[Verse 1]
I stake my grail through gut of foe
Embed my flail, watch skull explode
Shield-rim smash teeth from maw
One fell slash cleaves hanging jaw
Skid in entrails, dispatch the knave
Commit culled scum to open grave
Die with a smile, stare glassy-eyed up at boiling skies!
Valkyries descend to gore-caked fen, fallen warriors arise!
[Chorus]
Carry me out upon my shield
In soil stained red of blood congealed
Fall on our swords before we yield
Bury my corpse on battlefield
[Verse 2]
Demonize to foulest distance
Follow trench of most resistance
Hack a trail through intellect
Twist in pith so introspect
Choice splinter us asunder
Beyond rolls endless tundra
[Chorus]
Carry me out upon my shield
In soil stained red of blood congealed
Fall on our swords before we yield
Bury my corpse on battlefield
[Interlude]
Hoplites assemble, don thy bronze
Grip aspes in phalanx of Myrmidon!
[Bridge]
Spirits torched as afterthought
Honor stained Loyalties bought
Free to seep betwixt the cracks
Insert the fuse my Animus lacks
Reinvent nightmares we forget
At the crossroads of our one regret
Deep in gallows’ shadow
All paths dissect!
[Verse 3]
Etched in cryptic vistas, fate will stroke each strand erect
Direct artistic fistulas through bowels of pure neglect
At intersect of nexus, hub of angst connects
Traumas forged to vex us, demon spawn reflect
Spread wings so wide membranes stretch, lend flight to lowly wretch
Rogue ascend from carnal crèche unfurled of livid flesh
Reap the ruin we inseminate, create a vice to violate
We bask in shade of writhing flame, flay our souls in scaulding shame!
