THE MORN IS WISER THAN THE EVE

Battered and worn, clad in cold steel
Waiting for the night that sends ahead fear
No time to lose but eternity
Bracing ourselves afore our destiny

Will we go down
Not to be seen again
Or will we survive
To finally break the chain

Ere the sun
Will set
Hear, the morn is wiser than the eve
Ere the stars
Illume
See, the night is out there to deceive

A darkness so strong, how shall we withstand
Incertitude dazes our will to defend
If we get through the night and still resist
At fifth day's dawn we shall look to the east

Where's our strength,
Where our confidence?
A hope beyond hope
Is our last defence
Ere the stars
Illume
See, the night is out there to deceive
Ere the sun
Will set
Hear, the morn is wiser than the eve

DEVIL HIS DUE

A heavenly sign
Led me on this sacred path
A vision from God
Heralding a just wrath
The Holy Land
Has fallen into the hands of the infidels
Christendom's bane
A challenge for our innocence

Onward for the noblest cause
To the gates of Yerusalim
March on in the name of Christ
We shall crush The Saracen

In piety
We wander
Towards salvation's end
Infinite tears
Shall flow
Into the desert's sand

Ankledeep in the infidels' blood
At the gates of Yerusalim
Fulfilling our oath to God
As bounteous as we deem

Relentlessly
We murdered
Let them pay for our journey's toils
Salvation's won
At the cost of our sanity
Now is the time for fucking spoils

The sign of the cross
Flies high
At the cost of our sanity

I’ll admit
I don’t care anymore
All I need is a woman for sale
They don’t judge and they care even less
A golden coin is their Holy Grail

Victory has left me blind
Drunk with power and greed
The smell of death poisons my mind
Plants the devil his seed

The Devil his due
Temptation, oh thy sweet caress
The Devil his due Excess shall be my mistress

By the dawn has settled the dust
Forgotten our sheer bestiality
Burned are now the hills of the dead
And with it all morality

Revealed in the hour of death
My obsession with the whores of Yerusalim
In ecstacy then and now
I am nothing but a slave of sin!

Beyond good and evil

ASTRAL IRON

In a dream
Of an age long ago
Among statues of nameless kings
Pagan tunes the minstrel sings
In a song
One is named to be born
If his faith and fortune not fail
Remedy may yet prevail

He shall wield Astral Iron

From stars unknown
It came to this world
To the First Men
Yet savage and cold

Just one man dared
To raise his eyes
Strange tales he heard
Of fire and ice

Astral Iron
From the cosmic void it came to us
Astral Iron
Astral Iron
Oh how it shines, so bright and treacherous
Astral Iron
Doom of the gods
Astral Iron

Archaic secret
From the vaults of time
Born of the stars yet in their prime
A daring gauntlet
Defying the laws of man
Last magic item's final stand

By arcane means
He forged a sting
So bright and splendid
He became king

A childless heir
Forgotten blade
Noone remembered
It had been made


When aeons passed
The steel reappeared
A young smith's doom
Most he has feared

A brute machine
Fingers devoured
All hope seemed lost
Lo, higher power!

Reforged for one last strike
Resounds the voice of steel
The void's primordial secrets it reveals
Insult to gods and men alike
Beyond the grasp of time
Ode wherein ice and fire rhyme

Astral Iron
Into the cosmic void it resonates
Astral Iron
Astral Iron
Oh how it sounds, so sweet and glorious
Astral Iron
Doom of the gods
Astral Iron

Doom of the gods
