Black Triangle
06:03
|

When they came for the others
When they came for the few
They stood alone
Now they are come for you
Splintered bodies
Minds jagged as the glass that shattered
That crystal night
Where the hell were you when it mattered
A great evil
No dagger that crossed your neck
You were blessed, blessed
When all else was death
First, the others
Then, the few
Set alight to the written word
Down among those hot burning streets
Yours not the cursed star. No
black triangle on your sleeve
A great Evil
No dagger that crossed your neck
Blessed blessed blessed
When all else was death
First, the others
Then, the few
They, stood alone
Now
Now they come for you
Once blessed
Forever ash
No black triangle
No turning back

Citadels
04:45
|

Through the streets, through the streets
To the tower in the fog
Cross the trench that's filled
With the blood of the lost
To traitors gate
Treasons in the blood
Release the ravens
The Kingdom is lost
We won't be saved by Lords and Kings
They are just fucking thieves
They are our betrayers
Plunge my hand into the black hearted tree
Pull those mighty oaks down on me
Roots corrupted with sickness and spite. Close
minded, poisonous parasites
Stop us stop us
As we descend
Into the shadows caste
By hate filled men
We won't be saved by Lords and Kings
They are just fucking thieves
They are our betrayers
Once more for the glory
Once more into the night
Time to hit them face on
Once more we ride
Once more for the glory
Once more into the night
Time to hit them face on
No place left to hide
They are just fucking thieves
Fucking thieves
Instead of burning bridges and raising citadels
We should be burning flags and raising fucking hell

Lord Betrayer

I hold your broken body
Your eyes were so like mine
Where did you go my son
Where did you wander all this time
I’ve been to the sermon rock
I ascended the holy mount
I fell like angel's tears
Into the hallowed ground
I built a gilded wall
Around all that I loved
Still your hammer falls
On my flesh and on my blood
god has forsaken us
I laid your body down
At the altar of my pride
No lamentations here
A shame no veil could hide
My heart did not foresee
My watchfires burned so low
My love is gall and dust
And now I can’t let you go
Who is this god I served
Who taught me how to kneel
My heart is slashed and torn
Broken on your wheel
On the mount of Abraham
You shed his blood and spared the ram
god has forsaken us

Blade
Scrapes
Agony
Silence
Buried beneath a dripping cross
Graves dug under broken stars
Virtue, virtue
Buried, buried
Lost, lost
This is the deepest of all my scars
Blinded by a low winter sun
I start to see what I've become
Blade
Scrapes
Agony
Silence
Cut out the festering sore
Redeem myself in their eyes once more
Virtue, virtue
Buried, buried
Lost, lost, lost
This is the deepest of all my scars
Blinded by a low winter sun
I no longer care what I've become
I'd
Rather be
The Devil he
Than salvation
From the earth I rise
Shed this painful skin
The relief of being a beast
Unleash the agony within
Beyond the pale of love
Freed from moral chains
By sword, by famine, by plague
Each will know my name

Jackal's Night
03:28
|

Night of the Jackal
As avarice is enshrined
In the temple of the damned
The tyrant takes the throne
Washes his bloody hands
They wake to the last of days
His sleep was the sleep of reason
He contains multitudes
For his name is legion
Between the jaws of death
We still our beating hearts
We will catch our breath
In the night
The night
In the night
The night of the jackal
It
Will
All
Fall
In the night of the Jackal
Death is an atavist
He nurtures his own kind
Smell the sulphur
And see dominions in his eyes
Between the jaws of death
We still our beating hearts
We will catch our breath
In the night
The night
In the night
The night of the jackal
We
Shall
Not
Fall
In the night of the jackal

Lampedusa

They went down to the water
To lay them down to sleep
Beneath a sky without stars
In the water so dark
They laid them down to sleep
No good can come of that water
Just the promise of darkness below
No mother of pearl
No place in this world
Just the slow and sure reaping of souls
The man that crossed that same water
With a cross and a gun at his side
Oh how barren the earth
How deadly the curse
In the wake of his fire and lies
They that cross that same water
In the path of that man once before
No welcoming arms
Just the promise of harm
As they sink to the bottom of it all
There's a war that drives their sons from their sides
There's a war in the land that they seek
Where we rage at their kin
At the colour of their skin
As they drown in the tears of the sea
They went down to the water
To lay them down to sleep
Beneath a sky without stars
In the water so dark
They laid them down to sleep
They are Thrown into the sea
Or cast out overboard
Not waving
But drowning
And Things they fall apart
In the cold white heart of man
Overseers
Slave masters
Colonise the mind
Colonise the soul
Rape the land
For it’s weight in gold
I cast the whip
And I Brand the skin
And I Break the will
Let god’s love in
There are no apologies
The conscience lies unstirred
Sleeping sound on
A sea of bones
They owned you once
We, the heirs of a poisoned cup
We drank it down
We watched you drown
Colonise the mind
Colonise the soul
Rape the land
Weight in gold
I cast the whip
And I brand the skin
And I break the will
Let god’s love in
