Vide
|
Ravens caw in reverence
|
Anthems to the Welkin at dusk
|
In celebration of the few
|
The kin
|
Beyond flesh
|
Beyond words
|
Those of the core
|
Beyond gods
|
As gods received
|
I float among them
|
On wings once broken
|
Now gleaming black
|
I share their song
|
Of words unspoken
|
Cries of the past
|
|
In times of fiendish tempest
|
Bloodlust turns against the coil
|
Hungry for the fall
|
I greet the pit
|
Blind Savage
|
Cursing Life
|
|
Yet, at the moment of my final step
|
The hands and golden chains are given
|
Bidding me that which can not be deprived
|
The bonds of trust and unity
|
Till the end
|
|
Brethren and sisters of my circle
|
I acclaim thee all
|
When guiding stars are clouded and deranged
|
Fear not to take my hand
|
|
The bonds of trust and unity
|
As gods received
|
Till the end
|
