Parted stars amidst autumn skies
Heed omens of death's approach
Desperation in bloodshot eyes
Holding fast to the verses in oath

Taste the hardened steel of cold defeat
With bowed head and battered brow
Tot he wretched gallows of modernity
You must serve thine lord with gratitude

Blood drenched hands strike tales of old
Inscribing hissings of serpent's tongue
Those veiled in filthy bovine hides
Command whispers of life's undoing
Weeping in silenced mortality
A sanguine relic of the undivine

Offerings of unending ebb and flow
Struck down by synthesis
Upon black winds flutter ancient whispers
Listen and you shall hear

Verses in oath
Verses in oath, faced by filth of lechery
Verses in oath, in unbroken ancient reverie
Verses in oath

Forgotten rites struck down
To make way of civilization
With fractured soul a verse is sung
To bring forth procreation
Knowledge lost to the blade of time
Severed with precision and prose
For you know not what you are on this mortal coil

Parted stars 'neath autumn skies
Spell a tale of your demise
Desperation met with savagery
What you are is but a fiber
Taste hardened steel of life's defeat
For it is the last that you shall know
Allegiance to the only truths
Shall sever thy threads of being

Verses in oath
Verses in oath, faced by filth of lechery
Verses in oath, in unbroken ancient reverie
Verses in oath

Upon black winds flutter ancient whispers
Listen and you shall hear

Verses in oath
