The Edge Of Agony Triumph is the first syllabus I despise your kind weak, frightened in the face of reality do you feel my blade inside your pluck? You proved your worth, earn my awe Now shall you call upon the second Mercurial Count, I shall be obliged, I shall be obliged, Samaël be my witness... Do not foul yourself with joy as victory is not eternal. The man staring back in the mirrors of old will always reflect your triumph of failures. Keep it high and my guidance will be yours let it go and my blade will kiss your flesh. You proved your worth, earn my awe Now shall you call upon the second Mercurial Count, I shall be obliged, I shall be obliged, Samaël be my witness... but thou art toddler and my blood and until we meet again I'll love and slaughter your siblings with all my heart and rusted... ...steel!

Smell the taste of decay and let your reflexion materialize in front of our two eyes... in front of our two eyes! Thou shall name me Azraa-eel... I shed tears of light and gather souls in my midst. Don't hesitate to walk and reach out for my memories with me, to understand what I feel. You & I will speak, fantasize I will show you how to smelt decay into a Light of Darkness we shall be a wave that will consume it all, a wave that will wash away all scourges and innocence. And like me thou shall be named... Azraël. Thus spoke Azraël 9. Nerxiarxin Mahathallah Hear your child! Born of a voice untimely the echo of men's ordure dropped in a wood consciously. Nurturers!
