• 2. Wardrums at Dawn on the Day of My Death (04:54)
   copy

  Awakened by a western wind
  The blood of chaos seeps into dawn
  A call to war in honor and death
  The warrior’s fate to ride the storm
  
  Ride
  
  To ride a path of shadow and death
  To breath the sacred winds of war
  The fires rage within my heart
  To die with honor, to ride the storm
  
  Ride
  
  The imminence of fate on the horizon
  The drums of war on the wind
  The transcendence of spirit through destiny
  Reborn in the liminance of bloodshed
  
  The confluence of foresight and memory
  A prayer of silence on the wind
  The honor of a death steeped in beauty
  The kiss of death upon my spear
  
  The reckoning of prophecy on the horizon
  A sacred manumission of the flesh
  The flames of fate licking softly
  Unbound in the beauty of a sacred death
  
  Now the voice of the wind whispers softly
  A eulogy in the silence of the dawn
  And as my final visions become me
  The eagles shall rise to carry me home

• 3. The Dying Breath of a Sacred Stag (07:44)
   copy

  Upon a great throne of black mountains
  Born in the heart of the storm
  A keeper of shadow and twilight
  A sentinel of lands long forlorn
  
  Born within the eyes of the storm
  
  Now the moons pass like ripples in water
  As the young stag grows old with the pines
  A beacon of chaos and majesty
  Great keeper of twilight
  
  Now wind in the blackened pine whispers
  As death creeps in slow with the dusk
  The beast slows his breath as the winter takes hold
  And surrenders his flesh to the moss
  
  A sacred sepulcher in frost
  An offering of antler and blood
  
  Ancient mounds of weeping earth
  Bound to me through blood and soil
  Sacred shadows cast in thunder
  Whispers on the edge of the storm
  
  The dream persists
  A haze of memory
  Cast adrift
  A ripple in time
  
  The dream persists
  A haze of memory
  Cast adrift
  To awaken the night
  
  The blood of my body
  Shall flow fourth at starlight
  
  Ancient hymn of storm and shadow
  Skies ablaze with memory at dusk
  My spirit unbound under pale moonlight
  The moss surrounds my bones
  
  The dream persists
  A haze of memory
  Cast adrift
  A ripple in time
  
  The dream persists
  A haze of memory
  Cast adrift
  To awaken the night
  
  The dust of my spirit
  Shall flow forth at twilight
  
  A sacred sepulchre in frost
  An offering of flesh to the moss

• 5. God of Black Blood (05:51)
   copy

  Lurking on the edge of time
  You'll find me there
  Waiting
  Creeping in the shadows of the dusk
  Whispers in the dark of the powers of the flesh
  
  God of black blood
  
  Waking beneath dreams and memory
  The rattling of bones and whispers in the night
  Haunting beast of feral twilight
  Bound to cull the aching dreams
  
  God of black blood

• 7. Tears of the Dawn (09:17)
   copy

  The soft kiss of rain the night
  Swelling mists of petrichor bloom
  Softly bleeding memories beckon
  Resplendent in the light of the moon
  
  Awakened by the silence
  In the whispers of dying autumn leaves
  Caste in the wind fade to rust
  
  Haunted by the memory
  Of her shadow bleeding softly cross the sky
  A tear for the ever looming dawn
  
  To embark in the twilight
  Faded passage through the silence of the night
  Kissed by the forlorn of the dark
  Forever forsaken to wander the tombs of memory
  Ashen reflection fade to dust
  
  Awakened by the silence
  In the whispers of dying autumn leaves
  Caste in the wind fade to rust
  
  Haunted by the memory
  Of her shadow bleeding softly cross the sky
  A tear for the everlasting dawn
  
  Dolor
  Sorrow
  Contrition
  Spurred by the wind
  
  Fate
  Beckons
  Fiercely
  She rides on winds of sacred death
  
  She strikes with the fury of fire
  Driven by the wrath of the night
  
  A whisper
  Of longing
  Remembrance
  Forgotten
  In throes of fading light
  
  Thunder and marrow
  Faded sacrifice
  For naught
  From the rot
  Of the loam
  Whispers slowly stir
  A spell on the stillness of the night
  The song grows softer
  Bound by broken memories
  Eternal shadow creeping
  Longing for the tears
  Of the weeping dawn

• 9. And He Became the Burning Stars… (09:50)
   copy

  Memories
  Marbled in time
  Echoes of liminance
  Ashen and sundered
  A final celestial rite
  Surrender my bones
  To the silence of sorrows
  Caste in fading light
  
  Beyond the blackness of death
  A prayer of enflamed stars ascend
  
  Deep
  In the forests of night
  Where the wind softly weeps
  Through the vines of the willow
  There
  I shall ascend
  In the semblance of twilight
  In the silence of shadows
  Caste in fading light
  
  In the silence of shadows
  Caste in fading light
  
  Beyond the blackness of death
  A prayer of enflamed stars ascend
  
  Forsaken horizons beckon
  Resplendent cosmic simulacrum
  
  Beyond the blackness of death
  A prayer of enflamed stars ascend
  
  To breach the boundaries of time
  To become the measureless tide
  A celestial fastness imparted in passage
  The transcendence of spirit in waning light
  
  To ride the ascension of twilight
  Bleeding memories from the cosmic wound
  A flaming tear across an ocean obsidian
  My spirit exhumed in the effulgence of the light of the moon
  
  Relinquish my bones to the silence of sorrows
  Burning beneath celestial pine
  A whisper of flesh in a womb of stars
  My spirit unbound in the effulgence of the light of the moon
• 10. Fleshbound (Lord Belial cover) (04:03)
   copy

  Deep down within
  Obscurity spreads insistently
  My hollow and dark soul
  Is bonded with my flesh
  
  A bright dimness of black
  An evil crimson shade
  Withdraw the drapes
  Set the wickedness free
  
  I tear my flesh to unleash my soul
  I tear my flesh to be free
  
  With blooded remains I slither in pain
  I am not alive nor am I dead
  
  Now I am free from my life
  But I still feel... I'm bound to my flesh
  
  I tear my flesh to unleash my soul
  I tear my flesh to be free
  
  Deep down within
  Obscurity spreads insistently
  My hollow and dark soul
  Is bonded to my flesh
