Sea of Steel
Iron within sharpens iron without
Stream of swords to the redoubt
Climb the piles of the dead
Up on the enemy walls we bled
Swing of sword and thrust of lance
Steel adorned in battle's dance
Ax to the limbs and bodies on spears
Air reeks of blood and fear
Events for the chroniclers lore
Tales of glory and gore
Cyclical since the empire fell
Abandoned cities and rural hells
Invaders from the South and East
Bloated eagle's corpse they'll...

Void singularities
In the depths where stars dare not gleam
A void where silence reigns supreme
Eternal dark, a yawning maw
Bends space and time to unseen law
No sound, no breath, no life to trace
In the heart of the endless space
Where matter folds and dreams dissolve
And all that is, begins to evolve
The aether trembles, pale and frail
As light itself begins to fail
In mirrored dark, the threads unwind
A singularity confined
The cosmic fabric splits in two
Reflections fractal, strange, and new
Dimensions twist and backward...
A void where silence reigns supreme
Eternal dark, a yawning maw
Bends space and time to unseen law
No sound, no breath, no life to trace

And all that is, begins to evolve
The aether trembles, pale and frail
As light itself begins to fail
In mirrored dark, the threads unwind
A singularity confined
The cosmic fabric splits in two
Reflections fractal, strange, and new
Dimensions twist and backward...

Enochian Songs Triumphant
O radiant light from Heaven’s peak
In hosts of angels, fierce and meek
Each choir adorned with crowns of grace
Each triumph sealed in holy place
Seraphim blaze with endless flame
Their wings a torch, their voice proclaim
They sing of love that never fades
In fire’s heart, their spirit wades
Cherubim hold wisdom’s key
Their eyes perceive eternity
They guard the gates of Heaven’s span
Where mortal mind may never scan
The Thrones in majesty reside
Their power flows like oceans wide
In judgment pure, they...

Sanctus Sanguinis
O blessed Blood, most pure and bright
Poured forth from Heaven’s sacred rite
Thy crimson tide, our sins doth cleanse
In Thee, O Christ, our hope begins
Thy chalice raised in holy hands
Doth shine with love, an eternal plan
We drink, O Lord, and hearts are stirred
By sacred wine and holy Word
O Blood of Lamb, O Blood divine
Thy mercy flows, transcendent sign
In sacrifice, Thou hast been slain
And through Thy Blood, sangreal pain
In mystic form, Thy Flesh we take
Thy Blood doth heal the hearts that ache

Ancient Pact of Iron
Through argent smoke and sigil’s glow
The iron spirits writhe in pain
Summoned forth from the deep below
Through rites of ash and binding chain
The magus chants with fervent zeal
Inscribed in glyphs of ancient lore
His voice a key, the arcane seal
To bend the wraiths and bar the door
Through spheres of Netzach’s twisted light
They coil ‘round rods of mystic lead
In shadows black as endless night
The rites are carved, the spirits bled
Unseen currents of ether pull...

Great Devourer
A whisper crawls through void and night
A shroud that dims the astral light
No stars can pierce its ashen veil
No beacon bright nor comet’s trail
It chokes the ether, drowns the call
The silent dread that grips them all
A psychic fog, relentless, vast
Consuming futures, devouring past
An unseen tide that swallows thought
Where hopes and dreams are bound and caught
It feasts on prayers and rends the mind
Leaving only the hollow behind
A hunger born of endless black
A ceaseless thirst that won’t retract ...

Shade Between Shadows
In the rift where shadows split
Where angles writhe and forms commit
To twisting paths of maddened flight
In shades that crawl beyond the night
Abyssal lines that tear and fray
Unholy curves that twist the day
No mortal mind could bear the sight
Of darkness folded, turned to blight
The pillars bend with jagged spite
Where geometry corrupts the light
A latticework of eldritch might
That pierces through the heart of sight
No sacred plane remains intact
...

Aureate Divinity of Gilded Shadow
In sanctums veiled, where shadows gleam
A gilded dark, a twisted dream
No sun nor star could dare unveil
The golden black where spirits wail
Divine the shade, the shadows crawl
In golden veils, the light they maul
A blessed dark, a holy blight
Where gold and black entwine the night
O hallowed void, thou art adorned
With splintered rays of darkness scorned
The light that bends beneath thy shroud
To forge a throne of midnight proud
In cathedrals wrought of silent...

Saturnine Resplendence
In silence deep, where suns are blind
The Autarch reigns with chill unkind
A sovereign of the void’s embrace
'Midst shadowed orbs and starless space
The cold dominion, vast and wide
Where planets drift and horrors bide
Unseen by light of mortal kin
The reign of shadows, dark as sin
With scepter forged in Saturn’s dread
He walks the paths where gods have bled
The ancient dark between the stars
Where silence splits like metal scars
His throne is built on nameless stone
Where time is bent, and laws dethrone ...

The Emperor's Angels
Iron halls and stone keep
Where saints and devils vigil keep
The Emperor's wrath in armor clad
Awaken from the battle’s mad
With sigils carved in blood and flame
They march where mortal tongues won’t name
The Angels forged in terror’s breath
The harbingers of crimson death
Their shadows stretch like whispered sins
Where holy light and night begins
For they are wrath and judgment's hand
The sentinels of a burning land
Their eyes aflame with ancient lore
Baptized in war forevermore
They chant in tongues of lost occult ...

Resplendence of Sin Immaculate
In shadows veiled, a throne of night
Where angels weep and shun the sight
A crown of thorns in darkness born
Adorned in sins, the flesh is torn
Unholy light from eyes so keen
A blaze where virtue’s never seen
With iron wings and venom’s kiss
The serpent’s song in whispered hiss
A choir of void where silence reigns
In catacombs of crimson stains
A chalice raised to blood’s delight
To feast upon the sacred blight
The banners torn, the altar cracked
The sun eclipsed, the sky turned black
A choir sings of hollowed...

A choir of void where silence reigns
In catacombs of crimson stains

Putrefying
In quiet earth, the hushed decay
The whispering soil that takes away
A symphony of flesh unwound
To feed the roots below the ground
A slow unthreading of life's seam
A slipping into death’s soft dream
The bloom of dusk in pallid skin
A canvas drawn with veins grown thin
The marrow’s sigh, the sinew’s rest
The bones laid bare in their final test
A crimson river stills to clay
As warmth and breath are stripped away
A banquet for the smallest guest
The life that feasts on life’s last vest
Silent mouths with unseen...
The whispering soil that takes away
A symphony of flesh unwound
To feed the roots below the ground
A slow unthreading of life's seam
A slipping into death’s soft dream
The bloom of dusk in pallid skin
A canvas drawn with veins grown thin
The marrow’s sigh, the sinew’s rest
The bones laid bare in their final test
A crimson river stills to clay
As warmth and breath are stripped away
A banquet for the smallest guest
The life that feasts on life’s last vest
