Lyrics


1. ENÛMA ELIŠ

Dust falls on the old

Blackened cloaks of steel
blaze on the wind.
Inferno purifies
the unadorned.

Brazen hounds.
Feared were the hounds.

Their lore surpassed our creed.
The tindalos.
Flesh and machine synthesised.
Augment, endure.

Triumphant hounds.
Lords standing victorious.
Eternals.

Embrace the turning of winds.
Lodos Rising.
Embrace the turning of winds.
Tempest Rising.


2. TOWERS

March forth through ghost cities.
Enforced edification.
The river of exiles deserts the ashes.
Leaves lifeless debris.

A vista of footprints spread before us.
A pilgrimage of indentured spirits.
We cling to the promise of gifts we shall never receive.
For the unborn.

ln dust, in blood,
Colossus stones birthed.
Generations of labour ignite.
Distant ray of light.

Gold forged and gleaming.
Ascending.
We dig out mountains to the sky.
Flourishing.

From quarries of serpentine
Tinos' pillars arise.
Foundations of greater times.
Symbol of our might.

An undertaking for my kin.
We build castles to the sky.
Flourishing

Brick by stone by bold libation.
Ziggurats.
Gilted ossuary tolling.
Grand sepulcher.

Lifted earth.
Azure conquered
Enlighten, honour.

As towers reach up to the stars,
shadows lengthen into the light.
Eclipse of noble edifice.
Penumbral healing of our scars.


3. COURT OF THE MATRIARCH

We tread paths of marble,
prodigious spirals.
Through arches we glimpse true glory

The city, radiant, rivals Suraya.
Holy.

Etemenae.
Outshine the starlight.
We built true glory.

In plates of ivory and byzantine
await celestial paladins.
A divine court.
The Gatekeeper presides.

We best of kind.
Ezos Liniari.
We best of kind.
Ezos Transcendere.

The Matriarch.
The Alpha.
The Architect of dawn eternal.

Our worth affirmed
We earned our thrones amongst gods
Freed from our mortal shells
We'll lead our kind to the gates of Aenka

Ezos Eyota Valere Ezos


4. WEIGHING OF THE HEART

Yumathir assidēre
Yumatatene limina
Anubi eros sublima
Osiri eros sublima
Sublima Yumathir
Eahtatene, Ammit, Eahtatene

Eyota ascendere
Maikoho ascendere
Eyota ascendere
Maikoho ascendere


5. OMEGA SEVERER

Countless threads enfold before me
One thousand strands of gold
I soar to new planes
Stunning singularity

A righteous cessation

I am nameless yet others name me.
An Epithet to fathom.
I live on the wind
Grandeur I no longer need

Once Sigma, severed
Now Omega, deserved
A mortal state, obsolete
New paradigm, divine

Yumathir Assidēre Limina Anubi
Anubi eros sublime
Eahtatene. Ammit. Eahtatene.
Maikoho trascendere
Eyota transcendere

With vacant eyes
And empty shells
They hold their spears
With no will to yield

As time kneeled down

Our myth of merit
And grandeur for us all
The myth of lies
An obscured reality
The sacrifice of the Shudra
Omega severed


6. ADRÆDEN

(Instrumental)


7. SI-XIV

Incessant passing of seasons.
Harvest grown stale.
Oligarchs transform Harudo.
Oligarchs mercy rurns pale.

Impaired cornucopia,
oathless and ignored.

Virtual illusion,
synthetic elation.

Wretched cabled and sure,
divine myths endure.

In soothing dreams of silk,
electrically induced joy.
Fragile euphoria my shelter.
Plebeian addiction,
a shallow asylum.

Worthless haven of chaos; sanctified.
Dimensions unfold;
in layered daze.
My mind of shards; labyrinthine.
Cybernetic martyr.
Collective martyr.


8. MLECCHA

Awake to be awoken.
A new dream outwidth dreams.
The substantial actuality;
meaning and purpose,
newly found humanity.

Remove oneself
from synthetic light,
from catacombs of
heart and mind.
Into forested freedom,
Meaning and purpose,
clean air and clarity,

Awake.
Sheltered.
Breathe.

Pivotal connection
to our own future;
Their mirages we no longer pursue.
No birthright to uphold.
No sovereignty to chase.

Victims of their own egos
and an unquenched thirst to rise.
Andromeda captured their glare,
but the stars they won’t possess.
As ambitions fall from grace
the lands no longer sustain.
Illusions unshrouded.
Depleted and strained.

As the Dakhmas roar,
stranded, we face our fate.
On vanity they rise.
Towards their delusive vision.


9. ASPHODEL

Behold my child,
the braken fields,
the land that mourns for trees.

Become my dear,
the first and last,
the guardian of vows.

Listen my child,
and face the west,
attend the storms arrival.

Remember dear,
the oaths we took,
and tell your child the same.
Remember dear,
the oaths we took,
and tell your child the same.


10. SATUYA

Black dust proclaims cyclonic waves.
Lodos screaming.
Vales of arcus advance.
Reclaimed weeds torn from dead roots

Storms speak decrees.
Wreck. create.
Lords speak decrees.
Visions whole.

Satuya exudes Eletva
