Drought of Mercy

Engulfed within the darkness
In the ashes of glass
Acquire the ancient tyrant's rule
Opulence you blindly grasp
Blood flows in the gutters
Pain in the gallery
As the frost of Hell burns cold
So begins this drought of mercy

Ritual invoked by fire's blaze
Atrophied in the ice-desert haze
Blood burnt iron forged unhallowed ground
Obsidian the sound

Drought of mercy, oppression's thirst
Usurper returns for possession's curse
An illusion, dreams of war
Noblemen will hang no more
Conquest and victory
Power and might
In mercy's drought
A sacrifice this night

Smite the usurper's ground
Dark lords obeyed
Triumph sets its runes in stone
My fealty never strays
Drought of mercy, opaque view
Acquired the ancient tyrant's rule
A feud to dominate
Winter's fragments fornicate

Ritual invoked by fire's blaze
Atrophied in the ice-desert haze
Blood burnt iron forged unhallowed ground
Obsidian the sound

Tenebrous ghoul
Raven en masse
All mercy's drought
In the darkness of glass

Blood burnt iron's wrath ablaze
Cursed heat of icy haze
Mercy's drought on sacred ground
Obsidian in its sound

Phantom embodies blackened shores
Parched with thirst at mercy's door
Dominions rage, the droughts arise
Born to die for death at birth's demise
