Firetop Mountain
Where the earth meets sky, drinking deep, hear her sigh
Trembling, dawn ascends, mystic crown, reigning down
Summoning the seed of life, Anu, divine rule
In cosmic dreams of primal sleep, Firetop Mountain breathes
“Dark winds born, the earth is torn”
from the sky…
“The Kingdom of Gods arise
In the garden of Paradise, the gods will play today…”
Blood and clay, blood and clay
Blood and clay, a God has died today
Mankind (is) unborn
“Dark winds born, the earth is torn”
When the earth feeds the night, drinking deep, hear her sigh
Whispering, the graveyard breathes, this legacy of demise
Delivering, death supreme, Skyfather, immortal dream
In cosmic dreams of primal sleep, Firetop Mountain Bleeds….

Embalmed Embrace

Embalmed Embrace
Dance, the last dance, limbs entwined, death divine
Chorus “All that you wish for all that you dream
Your God is dead and so are we”
They once, marched in chains, but now parade, procession day
Hand, hand in hand, golden flowers in their hair
“And so, they descend, into the tomb
Into the tomb, to the darkness below…”
Slip into the mist…
Drink the poison deep, the sweetest kiss that leads to abyss
Sleep, the dreamless sleep, shadows keep, life retreats
Chorus “All that you wished for all that you dreamed
Your Gods are dead and so are we”
Greet the fading day, as all light now slips away
Drift through earths recess, murky depths, fathomless
“And so, in the vast nothingness, in the dreary, cavernous realm of Kur
They clung to each other for in death they did not part…”
Down, darkness takes, Dismal shapes, shadow wraiths
Each path they take the same miserable fate (through 7 gates)
Dust, each meal partake, forever dwell, with Ereshkigal!
Forever…

The Oldest Gods
“Beyond the subterranean seas, beyond the arcane green,
Far from the oceans azure gaze, forgotten,
Where the earth was as cold as the stars above,
Beyond the 7 Gates and man’s feeble gait
The Mother of all gods sleeps, abandoned by the world…”
Cosmic wisdom betrayed,
Desecration steals their names…
Enkil, Enlil, Ninhursag, Nanna, Utu, Inanna!
Sumer’s lost, the seasons change,
Twilight leaves the ember age
Empires demise, fallen…
Like a grief-stricken bride, alone, they cry
Tears fell from the sky (That night)
Forgotten children… of the Skyfather
Cursed, despise, a memory malign
Banished by man… Heart-broken plight
“Once burning in the hearts of men, the embers fade away
Now carried on the winds, the gods of yesterday
Once sailing on gentle streams, they sunk in violent seas
In a world that waded deep to drown the past beneath…”
Temples scorched, their Palaces burn
Spurned Faith, faith destroyed, God-Kings Butchered, servants slain
Bleeding… departing on the crimson sea
Kings of many kingdoms wait with Queens on wisdom’s shore
In silence watching over them all… In darkness wait for dawn…

Wake

Wake
“Yeah, alright, come on, it’s time...
Celebrate, at the graves for gods
wake at the graves for gods”
Twisted roots oaken arms embrace
All that was, reclaimed
“Come on, it’s time...
Celebrate, at the graves for gods
wake at the graves for gods”
Seed springs forth reborn, rejoice
Rejoice when death is called
This tapestry of bones, grows!
This tapestry of bones...
“Consume their hearts
Consume their minds
Body of soil”
Eater of life
Unchain the soul
When the bell tolls…
