You judge my cause But you are mistaken For I've seen the rise of this empire In a glimpse of eternity
Am I not the steady stream Of ageless cognition That guides your fates Through the sewers of time?
Am I not the fire Of ritual cleansing That purged your holy blindness For the vision? Am I not the sacred zero Of the lost beginnings Which gave birth to all mentations?
I am the crux of your salvation
The exodus of reason To the sands of insanity Unveils a reflection , caught In the waters of my inner self A menacing taint of red
The wolves of my lust Howl in futility Awaiting the serenity , sought In the grim depravation And bloody carnage of war
The fog is rising They shall see us for who we are
Arise! Arise from the slumber of this fickle peace
Tame the ebb and flow of destiny Ride to death and immortality
Ride, my soldier , ride Conquer the land in the name of thy lord
Now the deafening silence of war rings in our ears Above the din , we can hear The racing hearts of the enemy
We can hear ,we can see
The failing courage of men The fear in their eyes The bowed head deserves severance Mercy begets vengeance
The relative holds no power We search for the absolute
Awaken! Awaken the iron of the empire
Render the winds of antiquity Subservient to your warrior decree
Fight, my soldier, fight
Lay down your lives in the name of thy lord Lay down your lives for the only true cause
I can hear the final call I can see the ranks of the elders On the horizon , Calling us out They're calling us out
The end is nigh , the end is nigh Cut me open , so they don't bury me alive
