Of Stone and Tears Songtext
von Kull

′Neath Citadel's shadow we stand!
Now we shall see a last reverie
Blood′s revelry in the tumult of packed flesh
Here we attest – behold the death
Of those cloaked in the robes of the Dark-

Ness - it's coming!
The Pool
Is as blood:
Each ripple a
Tide that will wash away
This fool upstart
With such presumption
Release the bonds
And devour the light of the day!


Rise up
Lock shields
And advance!
Embrace the pain
Bellum Dea reigns
Glimpsed grinning with bloodlight in her eyes
Let this sacrifice
Be of their lives
Bathed in their blood I shall
Reclaim what's mine!

Go
Push onwards
Though in mud sinking
The light of their fires
The dead illumine.

Advance

Hark
The whisper
Doubt
Assaults me
This
War not mine
The Serpent wakes within

Mired in ignorance they have no concept of
For they have not yet tasted, true Fear.
What has thusfar been manifest is but a precursor
For Dusk is but a shadow of Night


No
It cannot be
Treachery
Have I now succumbed?
Overrun
We′re undone
Is this how the end′s to come?!

I see the bleeding face of gods
Writhing on the spit of my disdain
The boughs of the Blood-oak bend!
Yet still the Serpent reigns!

Though all around me they die,
I, I yet live!
Face me, foul demon!
This is my triumph!

Feel now
(How the shadow burns!) Loathsome Fate!

If this was thine altar I would wrench each pitiful morsel of strength
To see it broken two
If this was Thy name
Curses would rain
To leave smouldering ruin from lips
Ignited to black hatred's flame.

How can you profess to fulfil His will
When the Predator′s eye
Is cold at the time of the kill?

Serpentis
Deus Rex
In eternum
Invictus
