Dead Calm Rise
Amidst dysmal storms rises a dead calm <br/> I find myself in quiet contemplation and awe <br/> A revenant appears a courier from the rings down below <br/> He chuckles, then he bows <br/> <br/> "I will tell you a tale now sojourner <br/> of your forefather's wretched sin <br/> To bask in the glory of our soverign, <br/> he bartered with your own kin <br/> <br/> He's a general commanding our legions now <br/> Awaiting the seed in his lineage to sprout <br/> Greetings, this is you <br/> <br/> I sense a perfidy once again now immortal <br/> , as we both know you don't belong <br/> The Somber Nation were never meant as a stepping stone for dead souls <br/> <br/> Benighted on the surface you dwell <br/> Invite me to enlighten your path, <br/> with the stars <br/> Which brings me to your death! <br/> <br/> Is this your call sojourner? <br/> To rove this gloom, as salvager of humans to help them anew? <br/> Their sorrow cause will consume you and derail your call <br/> You're led astray, you're bound to sense this too! <br/> <br/> You roamed into a dim world and you're lost to them all, into a system where you're out of control <br/> Nature self requires rules to abide, you overstepped them once but now you can't hide <br/> You won't fit in, dead seething, as you'll be stuck here half alive in this tomb <br/> I offer your soul contingency to rebirth... Turn yourself to me! <br/> As king... to Clench the Feet of Fools!" <br/> <br/> "So revenant, you come to tell me, my life is all about to reign or devour? <br/> By choosing death my soul might thrive, and the nether regions opens up wide? <br/> To leave a seat for me to rule as your king, to rule the demon that once hauled my soul in? <br/> Beside my forefather who started it all? <br/> If that's what it takes then welcome me in my sleep... to die..."

Lying bare on an altar of stone, gazing out to behold <br/> A sanctum covered in regalia and gowns, black lillies, candles and crowns <br/> Before me enters a fiendish form, his presence infuses awe <br/> His shade bears a reminiscent way, and the chills go down my spine <br/> <br/> So many years since I departed my roots to stop residing in doom <br/> and seek the vengeance for my feeble kin just to unearth my part in it too <br/> It has braced my mortal powers, brought me an angel's wit <br/> empowered by the council of Deadlands they summoned me to hell <br/> <br/> I'm draped in my unhallowed gown to embark in this unhallowed land <br/> This fiend is slowly examining me <br/> "The angelic powers that embrace your aura, a prophet were you for them all" <br/> He turns and indicates for me to pursue <br/> <br/> As I shadow this astonishing creature my thoughts fumble in gloom <br/> whereas my memories fail to emit they could split my heart in two <br/> but I've been stripped of weak compassion. I've got no hold of time <br/> How long have I been here, draped in this gown? With my reincarnated soul... <br/> <br/> My past, all gone, before me lies my home <br/> <br/> As I adapt to my surroundings I hear, "Greetings my heir, anew!"<br/> As he turns I see a face and a brute that my memory has failed to undo <br/> !! <br/> Severely scarred from my belongings, from when he downed my soul... <br/> "You, scion, descending my blood, about time the truth is told..." <br/> <br/> "I bartered with darkness, and I betrayed our kin <br/> Swore an oath for your leading command of our reign <br/> For thousand years and thousand more we've longed for you my progeny <br/> To crown you as emperor, as sovereign, as king <br/> !" <br/> <br/> Why? I'm sworn to oust all light? What in the nine hells have I now become? <br/> I am the archangel brought from the light, to carry the command out, I'm a demon, a devil, a fiend...
