Verses in Oath
1. An Elegy
2. Boughs Ablaze
In the night’s cold black caress I heed
The flames dancing upon the fresh sawed limbs
And the warnings born in the flickering
Fear not the tales of olde
For they are all that remains
Melodies spoken to beasts within
Vile beings from bottomless depths arise
With bated breath our will is whispered
The inferno forever grows and thrives
The boughs ablaze
Speak of Cimmerian prophecy
The boughs ablaze
Will ward off thе grip of winter
The pyre cracks and spits it’s impеrious will
You must ponder the message at hand
Fog of thyself heaved in rhythmic cadence
Open thine heart to arcane wisdoms
Fear not the tales of olde
For they are all that remains
The boughs ablaze
Speak of Cimmerian prophecy
Of primeval ways
Beyond the boughs ablaze
3. Hearken the End
Mourning - in wind whipped flesh
Sadness - befalls my heart
Blood falls - as a spring doth flow
The stream of tears must end
I stand with withered soul
Alone in my sorrow
Neath the branches of ancient oak
The stream of tears must end
the will of my kin is met with bereavement
For they can leech not my agony
I’ve given birth to desires
Yet forever seek tranquility
Descending into whispers once distant and obscure
Clarity is discerned from their tongues
I lust for an unending coldness
And cry to the light of the moon
One with the breeze that rides on the waves
I am the stone that lies underfoot
My whispers shall rustle the dew covered branches
And forever carry my pain
Purified by my own hand
Lead me to the open gate
In endless lament
I Hearken the end
4. Verses in Oath
Parted stars amidst autumn skies
Heed omens of death's approach
Desperation in bloodshot eyes
Holding fast to the verses in oath
Taste the hardened steel of cold defeat
With bowed head and battered brow
Tot he wretched gallows of modernity
You must serve thine lord with gratitude
Blood drenched hands strike tales of old
Inscribing hissings of serpent's tongue
Those veiled in filthy bovine hides
Command whispers of life's undoing
Weeping in silenced mortality
A sanguine relic of the undivine
Offerings of unending ebb and flow
Struck down by synthesis
Upon black winds flutter ancient whispers
Listen and you shall hear
Verses in Oath
Verses in Oath - faced by filth of lechery
Verses in Oath - in unbroken ancient reverie
Verses in Oath
Forgotten rites struck down
To make way of civilization
With fractured soul a verse is sung
To bring forth procreation
Knowledge lost to the blade of time
Severed with precision and prose
For you know not what you are on this mortal coil
Parted stars 'neath autumn skies
spell a tale of your demise
Desperation met with savagery
What you are is but a fiber
Taste hardened steel of life's defeat
For it is the last that you shall know
Allegiance to the only truths
Shall sever thy threads of being
Verses in Oath
Verses in Oath - faced by filth of lechery
Verses in Oath - in unbroken ancient reverie
Verses in Oath
Upon black winds flutter ancient whispers
Listen and you shall hear
Verses in Oath
5. Lamentation
6. An Offering
Within sorrow drenched soil
Remembrance of past lie
As once scorched earth is tilled with hands bare
Grievous defeat draws ever near
Cursed solitude shed into stone
And so shall the bells of death chime on
The guiding voices call from ancient spring
A hope for kin shall burgeon from this offering
7. Cast into the Well of Remembrance
Of kin whose blood has shed
To shield from the crushing hands of fate
Akin to those whose sorrows
Seep from the depths of innate self
The hollow ground echoes to be answered
By the actions of desperation
No fortune to be told
Moreso a lesson yet to learn
Gaze upon the stone
Its fractured face is telling
Invoke the will to know
And cast into the well of remembrance
Twisting visions of what could be
And that which you have lost
Remembrance found in ancient blood
Push to the edge of sanity
In solitude a chant is heard
From beyond the hollow's edge
From twisted tongues not recognized
A spell is spoken into being
Divination unfolds in the glistening rays
Of moonlight's despondent reach
Thresholds of suffering
Realized
The fragile mind shall see
The horrors that it wills
An omen from within
Frozen in the trance of memory
Gaze upon the hand
Its fractured flesh is bleeding
Accept the fate of one
Cast into the well of remembrance
8. Vessel of Suffering
In the arms of perversity
To the reaches of profanity
Within ornate walls of stone
Voices echo a cry to be avenged
Unchained savagery is a testament of mockery
An aristocracy enshrouded in lies
Veiled in the guise of maternity
Rise - a call to the forlorn souls, tortured and broken
For soon shall come a day of reckoning
How long shall the crime of innocence be betrayed
With fire in our hearts we will to be freed
Upheld by the sacred rites of motherhood’s strength
To sins of the flesh we’re banished forever
Mother of darkness - Arise
Revenge steeped in blood of stillborn child
Mother of darkness - Arise
No more a vessel of suffering
In the arms of perversity
To the reaches of profanity
Within ornate walls of stone
Voices echo a cry to be avenged
9. Enchanted Steel
On snow capped ridge I stand
Well trodden by those before me
With might of self conjuration
Into the fields of equilibrium I tread
Enter darkness with sword at hand
Guided by wandering moon
Oh, boned blade of the enchantress
Deliver me from eternal slumber's reach
Grasp the blade and hold it near
It shall serve to ensure you safe passage
Enchanted steel forged in fires of might
Quenched in the blood of the enchantress
Thorns of transformation tear at flesh
As I traverse the forbidden pathway
I emerge from the depth of tumultuousness
As dawn's rays sear newfound flesh
A power to behold
A relic of times no more
Wisdom to unfold
Cherish the sacred blade
Grasp the blade and hold it near
It shall serve to ensure you safe passage
Enchanted steel forged in fires of might
Quenched int eh blood of the enchantress
10. Veil of Penitence
Tell me of selfish desire - for I know of it not
Of manifested grandeur - the divinely postured rot
To the center of existence my soul is bound
I have flown to the edges of eternity upon faith in tattered wings
With impunity my flesh is scorched by the fires of the unknown
Through the gates of ancient mourning, my journey it must go on
Under the veil truth is held
For the facade of ignorant bliss
Under the veil to forever lie
A nefarious reality to endure
Forgive me not for I have no remorse
In The shroud of night’s cold embrace
Enslave me not for my will is unbroken
Unburdened by the veil of penitence
To the center of existence my soul is bound
I have flown to the edges of eternity upon faith in tattered wings
