Hulder 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
