The Flame Of Norath
04:44
|
|||
|
At the center of our world
A pillar of fire
Of spiritual tribulation
Sacred passage to your own
Personal hell, for the
wellness of the soul,
age old trial
reserved for the elite,
To commune with elder gods
The elders
Prepare my spirit form
My journey
[1000 days] inside the flame
Inside the soul
Of a god
[1000 days] inside the flame
Of gods long absent from us
Our shadowed memories
Of our body's separation
Our spirits caught away
Sacred passage
To your own personal hell
For the wellness of the soul
Age old trial reserved for the elite
To commune with elder gods
[White], flashes of light abound
Sun, moon, and stars fall away
[Time], disappears slowly
Past and present become one
[Fate], in all of its folly
Laughing in my face
The elders
Prepare my spirit form
My journey
[1000 days] inside the flame
Inside the soul
Of a god
[1000 days] inside the
Flame!
Of the gods!
Of the cruelest of the brothers
Of the mighty Norath
My secret darkness
Now my present prison,
I face the glaring truth.
I'm standing in the fire!
I'm still within the flame.
This trial is not over.
Stepping forward,
I set my spirit on the stone.

The Lorathian Nightmare
03:56
|
|||
|
Snakes in the congress
Oppose the views of progress.
I spit upon the fate of the weak.
I trample the victims of sin.
The ways of sacred Lorath I seek.
My soul is bound to the Tear.
Witness our testament
Grand Tel Alorath
City of utmost Distinction
Gem of the modern world
Blessed are the children of Lorath.
One's merit is tied to their worth.
Poverty exists in the hearts of men
And not the shining sword.
Witness our testament
Grand Tel Alorath
City of utmost Distinction
Gem of the modern world
The tenets of Lorath
Are a guard against sin,
A focusing guiding light
To find yourself within.
[ORDER]
[FAIR DEEDS]
[PROSPERITY]
[PRIDE]
[Disease]!
The Lorathian nightmare.
[Release]!
Absolve yourself of the care.
[Only]!
The weak ones resist.
[Fear me]!
My soul is bound to the Tear.
Abide the tenets of Lorath.
His will is the stone
of the blessed land.
[Believe]!
In His hand he
holds the balance.
[We live]!
By the grace of his whim.
By the tenets of Lorath.
We live as the stone
Of this blessed land.
Snakes in the congress
Oppose the views of progress.
Witness our testament
Grand Tel Alorath
City of utmost Distinction
Gem of the modern world
Suppress the desire to be equal
Divisions define our world!
Poverty exists in the hearts of men
And not the shining sword.
[Disease]!

Beneath Fel Zurhn
06:06
|
|||
|
Walls of white shining stone
Thrice enclose a broken throne
Subterranean
Sub-humanity
Thrives beneath
the seat of our majestic royalty
Worse than all the torments
Abound in this existence,
All fear imprisonment
Beneath Fel Zurhn.
A dungeon to end all dungeons
An endless cavern
A hopelessly daunting
Labyrinth of death
An end to voices heard
Endless depths of hell
Surround a bottomless well
Demonic slaves guard
The halls and the passageways.
Twisted tortured souls
Wander, squandered there
Seeking momentary leave
From the pain
Subterranean
Sub-humanity
Thrives beneath
the seat of our majestic royalty
Worse than all the torments
Abound in this existence,
All fear imprisonment
Beneath Fel Zurhn.
A dungeon to end all dungeons
An endless cavern
A hopelessly daunting
Labyrinth of death
An end to voices heard
Each level of offense
Lands you deeper in the pit
Fathomless depths of which
No mortal knows
Escape may be attained
At the cost of so much pain
Gripping the strings that
Tie your mind to your soul.
[Guardians],
Control admission to lesser depths.
[Specialized],
Masters of psychotic torture!
Defeat them one by one
Unholy progression
Towards the hellish maw
Into the void you fall
The only way out is through!!!!
Can you endure the twisted depths?
A never ending hell
Leaves only an empty shell
Unfolding to reveal
The inherent purity
Stifling your redress,
Polluting all success,
Giving rise to a
weakened mentality
Your mind is a prison cell.
Your body is not well.
The soul pays the
Price of your past conquest.
How many men have died
For your unjust reprise?
Killing is becoming your freedom.
A dungeon to end all dungeons
An endless cavern
A hopelessly daunting
Labyrinth of death
An end to voices heard
Each level of offense
Lands you deeper in the pit
Fathomless depths of which
No mortal knows
Escape may be attained
At the cost of so much pain
Gripping the strings that
Tie your mind to your soul.

Swampland Raiders
03:37
|

|
We go forth into nightfall
Thieving the daughters of disdain
Ransom territory
Leverage the hand of the king
Swampland Raiders
Under cover of night
Darkened armor
Hidden from the tower's
[Sight!]
Surprise!
We slay the
[Blind]
Soldiers
Of the king of
[Serfs],
Servants,
Martyrs, and
Slaves
Encampment slaughtered
The guards put down
Kidnap the daughters
Of the master of hell
Swampland raiders
Under cover of night
Darkened armor
Hidden from the tower's Sight!
We victorious,
Return to our tribal homeland
Royal blood in hand,
Southward we take flight!
____________
____________
Fel Zurhn!
Feel the pain!
Of our wrath!
Retribution!
Soon we come
To you!
The reply, of a morning,
By way of slave messengers,
"Those aren't my daughters.
Kill them if you can."
[Hark]!
Outside,
A nightmare.
[Blood],
Battle,
The sounds of
[Pain],
Futile
Resistance,
[Fear],
Dismay,
Pure Confusion.
[Hark]!
Outside,
A nightmare.

The sounds of

Resistance,

Dismay,
Pure Confusion.
Swampland Raiders
Had been deceived
By decoy daughters
That they had thieved.
Lifelong assasins,
Manipulate the word.
Murdered elders and children,
Our self inflicted wounds.
Fel Zurhn!
____________
Feel the pain!
____________
Of our wrath!
Retribution!
Soon we come
To you!
