As the dust sinks to the soil to bury the bones Those left behind crack their eyes upon this shattered stone Beholding ashen oceans of holocaust The meagre minds of men cannot comprehend Loss in such capacity The foul truth guts their hearts Collapsing in the pallid sands of life deceased Blessed to survive, cursed to be alive In perpetual perdition till they cease to breathe Tarnished and torn, they move on To find another world where they belong This wilted kin will grow again Under the guiding light of their Crescent King So they writhe in their woes, seething in their blight From the deepest, darkest pits of their wretched souls A feeble flame endures as they witness pure Light of golden grace cleaving the sombre skies A shooting star aligning their common fate Found in the heart of the crater's fiery depths Their messiah returned to flesh Crowned as their saviour He who defied his fate Now destined for greater Their smouldering faith Now rekindled within Hail the Crescent King Stride into the darkness in perpetuity Dive into the parlous seas of vacuity Thus, their journey begins In pilgrimage to their forthcoming promised land A new dawn at hand Forsaking their sins and the stories of old A new tale shall be told as the universe unfolds Tarnished and torn, they move on To find another world where they belong This wilted kin will grow again Under the guiding light of their Crescent King This wilted kin will grow again Under the guiding light of their Crescent King

Usurpers 05:22
Upon this end of eventide a fateful plot ensued The morbid usurpation of the throne Silently they slither to commit the grievous sin In regicidal ritual, they raise their blades as the bloodshed begins Spewed out by the swirling abyss They peered through the windowpanes with bittersweet bliss Unto a realm unknown Still the King's path to paradise was filled with loss Faith yet remained, but who was to bear the cross? A seed of doubt sown in the least devout Bathed in black, they converge as darkness falls In a clandestine congregation Foul usurpers, all Upon this end of eventide a fateful plot ensued The morbid usurpation of the throne Silently they slither to commit the grievous sin In regicidal ritual, they raise their blades as the bloodshed begins It festered midst the colony A pustule of apostasy In search of hearth and haven They scoured this system of solar twins And the foreign worlds within Each one bewitching to witness Yet these lands were not as foretold A terrifying truth dawned on their souls Through pyroclastic torrents and lakes of rot Desolate monolith forests with leviathans ruling the storms above Planets aplenty in this cursed realm All unfit for man to dwell Bathed in black, they converge as darkness falls In a clandestine congregation Foul usurpers, all They trusted in his guiding light With naught but death to show Upon this fatal fall of night His last breath, they shall bestow Upon this end of eventide a fateful plot ensued The morbid usurpation of the throne Silently they slither to commit the grievous sin In regicidal ritual, they raise their blades to kill the king Fiercely the daggers descend like guillotines Drowning the sheets in sanguine streams Petrified as the chamber abruptly comes alight They gaze into the martyr's impostrous bloodshot eyes Forced to their knees Sentenced to die by the king's decree Left to suffocate in the cruel vacuum of space

Growth for growth's sake is a cancerous doctrine Everything touched by man grows so very stale On his own sits the vainglorious sovereign Yearning for a fitting end to his tale To solely serve oneself Is to rule over none You had it all In the palm of your hand Yet by holding on too tightly You ended up smothering your land Bored of your people You toyed with their lives Slowly plucking their wings Like worthless flies Did you think yourself a god? Your kind has called me by many a name Choose your delusion, it's all the same I am one and all I gave you life eternal and made you king To see how far you could fly on borrowed wings Now you beg for mercy For your misery to cease But this is your kingdom come Forever, where you shall be Chewed more than you could eat Your only god is greed A lord of lifeless lands is no lord at all Long may he reign in atrophy Rotting in his endless majesty Were you the one truly pulling the strings? Or were you merely a pawn? Everyone is a slave to something For the curse of life, is the curse of want Bled to the bone In planetary ecocide Countless worlds collapsed Feeding the monster, you designed Thus left with nothing else Your leech had to feast upon itself You sentenced your kin to death When you became their saviour Now all you have left Is a microcosm of human failure From wilderness to wasteland None are quite like those made by your hand And for that you shall repent In the never-ending nightmare of an endless end On his own sits the vainglorious sovereign Yearning for a fitting end to his tale Long may he reign in atrophy Rotting in his endless majesty
