lyrics

Vaults of ancient ones unburdened,
From nameless tumili they rise,
Catacombs of sleeping dead,
Fortresses of old enshrined

I shall raise my burning sword,
Striking down on worthless hordes,
Constellations in the sky,
Reigning down as bastards die

Battlespells echo through the earth,
Rumbling and breaking the walls,
Of their castles and havens of refuge,
Crumbling ruins now their grave

Hearken howling of hounds like the plague,
Comes from the crypts, immesurable hatred,
Receive my scourn, the scourn of the ages,
Under wings of chaos, embrace thy moribund fate
---
Death!

"Hearken traveller, rest your weary steed, The hearthfire is warm and the night cold. Sheath thy blade, you will be safe here, for awhile."

Twilight lamentations under the nightfall,
Witness everdying and blackened flames,
Swirling black magick possessions,
Nocturnal arcane
----
Nefarious, steadfast

Upon Stygian black winds,
We ascend toward twilight-
To lunar vaults aflame

Spectres of the night embrace my weary soul,
Stygian winds hold as the chariot takes me home,
The Scythe shall reap the land, abyss shall take my hand,
And I the walking gallows shall return, to lunar vaults aflame
---
To lunar vaults aflame,
With Stygian winds

Behold the congregation,
Pummeling iron and damnation,
Frostbitten the moonlight calls,
And takes away their dead to halls

Liberating oaths were sworn,
Blood was spilt by hex adorned,
Bound by mighty word of kings,
Battle-tales of ancient yore we sing

In hallowed graves they now shall rest,
Where insects crawl and will infest,
Spoiling all but brittle bones,
Forever cast in concrete helms

Memories lie where soil creeps,
And now their bodies finally sleep,
Into earth they now descend,
Finally their spirits shall transcend
