Eviternity

A task divine, with Healing blessings cleanse A legion loyal, shadow-clad in united cause I, the Holy Blade with silver radiant Mentors of the moon, swallow my despair O derelict town, I raise you in crusade Abyssal voices guide my bloodied hand in your name In ceaseless suffering, must I forever reign? Cursed abomination of beastly blood Lost to the blood, in abject tyranny Is this my redemption at last? I, the Holy Blade, light's chosen once more Mentors of the moon, sing to me in repose

Ash yield omniscience as clouds obscure Fountains from their palms Foreboding giants What of the ones who put out their eyes? Are they granted semblance of sight? Beseeching, bless us as well Burrowed beneath the watchful gaze A name lost in detritus Cradling a cratered head cast down in resignation It spoke to us, once There’s a solace in insight Blanketed in supposition Fractal outgrowths obscure Bound together in the fall Eyes implanted along the inner Cry for blessings unattained I, a penitent petitioning My curdled husk, frozen, remains Spiral through paths unending Howl to callous ears Conjure remnants fading A sliver appears

On kneaded soil, sparse imprints wander Ensconced in solitude Circling beneath the tower, a cavalcade of failures Through mirrored haze await opalescent figures To harvest goes yearning falcon With zeal behind her eyes Twin relics remain, belying foregone butchery In ruin collapses the sky Swirling in vain, in shambles Forgive us this vile gesture O ruined hamlet Emerging with hand outstretched Fading on somber shore Wailing one, a final hope Alabaster immortal

Fall by anointed edge Trusted haft at ready Forged in faith enduring Relic of dogma lost As the cycle begins With brother amber-clad Once more into the horde All mercy forsworn This righteous endeavor Twin starlings Aegis in moonlight Ungodly, now severed Catharsis in brittle melody Through these murky waters wade Struggle to surface Draw breath on blessed day In shackles succumb Dear darling of hazy visage To arms of hope return Salvage the genuine By song to awaken true Tear them all out Cut them all down Deliverance an option foregone Effigy blackened sundered and lost For a moment, clarity frail Remnants subsumed and carnage prevails

Beguiling eyes they divide With crumbling glares deaden Fallacious to remain Decency shall they possess Mellifluous flame Gaze across the farthermost Cast in utter debris A baleful reminder Forfeit it may When we deprave Fear not the flame As we shall decay Law's mournful ends defied against elated design Lingering echoes for an immutable sere line Iridescent shape sundered the last adamants Cry in reveries and summon indifference Fathomless void, dim-lit and solitary Foresee the past under crimson moonrise Forfeit it may When they deprave Fear not the flame As they shall decay Transcending, deceiving, dismaying If once allowed Gathering O dear fate Let it come to wither away Set them in another laceration While portraying a trembling day

Bent in solemn furtive toil Starward stretch with shackled sight Cultivate within our godhood Beckoning for exalted union To the convergence venture There harvest holy blessings Trace essence of our forbearers From labyrinthine coils culled Hail, sacred restoration Glorious once-dormant gift Begin the sacred ministration Endless the ancient boon In throes of hallowed reverence, A bygone augury rings Ingest the artery to ascend the cerebral Imbibe the curative to fortify the vessel Petrified in vacuous desertion Wreathed eternal in unquenched flame

Wrought iron and chain-laced sarcophagi Cobblestones bathed in moonlight Polished slick by shambling footfalls A ritual assembly gathers As the moon descends, so do they all into madness Reveling in unchained secrets Unwitting hosts of ruin and rot Come to me, ye unwitting outsider Traverse my streets and give no quarter Band together in blood-drenched union Blades united in eternal purpose Even in death we are never alone Bound in slumber unending As the moon descends, so do they all into madness Reveling in unchained secrets Unwitting hosts of ruin and rot Embrace this bloody burden An ancient choice already made Take the mantle of so many fallen Shepherds through this endless night Ever in dreams we are never alone Bound in slumber unending
