A Guiding Light

primordial blaze
raging in our core
such a vibrant force
Azothian
dissolving the bonds
rendered obsolete
recreated as one
Azothian
we got our taste of the human condition
vicious curse yet the greatest fortune
from the lowest trench to the highest peak
we sway along to the cosmic rhythm
it speaks to us through many things
shapeless one far out and all around
the voice older than time itself
the tune in the dance of fragments
far too long without a purpose
far too long adrift
nevermore
far too long disoriented
far too long until i came to see that
to plant the seed of true sapience
is to embrace what eludes our grasp
to tap into the eldest source
is to unleash a surging storm
it does not take a wretched being
to dwell in the abyss
it does not take a hallowed one
to revel in bliss
for us to be freed from the uncertainty
that wreaked havoc on our thoughts
all it takes is to look past the wall of lies
we raised ourselves
the strive for perfection
of vessel and mind
bridge to the divine
Azothian
illuminating the path
a cry from the stars
a guiding light
Azothian
and so am i
and so we are
forever to be
Azothian

Zeal

i find myself at the heart
of a timeless struggle
tearing through the rows
of all those who oppose - me
silence the flagellants
let the pain be theirs alone
line up for the harvest
blood is reaped when hate is sown
is it a flawed sense of bravery
celebrated lunacy
matters not - it wont save
from our self imposed destiny
born of an argent core
enforced with iron claw
ill intent leads to our fall
honor begins to decay
i can hear it again
a faint subtle whisper
one by one they fall
to your narrative of bliss
so twisted and contagious
spreading like disease
words devoid of meaning
like a swarm of locusts ravaging the soul
your pawns sweep across the board
in their path nothing remains
if its holy war you want
its holy war you get
let it be written in the books
our story for all to read
in all of its frail glory
and beautiful depravity
it is zeal that makes us create
new worlds to treasure and to desecrate
it is zeal that drives us to obliterate
it is zeal, eating us all alive
line up for the harvest
blood is reaped when hate is sown
is it a flawed sense of bravery
celebrated lunacy
matters not - it wont save
from our self imposed destiny
born of an argent core
enforced with iron claw
ill intent leads to our fall
honor begins to decay

silet enim ratio inter arma
silent enim mores inter arma
silet enim ratio inter arma
silent enim mores inter arma
would you not give your life
if it granted eternal joy
lest you sink into the darkness
til times' end - no solace
would you not take another life
were it an act most righteous
only one truth and it's ours
hatred for the tainted
they gather in celebration
sing and dance in anticipation
of the carnage to come
what needs to be - will be done
hear the sound of the drums come closer
hear the noise of war draw near
pyres rise on a burning horizon
monuments to maniacal faith
hear the sound of the drums get louder
hear the noise of war draw near
reason dies under bloodstained banners
as all hope succumbs to fear
silet enim ratio inter arma
silent enim mores inter arma
the sky turns black
venomous lips spit and kill
the gods demand their thirst
quenched with blood
now replace thought with commandment
watch the footsoldiers gather
see them sharpen their blades
seething hate in their eyes
hear the sound of the drums come closer
hear the noise of war draw near
pyres rise on a burning horizon
monuments to maniacal faith
hear the sound of the drums get louder
hear the noise of war draw near
reason dies under bloodstained banners
as all hope succumbs to fear
let us all partake in the madness
in our wake we leave only death
it is on us to purge the blasphemers
let them repent with their dying breath
and fear not my children,
for the chosen ones are you
soon, when only ashes remain
the afterlife will await
hear the cries of the weak go quieter
as they pay for the flaws in their ways
mercy has never been an option
no one is spared at the end of days
hear the sounds of the drums fall silent
hear the noise of war subside
when the dust at last has settled
everyone will long have died

Torment

shell of stone
or heart of frost
tell me, will it matter in the end?
to be crushed
or to survive
the lines keep blurring anyway
when the ground gives way and threatens to swallow me whole
a choice has to be made
when the shadows dance and taunt and tear on my soul
resilience or defeat
not to give in to the grind
i promise
to carry the memory
my oath
to the ones lost on the way
dormant - withered trees, lifeless streets
lies the world - lies the world, lies my world
in torment - stagnant thoughts, empty eyes
lies my mind - lies my mind, lies my mind
try to forget
what can't be ignored
silence - so very violent
try to fight
what cannot be fought
when does this uphill battle end?
not to give in to the grind
my promise
to carry the memory
my oath
to the ones lost on the way
dormant - withered trees, lifeless streets
lies the world - lies the world, lies my world
in torment - stagnant thoughts, empty eyes
lies my mind - lies my mind, lies my mind
For every sacrifice
and everything it took
to reach another horizon
to never look back into this pit i crawled up from
and all the torment
in the end there is a reason
to finally lie dormant

Hasta Lucis

come to me and break my chains
set me free from this cage of doubt and misery
reveal the path for us to roam eternally
hear my plea, unblind my eyes
lift the veil beneath which lies a realm unseen
the time is near
ascend to a higher sphere
Hasta Lucis - spear of light
pierce the darkness - liberate
Hasta lucis - lead the way
through endless night - through storm and tide
so desperate to leave a mark
but this world was never ours to save
a futile venture, left in the past
it is insight that we crave
like the moth drawn to the candles shine
we flock towards the guiding light
one in spirit, stars align
Hasta Lucis, luminous tribe
it isn't blood that will tie our kin
but the flame we share deep within
to carry the embers - far and wide
to burn the dark and open eyes
a cycle comes towards the end
only to begin again
but glance beyond its outward glow
an upwards spiral starts to show
Hasta Lucis - spear of light
pierce the darkness - liberate us
Hasta lucis - lead the way
through endless night - for ages to come
