The sky god ruptures to rid itself of darkness
Initiate internal war Conceived in conflict the high heavens and the burning hells are forged into creation After centuries of discord soon the world stone was seized The creation of the sanctuary led to banishings Prime evils infiltrate the minds of men to weaponize humanity against forces of justice Conflicting creeds indoctrinate Divide the mortal realm Queen of the Succubi breaks free Destined to overwhelm Framed for the murder of cult leaders Hunt down Uldyssian The stone of worlds mutated Enchant the Nephalem Perceived as abominations Dwellers in the sanctuary Exposed to beings of light Descending from the ether Minions reign down upon them Bludgeoning the legions with might Consuming all the destruction that ravages world Uldyssian in exile retreats into the void Unprecedented energies have been released far across the land Time reversed Undone is war Born anew The world once more Prime evils banished From perdition Horadrim pursue Endless missions Imbed the shard in the magi’s chest Imprison destruction Hate sealed beneath temples of Kurast Guarded by Zakarum Beneath a doomed cathedral lies Terror’s forgotten catacomb 02. Fouled Sanctity
Thick fogs of dread roll through this village unbeknownst to unforeseen atrocities
Below the ghastly depths this house of worship festers with malignancy Kings crazed with wicked possession beckon executions In a dying breath sworn knights are cursed into pacts of unholy servitude The stone of souls gouges the scion’s brow Iniquity will now take flesh Archbishops corrupt by maliciousness Slaughtering the righteous The butcher Licks his blade As screams fill the sepulcher The blood stains Cenotaphs Flooding the ossuary Minions raze the countryside Dominions have been claimed by wicked thrice Follow the trail of blood leading into the mouth of the fathomless bowels Descend the steps below The sanctity of this place has been fouled The stench of toxic wounds drift through the lungs exhaling effluvium Corpses mount the jagged pikes Adorned in diabolic fashion Proceed through the winding portal Challenging the slaughter master Poisoned waters cascade forests Infecting the roots and soil Plague and infestation ravage Ruins of the sanctum The shadows Engulfing Lost realms of the forgotten Eyes rotting Visionless Unsighted halls eternal The anvil of fury forges the steel Weapons divine the crusader wields Tunneling through cobweb ridden halls The skeletal monarch is destined to fall The map of the stars leading to the maze Dwelleth the terror in pits set ablaze A battle for ages begins now to wage Fell the accursed savage with rage Befall Burning with the crimson flame The essences of sin have been contained Tormented voices haunt the mind Resurrection in due time 03. Nemesis Confession
Voices call across the halls of a weathered asylum
Footsteps inching closer like a swinging pendulum Bats fluttering, following a hooded visitor I lay writhing in this cell, whips crack in the distance Speak your grievances To the archangel Searching, looming, judging Seeking refuge in the mountains with the exiles Dreams of the monastery corrupt and defiled Burning terrors spawned in flesh crawl from chasms below The citadel blazing in a raze of damnation Witness blasphemy Birthed from depraved dreams Onward, always East Sanity speaks now only in whispers As we descend further into the crypt Beguiled by sacrilege rapid and cunning Foolishly ensure the doom of the world Search for the temple ravaged in pestilence Gatherings ghastly around the altar Voices are dismal, piercing and ruthless Thresholds have opened into the madness Skies will rain fire, seas become as blood Righteous have fallen before the wicked The wanderer mutates into horned one Send trepidation unto the forlorn Framed in suffering End in misery To prime evil deeds 04. Maiden Of Anguish
Rains descend on this mangled camp
A fortress withered by endless affray Sisterhoods befell to a hex The demoness initiates her reign Strongholds corrupt, dissolution Manipulated rogues against their own Horrors from beyond the grave Lurk deep within a cobweb ridden cave From the monastery graveyard Rise the blood raven in possessed rage Tortured spirits banished now Dust ridden crypts we must investigate Through the murk of the dark wood Roots run deep below the molded turf The eldest tree withholds the scroll Open portals to ruination Plunge through the sunken passageways To the monolithic monuments Liberate the elder Cain Foretelling terrors imminent to rise And so it came to pass The countess bathed in virgin blood Buried alive beneath a castle fell to ruin Fortunes lie alongside the rotting skulls that bear mute witness to the inhumanity of the human creature Across the marshes black Carver shamans lie slain in packs The vile archers exercised and put to rest forever Night Clan blades shatter under the weight of retribution Nests of wretched blood hawks cease to discharge for eternity Storm the barracks, smite the smith, retrieve the enchanted malus Weapons bound in sorcery are hammered on this weathered forge We march through rusted prisons up to the inner cloister An armored stand is made against darkness upon us To the depths of the poisoned halls where the lamia waits The maiden of anguish felled But the battle is far from complete 05. Seven Tombs
Tread through the desert sands
