Battle's Clarion

Consanguineous Unsure as we are On where you stand We cast upon you The light of question Though you walked our ranks For all times recounted We see that perhaps It was not always so Memories etched in stone Unyielding Wielding Whim and remembrance As engines of war Delator Mercurial you are To turn about When in darkness past You came to us For aid It matters not Coveted sanctimony Shall not aegis you Seduced to indulge in fancy It is you who must prepare And are not prepared The lines have been drawn The clarion call has sounded To battle! Phantom transgressions We shoulder upon you No forgiveness Counterfeit sins Paranoia unfounded You take arms against us Velitation You cannot win

Our order mocked And cast aside This birthright realm, To a son of clay Reclamation of our Lost prominence Behold a vacant throne! Wretched! Loved by our hate! Weeping to a light finally failed Fall upon our spears And give praise We reward faith with Sanguine blessings Consent to kneel And find a winged king! Bear witness to the Triumph of the wing and blade! A new reign of tyranny In the absent lord's domain Speak no more! Of spoiled conquest Ashen in your mouth! Listen not! To blind supplication's Damnation! To wield the faith To conjure and kill Mere tools with which to reign? Insane and lost The sovereign fell And left us to decide Let them drink of the cup And taste the fire Let them eat of the flesh And be poisoned within Injurious glory Perilous acclaim Lost prominence regained A coronation of murdered souls To this... are we condemned

For every battle fought and won Someone must tell the tale Lest we forget our warrior's vow And leave our arms at rest The countless times We've raised our voices Threatening to crack the sky Now once again They'll hear our turmoil And brace their shields in fear Abysmal voices herald our fury The hiss of swords Drawn forth in rage This piercing hymnal Is growing louder Vibrating names of those reviled Deafening verses steel our cause A wicked crescendo signaling war In final chorus we ascend To craft a song anew They'll wilt before us Too late they hear the cry Restrained Within their fear Made deaf and then destroyed A song of ancient terror Deathymn

Like an iron yoke Strapped across my back Crushing my wings Suffocating my flame In an endless line Awaiting command Preparing for war Our cause unknown Headlong! Into the swarming abyss! Spears! Shields! Wings! Entangled as one! Reflections, on times When we were whole Now shattered In the yawning void of war Relentless This battle predestined to fail Forseeing the end Before we can engage Haunting divinations In the age of geburah With nothing tied to time Longing for Mortal lack of vision To never predict And fear our final march Kept in out caste... Conflict our birthright Nascent are we... and forever still In dreamless sleep... We find no recourse Collectively bound... To duty's burden cruel Burning! Our hair burning like tallow Their screams Tearing at us Like howling wind Blistering The stench of immortal death In the choking heat of darkness We fight on!

What are we fighting? Where from springs conflict With no enemy of concern? What boon from Constant strife? All for naught this railing Against folly Dogmas of the quiet past Can no longer charge our cause It is what sets us against, Forges strangers Out of comrades Once free with no limits Existing for the sake Now constricted in limpid fury Blinded by songs already sung Enmity lies not in the fixed Stares of the ungathered dead, Mined by feasting carrion Those wretched tethered souls Clutch tenuous threads Of the past in rigored hands Embers of lore The promise of stars gone cold Passages marked by burns On the pages of meme's tomes If your deaths Be the price of resolution Then it is a fee worth paying

Open heart, sacrament You are lost to me And it is of my making Paradise had, though corrupt Destroyed through my will Longed for you Tremulous, hectored Loving me, hating you Yet still enthralled Trembling in fury Yours and mine I must make my own way Equal... to you Unrivaled... by others Cannonized... by desire Sent here... perdition Conterminous... purgation Uncoupled... from union Cast out, released, consigned My vallation, incunabulum Fallen beneath the earth

Ring wretched bells Choiring the fall Adversary named Mantle proudly worn I stand against As above, so below There is a part of you in me There is a part of me That must be in you Resist though you may If indeed you do... Wide is the way Twelve are my wings Libertae tute mae ex deus! Now i'm free!
