Praise the Archaic Lights Embrace

For a king has passed away, the ruler of a great dynasty. Dig the pit and consecrate the ground with the sacrifice of nine armed guards found. Frame the chamber out with wooden walls with the slaves of royalty who are called. For splendor and savagery this is done but the funeral has only begun. Dogs Interred at the guards side to watch the tomb out of the light. The spirits of evil will not be left to grim as the coffin is now carried in. Grave is the food supply left with the king so he will not starve in his final state of being. The end of the burial is now drawing near and the covenant now becomes clear. For a king must forever have his wealth, great riches of bronze are placed upon his shelf. While ruling his land he was very fond of Jade. Within his final resting place this is now laid. Looking up at the slopes leading round the prisoners of war are being led down. For these sixty souls will surely start to cringe as the Bloodletting now begins. Offerings of jade and blood feel the wrath as red runs. Offerings of jade and blood, now the time has come. Offerings of jade and blood, feel the wrath as red runs. Down on their knees begging for mercy, their cries are empty pleas. Quickly the blade falls, no more endless calls under the cruel laws. Heads drop to the floor, followed by more and more the trench is filled in gore. Watch the thrall supply deplete, their lives are now obsolete, ceremony is complete. For a king has passed away, the ruler of a great dynasty. Dig the pit and consecrate the ground with the sacrifice of nine armed guards found. Frame the chamber out with wooden walls with the slaves of royalty who are called. For splendor and savegry this is done but the funeral has only begun.

As the night sky calls my soul asking me to fly forever free, Seeing beauty in gracious darkness for all of eternity. Serenade my inner self, release the walls that in turn bind me, waiting in line to look upon a cauldron for something I may never see. Can you hear the silence, As it echoes. From left to right, through corridors. My thought are cleansed, No impurities. The assay is passed, Know not failure. Seek the future for the knowledge. Seek the knowledge for the future. Find the past for the truth. Find the truth in the past. Trade a sect of your life for the piece of the puzzle you wish to find. Like the Sphinx's great riddle a part of the superior master's rhyme. Take the hand of the mighty priest to lead and guide me on my quest. Stare into a deep black ring, a gaze into everdark. As the night sky calls my soul asking me to fly forever free, Seeing beauty in gracious darkness for all of eternity. Serenade my inner self release the walls that in turn bind me, Waiting in line to look upon a cauldron for something I may never see

The legend at hand is one of old and spoken by men of one hundred fold The end reveals riches and gold, cast in darkness, underneath the earth it lies Hear the victims ghastly cries as they slowly lose their lives, minds bewildered Not a shed of hope in sight, no brightness to be guided by Except the flicker of a light, by the flame, one with a heart so bold, Strength and might which cannot be told enters the maze of caverns below, penitent Enter he does against all consciousness, shadows eyes watching from corners, cracks and crevices Mysterious is the puzzle as he encounters the toils, greed guides him on Going untouched through tricks and traps, pursuing wealth Magical are the walls that stand so high, mythical are the tales that one survived Enter and those to shall find, their lives will soon be left behind Come forth step into the light Labyrinth twists and turns of fright, recognize you must lose to win Prepare to once again begin Getting on to the final stage of this journey, in silence scheming with the assets he yet has Blinding out of nowhere shines a gleam so bright, glorious sight, his time arrives Magical are the walls that stand so high, mythical are the tales that one survived Enter and those too shall find, their lives will soon be left behind Come forth step into the light Labyrinth twists and turns of fright, recognize you must lose to win Prepare to once again begin At one with the means he so greatly pursued. Noticing not the wall that shuts behind him now Sadly he must die with what he so aspired to

This dominion has been ruled too long by those known as Hyksos And I Komose prince of Thebes vow to destroy to the utmost Thus my armies of upper Egypt shall sail upon the great Nile For all the years of oppression and cruelty their souls soon shall fly Fly, to Heaven's skies Fly, spirits rise With my legions before me like a fiery flame in the night A Hyksos vessel commands a force and confront us by the break of light Upon them like a hawk I close in, Lions feasting on their prey We continue to destroy on throughout until midday Take slaves for our use, years of abuse War goes on for weeks Their armies are becoming bleak There is no where to turn Their ships we shall burn Suddenly I feel, a piercing makes me shrill An arrow through my heart My inner soul shall part Part Ahmose successes me Make their end complete Dynasty, aggressive dynasty They made a dynasty Aggressive dynasty

Thus the story is told of the war of the rings, Of the dark lord and the orcs and the foulest of beings, Of the plague and the darkness that spread like a fire, Of the eagles in the sky which soar so much higher, Of the wizards and the dwarfs and the mightiest of all men, Of the halfling and the task which carried all the burden, Of the kings and the queens and the forest filled with elves, Thus it is told on the greatest of all tales Beware the black hand reaching from above The armies of evil stretching like an ocean Wolves and men engulfed in a blood bath The armies of the virtuous will spread their wrath Majority of the war rests on he who carries the ring Into the mouth of the malefic king If the one is cast into the eternal fire The good will likely triumph and the world will again be brighter Fiercely fighting, raging, dying, thousands slain, cast down not in vain Day after day, night by night, mighty catastrophe, middle earth has ever seen Thus the story is told of the war of the rings, Of the dark lord and the orcs and the foulest of beings, Of the plague and the darkness that spread like a fire, Of the eagles in the sky which soar so much higher, Of the wizards and the dwarfs and the mightiest of all men, Of the halfling and the task which carried all the burden, Of the kings and the queens and the forest filled with elves, Thus it is told on the greatest of all tales.

Inside me anger builds like a blaze from below Mindlessness causing this that is out of control Inferior are the thoughts and ideas which you think For the light at the end of your tunnel is too late Do not taint the ground in which I walk on Do not defile, the air in which I intake For you and your cortege are disillusioned Disciples of this dreadful epidemic The intellectual has no meaning, as I lay silently screaming for those of simplicity to awake and reach for the edge that I take Looking down up from this tower, I watch those shake and cower The time shall come and none too soon, when all the frail shall meet their doom Let the weak play with weak, let the skilled be by skilled Let the sounds that are clear soak in and be filled, In the heads and the hearts of the ones that are true Like the moon in the sky it will surely shine through Do not taint the ground in which I walk on Do not defile, the air in which I intake For you and your cortege are disillusioned Disciples of this dreadful epidemic

Fell the wind blow across the moon lit sky Sense it coming with from deep inside Never in the deepest darkest dreams you dread, Did you think that this would come but it has Listen, hear us call with the gusts when it least expected Blasts of the snare fall like hail across the horizon Pulling at the core crafted by hands of lords Violence filled with fury lightning strikes now it has arrived, As it drives This is the storm, the storm that will rip your souls apart This is the storm, feel it pound within your heart This is the storm, The storm that will steal the breath from you This is the storm, Leaves you gasping and cuts right through The wretched voices that you hear slowly begin to take you in The wretched voices that concur there will be no equal ever again low end rumble shakes the ground making a volcanic sound If there were lava it wouldn't pour But beat you down like you were a whore Embraced without arms when all is done thus we return again, Like a wave drowning you in a sea of black that Leaves not a thing, not a trace, of the power that has passed, Memories all that's left, no doubt you will meet it again And again This is the storm, the storm that will rip your souls apart This is the storm, feel it pound within your heart This is the storm, The storm that will steal the breath from you This is the storm, Leaves you gasping and cuts right through All the silence has been broken and the eye has passed on by The plurality has spoken even though one has not died Keep an eye cast high above the moon and stars and weary nights For when its least expected, that's when the storm arrives
