Scourge 02:54

Sunder 05:17
I... I am dredged... From the depth... From the void! I was happy to dwell apart, for a time We must return, this is no true life But we cannot, reconcile... you and I! The pain and anger, it flows anew Then, it is time, to decide What becomes of us A wretched lie... to me! Lost are we again. Here we stand, sundered, fractured one Two halves of a splintered ego Never to reforge, Those thoughts, that time, When everything fell apart Our wants, goals and wishes Never to be right… An act, event, that split us to utter turmoil. I did not seek out your sadness For this, where comes the call? I would end this if I could Do not make me, return to life In the end I'll stop them now, for you Please No! And we shall not part again, Forever, in my head.

The Ascent 05:08
A token of power, This ritual of strength, To raise our gaze and find, The stars aligned. But now his sun, her moon, And our great earth. They meet as one For knowledge’s rebirth. And from the void, The ebb and flow. We find the time to learn, To learn and grow. So now in time Ascent at hand Celestial Alignment It helps us stand. Oh! In my domain, Another race rises The Ascension of Man to clarity. An artifact of hope, This citadel of faith Arcane knowledge found For the betterment of all. A reverence is held For all that’s true The righteous man Is born anew And from the void, The ebb and flow. We find the time to learn, To learn and grow. So now in time Ascent at hand Celestial Alignment It helps us stand.

Restrain the thoughts that seep in, Untie the Lost, no shame in... Strange, time to call… here un-needed! Horizon's falling into grey! A Den of Thieves... Forget the loss that freezes, Untie the loss, that grieves us. Horizon's Fall that leads to grey, A Den of Thieves and here to stay. Nothing holds true, but the foundation of what was, And nothing holds more tightly, Than the grip, of pain and loss, A mourning for all that was... and could have been.
5.
Tis the end, of all you've ever known, To Hew in Wrath, you must learn The strongest cut, descends from your right. Let your wards be set, Let none abide! I abide, in the hand of the blade To make the master’s reach eternal To hew in wrath The master cut descends Again and again... Again and again! No ward shall hold, Every shield shall break, All defence is fouled, When the master binds, His blade to thee! Defences broken My final strike rings true The close of curtain The end for you. My heart And blade They sing As one! Can’t you see, there is something more now, Than this fight in vain. I am no longer a free man, To the sword and shield. It is not my destiny, to fall before the blade. I must fight the infamy, and end this torturous war. Hark now, the end is nigh, and the earth will fall to me I have fought the common man, he trembles in his fear. YOUR DEATH IS AT HAND
