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 ...
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...
Being of ash and pain

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

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

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...
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

Charge through the sand as armor rattles

Read the sacrament before you ride
Steel lance racking up the kills
In the city there is nowhere to hide

Light In Heaven And Hell
To boreal Heaven above
To blistering Hell below
When push comes to shove
And the divines must show
Against the serpent deceiver
On the battle plains of night
Harken the call of the believer
Deliver both sides will the light
With prayer on their lips
And offerings give rise
Driven forth by searing whips
As the holy angel flies
...
To blistering Hell below
When push comes to shove
And the divines must show
Against the serpent deceiver
On the battle plains of night
Harken the call of the believer
Deliver both sides will the light
With prayer on their lips
And offerings give rise
Driven forth by searing whips
As the holy angel flies

Hosanna Deus
Blessed in the light
Holy Kingdom of Jerusalem center of might
Sending messages by angel wings
Art thou forever my king?
Grant me thy will deathless
Shepard among the relentless
Sword against the serpent deceiver
Thy light shines through a believer
Son killed on the cross
A death with no loss
Your son you gave
To raise from the grave
Grant us the holy realm
Our crosses adorn our helms
A cross of red on field of white
In the desert...

Infierno
He pasado por una tortura estos últimos 5 años
Mi propio “protector” me dejó en el infierno
Dicen que la religion es para las personas que tienen miedo del infierno
Pero yo tengo espiritualidad porque he pasado por esta tormenta.
No puedo confiar ni en mi propio protector
Esta traición dejó un trauma irreparable en mi alma
No se lo que haré para superarla
Me cuesta continuar con mi vida sabiendo que todo ha cambiado.
“Que hago?” Me pregunto
Tengo un futuro aunque estoy en la mierda?
Hay un lugar para la luz y el...

Majesty Of The Seraph
Songs of light escape their lips
To bless all six wings never clipped
Gathered by the creator's throne
A heavenly choir making sinners atone
Singing the Lord's praise
The mighty are gifted and raised
To be an audience to these higher beings
Whose glow across the universe sheens
Immortal against the flow of time
They speak in melodies and rhyme
For their music is for...

What it Means to be Pagan
The magick of life is all around me,
The heart and soul of the Earth, the sky, and the sea,
Are constantly calling out to me,
Saying "this is my home. This is where I am meant to be."
In a world wrapped in amber fire,
Whispering it's warmth, like the sweet song of a Lyre,
Of the sun and of the moon,
That I will not leave anytime soon.
A love I have found beneath my feet, and above my head,
More beautiful than in any books I have read,
In the energy all around me, ...
The heart and soul of the Earth, the sky, and the sea,
Are constantly calling out to me,
Saying "this is my home. This is where I am meant to be."
In a world wrapped in amber fire,
Whispering it's warmth, like the sweet song of a Lyre,
Of the sun and of the moon,
That I will not leave anytime soon.
A love I have found beneath my feet, and above my head,
More beautiful than in any books I have read,
In the energy all around me, ...

Whim Of A Darkspawn
Chaotic is the night
As dawn dies so does the light
Out come the shadow's dance
Lulling the world to the stillness of a trance
Making the seers blind
And darkening the mind
Making sinners out of saints
Morningstar reveals his taint
Deeds done under cover of dark
All bearing evil's unholy mark
God turns a blind eye
To his creations as they suffer and die
Tonight the demons ride
A lust for sin deep inside
Spreading an unholy blaze
...
As dawn dies so does the light

Lulling the world to the stillness of a trance

All bearing evil's unholy mark
God turns a blind eye
To his creations as they suffer and die
Tonight the demons ride
A lust for sin deep inside
Spreading an unholy blaze

Semper Inferi
All burn in the firey place
Tormented by a demonic race
Realm of the infernal
Relish in pain eternal
Impaled on an obsidian sword
A sacrifice for his infernal Lord
A fate equal to lice
Flames burn and consume twice
All accept pain in beast's lair
A demon and damned form a pair
An unholy union of blood
To roast in magma and boiling mud
An infernal choir of screams
Punishment from Lucifer's dreams
Soon you may atone
Purified you...
Tormented by a demonic race
Realm of the infernal
Relish in pain eternal
Impaled on an obsidian sword
A sacrifice for his infernal Lord
A fate equal to lice
Flames burn and consume twice
All accept pain in beast's lair
A demon and damned form a pair
An unholy union of blood
To roast in magma and boiling mud
An infernal choir of screams
Punishment from Lucifer's dreams
Soon you may atone
Purified you...

Villanelle Nr.09 — A Question Of Definition
He said he called a spade a spade
but ‘facts’ can vary quite a lot
since definitions can be vague
and as the arguments are weighed
the truth is often hard to spot -
he said he called a spade a spade.
Consider laws and how they’re made
which lawyers twist, then leave to rot
since definitions can be vague
and look how science fails the grade
one day a ‘fact’, next day it’s not -
he said he called a spade a spade.

Shine Of The Morningstar
Since time of creation fate of man is that of lice
Equal as parasites and moving like the lowly mice
A day of reckoning is here and penance shall burn
Chant the praise and you shall learn
Fallen kings questioning their faith
Their religion is crushed by the wraith
At new dawn's rise
Recognize now and behold the Lord of Flies
He will quell the nations
As victims to fall for the seven temptations
An eternal night where there is no sun
No place for the holy to run ...
Equal as parasites and moving like the lowly mice
A day of reckoning is here and penance shall burn
Chant the praise and you shall learn
Fallen kings questioning their faith
Their religion is crushed by the wraith
At new dawn's rise
Recognize now and behold the Lord of Flies
He will quell the nations
As victims to fall for the seven temptations
An eternal night where there is no sun
