing apocalypse

A voice in the darkness
The flame calls to those beyond
Recieve the black omen
Summoner of chasmic prophecy

Scatter the ashes
Servants of divination we are become
Shadows hide primeval secrets
Faces emerge in smoke

Black Flame Divination


4. THE TRUDGE

Tempters keys be mine to claim
Trudging on, every limb now lame
In iron, we are marching to die

Silent pipes, no anthems peal
Minds transfixed to our undying zeal
In iron, we are marching to die

So the trudge goes on
Deafened by the clamour of the gods
So the trudge goes on
Now to face the hammer of the odds

The blinding light strips us of will
Reverence; for this we will kill
In Iron, we are ardent to die

Lifted is the hammer of the odds
Deafend by the clamour of the gods
Comprehend the reverberation of the words
Revert! Revert! Revert!

We are the lust of tyrants
The chilling breeze in the bitter night
Slayers of the queen of peace
Lord of fire set us alight!

We are the guiding light
It burns it burns our eyes
Blinded in noctambulist stride
Lord of fire set us alight!


5. DASHED TO DEATH

Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword
Their little children will be dashed to death in front of their eyes

Dashed to Death

Their homes will be sacked
And their wives raped by attacking hordes
For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon

Then I heard the Lord say to the other men:
"Follow him through the city and kill
Everyone whose head is not marked,
Show no mercy; have no pity!"

Go! Kill them all old and young
For this is the will of your God
Defile the temple!
Fill its courtyards with bodies of those you kill


6. MAMMON EST

Mammon est...
Nomen daemonis
Confusio hominis
Radix malorum
Mos maiorum
Pater noster
Ora pro nobis

Fiat Nox
Fiat Tenebrae
Fiat Umbrae
Fiat Irae

"Cursed Mammon be!
When he with treasures
To restless action spurs our fate!
Cursed when for soft, indulgent leisures
Be lays for us the bolsters straight."

Suckle the teats of Mammon


7. HUNGER

Skeletal hands reach for the blinding sun
Scavengers circle
In this bloodied sandpit you're the master of none

Betrayers, agnostics are burnt at the stake
Murder they celebrate

Hunger...
For splendour, unspoken glory
For infamy, power over will
Voracious, unconquerable
Drives us to kill

Rise from your crypt
Hailing not life but death
Drowned in bloodlust
Vision turned red
Perish, choke on the filth of the Styx
Expire, burn on the crucifix

Feast on their fear
Thrive on their terror
Prosper as you murder
Blossom in their wake


8. TOTTERING CITIES OF MEN

Titanic constructs of hubris
Monstrous fortifications
The tautened noose leads the architect
On the final tarantella

Tottering cities of men painted in black congealed blood

His guilt thus conquered
The creation endures yet
Multitudes drown in the bleeding streets
Gutters overflow with depravity
Waste runs rampant, metropolis covered in mud
Oh tottering cities of men, painted in black putrid blood

Vanish! Like the lightning's gleam
Like a baleful star, an empty dream

Vanish! Like words to dust
Like smoke from Aetna, A lovers lust

The seven plagues of the seven gates
Let the bowls be broken

Rampant vermin, cities are burning
Let them grind to dust...

Blinding Light drives us onwards
Into the night, Into death

Vanish! Like hope through fear
Like wind-blown flame, like trembling prey

Vanish! Like a trifiling sigh
Like dew at morn, A guilty thing

Vanished! Like a lighting strike
