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