And deep into the sewers In search of undead mages Merciless and brooding The burning dead march forth Flaming arrows piercing through chain mail Fumes of the deceased Pervade archaic passageways Guardian spells ancient Begin to unravel Across the dunes of the rocky wastes Sabre cats unfurled Scarabs surging bolts of fury Shocking to the core Enigmatic messages Etched into the sibylline scroll Retrieve The Staff of Kings from the undead halls Reclaim The cube from maggot lairs Secure The amulet from viper claws Transmute To cleanse the seven tombs Cadavers line the floors Slain within the palace harem Barbed clubs soaked in blood are gripped firmly by the Urdar A portal to the sanctuary Arcane and unearthly Vanquish the vile summoner Pursue this wicked journey Retrieve The Staff of Kings from the undead halls Reclaim The cube from maggot lairs Secure The amulet from viper claws Transmute To cleanse the seven tombs Mage clans divided Dissolved brotherhoods Strengthened evil festers Beneath the cold earth Through the magi canyon To Tal Rasha’s Tomb In the burial chamber Waits the pain lord’s doom Vanquished The Maggot King lies gutted Unleashed Terror and Destruction reign 06. The Blackened Temple
Lurking in the darkest reaches
Far beyond the mortal realm The hatred lord consumes its host Possession succumbs him A fetid jungle devours the vestiges of an ancient city Populaces decimated by the withered sanity The malice ridden tyrant’s presence felt In every fiber of the morass Canals are flowing red with blood of thousands Drenching the Spider Forest Lurking in the darkest reaches Far beyond the mortal realm The hatred lord consumes its host Possession succumbs him The viridescent inferno has conquered A smoldering metropolis Religious orders in league with the forces of unrelenting repugnance Capitals now laid to waste in ruins Unto the deprivation Compelling orbs controls the priests And wretched congregations Lurking in the darkest reaches Far beyond the mortal realm The hatred lord consumes its host Possession succumbs him Unearth the divine mage clan blade To reenforce the repelling seals An elder warlock recasts the force field Kept at bay, the willowisps yield With volition impenetrable to evil Standing in defiance to all The insurgent slain and mutilated Relics hidden in untold strongholds Slicing through the suffocating silken webs that weave Paths to the arachnid ridden caves Severing the limbs the of the burning arthropod fiend Laying claim to the eye of Khalim Plunge through the great marsh and into the jungle of flayers The dungeon tests the strength of all who dare A witch doctor strikes black magic spells that fill the veins Before one must obtain the mage’s brain Beneath the bazaar rubble cesspool discharge suppurates Ghoulish bone fetishes lie in wait Amidst the muck and grime to find the heart we must prevail The high council is slain to seize the flail Smite the orb that manipulates Agape the doors of the prison of hate The zealot’s blood upon thy blade Approach the befouled durance The blackened temple trembles Pulsing with abhorrence The toxin clears the stagnant, dampened halls Fallen the first of three 07. Not Even Death
From my reign
Never free Not even death can save you from me You will burn Sufferer to be Not even death can save you from me The last bastion of light Withers before the outposts of hell Amidst the countless souls lost Fiendish vessels confine archangels Awaits the perdition forge Your bones will be used for vile munitions The river of flame boils your flesh As you approach the terror fortress From my reign Never free Not even death can save you from me You will burn Sufferer to be No not even death can save you from me Harrowingly the seals unfurled As legions of loathing spawn shall infiltrate Hadriel’s bid at admonition Attempted in vain, demise lies in wait Tempests discharge of flame and thunder Brimstone ruptures whence a glutinous stride Even if bested by rivals victorious Rue their days weary, besieged by my curse Not even death can save you from me 08. The Way Of Ancients
The frost caresses the winter laden tundra
A prestigious fortress is left unscathed All else in destruction’s path left in ruin Guardians of the passage standing firm Against frozen winds Worth must be proven amongst the warriors Who forged tested walls Of stone and steel A moment of reprieve is all but short lived Barbarian blood thaws the freshly lain snow Protective wards constructed by the elders Keeping the stygian furies at bay The siege of destruction has taken its toll Nevertheless The monarch of desolation roams the mountains in search of the sacred stronghold The heart of creation’s nature now poisoned insatiable desire to control Remaining forces slain at the hands of the whip wielding overseer Lay down thy hammer and raise up a sword Merciless forces of tusk bearing minions Roaming the tundra, imprisoning brave souls Far and adrift from the war beaten path Liberated from bone chilling confinement Escape the highlands frigid Catapults raining down unearthly wrath Nether realm portals spew forth the wicked The way of ancients leads to sacred summits Here lies testaments to our destiny Conquer the gods on a path to our glory The rite of passage to the world stone keep The final quest To dethrone the lord of destruction Cast the blade celestial Slay the infernal |
