The Bloody Jungle
Sent to the islands to secure what is ours,
Now is the deathly hour,
Landing ashore in the cover of night,
Hide until dawn and attack in the twilight,
Shake them awake with the thunder of guns,
Into the tropical Hell we run,
Orders came from command,
Dig in and make a stand,
Take the islands back,
Artillery covers our attack,
Through the green,
Our weapons give...

Across The Stormy Seas
Across the northern sea
A fleet of the free
Longship on the grey
Making it's way
To gain glory for Asgard
Story for the bards
Led by a berserker lord
A horde of shields and swords
Under barren sky
For the one eyed God they die
Across the Sandy beach
Sits the abbey within reach
No one but monks inside
In the Norse ride
Blood spatters the walls
As corpses fill the hall
Ships loaded with loot and slaves
Norse...

Across the Sandy beach
Sits the abbey within reach
No one but monks inside

Shadows Fall
Bearer of the dark fame
The demon with no name
Enclosed in a private cell
Earned it's own personal hell
You know he's black as night
More tainted than Satan's blight
A being largely unknown
Yet exalted is his throne
Being of shadow and rotted flesh
Legion of lies made fresh
To stray you off the path
Making the meek pawns of wrath
He is the wolf that creeps
Slaughtering the Lord's sheep
He is of the lowest plane
Lord of shadow and...
The demon with no name
Enclosed in a private cell
Earned it's own personal hell
You know he's black as night
More tainted than Satan's blight
A being largely unknown
Yet exalted is his throne
Being of shadow and rotted flesh
Legion of lies made fresh
To stray you off the path
Making the meek pawns of wrath

Slaughtering the Lord's sheep
He is of the lowest plane

Fallen Believer
Hail to the one
Who faced the order
Kneel to the sun
Facing the light hoarder
Dark for this dark knight
Words of a deceiver
Shadows in the light
Questions of a fallen believer
Heresy in the halls
Inquisitors with their steel
Many heed their call
As tortured souls start to feel
Why this light is dark
From a church so cold
They feel so stark
As they join the fold
Too many lost souls
A fight you cannot win ...
Who faced the order
Kneel to the sun

Dark for this dark knight
Words of a deceiver

Heresy in the halls
Inquisitors with their steel
Many heed their call
As tortured souls start to feel
Why this light is dark

They feel so stark
As they join the fold
Too many lost souls

Fatherland
Swarms of grey
Ready to kill and flay
Faces hidden by gas mask
Bayonets fixed for their task
Out across no man's land
Weapons in hand
The whistles blow
Then Bavaria's sons show
They fall hard and fast
Yet the assault lasts
Smoking guns and piling of shells
1916 year of Hell
Into the forward trench they leap
Like soldiers of yore storming a keep
Brutal combat man to man
Clubs and blades on the van
Clubs cause helms to be...

Divine Mandate
I was chosen by Heaven
Say my name when you pray
God is my protector
I am the holy line
My will is eternity
I am the ruler divine
All of the land shall hear my decree
Question me and die
I hold control over your soul
Come unto me faithful legions
Worship me as the agent of God
Holy Emperor of this continent
Slayer of the heretic and heathen
I deserve your faith
No man alive or dead commands me
I was crowned only by the Lord

False Messiah
I was the spear that impaled you
I was the blade going through
I was the one inverting your cross
I was the one spreading death and loss
I am the champion of the beast
I am the food on which my flock feasts
I am the snuffer of holy life
I am the herald of coming strife
I want your legions to follow me
I want my master to roam bloody and free

Holy Illuminated Savior
My savior and fortune Lord
My sword is eternally yours
By the holy one I'm cleansed
Your light I've seen ever since
Your angels as legions of rays
As fortunate as the luckiest of days
Truthfully I ride into battles
A chant for you my armor rattles
I protect the cause
In holiness I martyr myself without pause
Eternal governor of the Heaven
Protector of the seven
Everlasting warmth from you
Paragon of virtue
Leader of the choir
Source of creation's fire
King of the kings
For you the Seraphim sing ...

Devourer Of The Gods
Lord of fire and rain
Being of ash and pain
Worshipped the first flame
Cities burned in its name
Sacrifices to the fire
A pile of human ash in the deathly mire
How can they see the light?
When someone's flesh is burning tonight
His philosophy is a contradictory haze
The end goal is just to feed the blaze
His followers call him the fire saint
Yet he bears a dark taint
He yearns for more
To the divine pantheon he be brought his war
Empowered...

Couplet Of The Duelists
The battle of two knights
Whose blades are in flight
One fell swoop and it's Edens curse
For better and for worse
One shall fall and join the heavenly host
Fall to blade and embrace of the holy ghost
Offering to the reaper of souls
When slain its beyond your control
Battle pyres burning bright
Each blade reflecting glimmering light
Furies reaching for the sky
Now one must die
I'll write the eulogy for you
Whom ever is run on through
Cold is...
Whose blades are in flight
One fell swoop and it's Edens curse

One shall fall and join the heavenly host

When slain its beyond your control
Battle pyres burning bright
Each blade reflecting glimmering light
Furies reaching for the sky
Now one must die
I'll write the eulogy for you

Bellum Sacrum
And the sun will rise
Dawn breaks through the desert night
A morning made bloody as the arrow flies
Steel drawn ready to fight
They do the Lord's work
In Acre the city prepares for battle
Behind their helms light eyes lurk
Charge through the sand as armor rattles
Lance down as God wills
Read the sacrament before you ride
Steel lance racking up the kills
In the city there is nowhere to hide
The words escape their lips
A prayer to send their enemies into...

Crypt Musings
Somewhere in cofines of the tomb
A pungent reek escapes the room
Sickly sweet breath
Of an exhausted panting death
The corpses eternally sleep
Not worrying about the things that creep
The same can't be said of those below
Where the insects start to show
Though in a week they are still fresh
Soon the beasts come for flesh
But not those sealed away
They may last another day
None disturbs their bones
Even the royals on their thrones
They don't...
