about

Self-titled track from the debut EP The Usurper.

lyrics

A whisper of treachery spreading like a disease
Malefic intentions of magnanimous deceit
Once proud traditions are wiped away by the "Lord"
The price for your honor is to die by the sword

Hark! The peasants tremble and are forced to their knees
Alas the fevered pitch, a crescendo of tortures unleashed

Believe this lie or fade away
Ancient truths no longer hold sway

Political expediency was grasped immediately
A venomous delusion spread through the monarchy
With no regard for kith and kin, our beliefs were waylaid
Twilight's fleeting promise was the price that was paid

Hark! The deities tremble as they fade from belief
Alas the darkness cometh, with death to bequeath
Silence from the Aesir, mead halls left in shame
The bastard son of a foreign god is the one we must blame

Brother against brother war
Prophecied in years of yore

Those who resist are slain
By heretics in a false god's name
Cries from silenced lips bespeak
Of sacrifice and bravery
Families slaughtered to a man
Dead by their descendant's hands

Hark! our culture defiled, our troth is forsworn
Alas the sacred arts from our legacy shorn
Ritualized destruction of a once proud society
Nobility forced underground by the treachery
...Of fate

Cries of shattered lives foretell
Nations doomed in flames to dwell

Those who resist are slain
By heretics in a false god's name
Cries from silenced lips bespeak
Of sacrifice and bravery
Families slaughtered to a man
Vile blood on their children's hands
Families slaughtered to a man
Blackened blood on their children's hands
