Otherworld
Where ere thou hast been
Here or in yon world manifest
Canst thou tell
What is, or what was or what is to come?
No thing shall last
And there are things
That shall never change
History is written in blood
Yet are battles really lost
On the battlefields?
Canst thou tell me whence thou comest
And where thou goest
And what is, or what was, or what is to come?
For everything remains as it never was
Everything Remains As It Never Was
Who will measure the dimensions of Antumnos?
Who can tell the gauge of its veil?
Who can manifest the size of its maw?
And infer the value of its stones?
Yet the glowing wick will not be quenched
The sown fire will never die
What is
What ever was
What ever is to come
What would
What ever should
It will remain as it never was
Eternity's past was repeated in time
The eternal knot will be unbroken
Whence comes the motion in this picture?
Where does the moment go when it steals away?
Who will pen the pages of time?
Who will be the audience when the curtain rises?
Yet the glowing wick will not be quenched
The sown fire will never die
What is
What ever was
What ever is to come
What would
What ever should
It will remain as it never was
Where do we go?
What have we become?
Whither went what was?
Shall there ever be dawn?
Did we ever change?
What is
What ever was
What ever is to come
What would
What ever should
It will remain as it never was
What is
What ever was
What ever is to come
What would
What ever should
It will remain as it never was
Thousandfold
Sprinkled by the trappings
Of words that make the outlines
Blur on the showplace of made history
The folk is willed
To parrot the dishes up tale
The lure of a higher meaning
Cheat to had to create
An enemy stereotype
To receive your absolution
A frothy poor excuse for your foray
To disengage from deeps
Of your encumbrance
[Chorus]
Behold
All our gold
Thousandfold
Bereave me
Declined
Truths ensign
Forever mine
Bereave me
March in with ten legions
Whilst the crucial weapons not the pilum
But the feather held in your hand
Penned in blood
Your tall-tales rule the forum
Altering it into the battlefield
I, the spectral guise
Evoking these barring fears
Pestering your conscript fathers
I smile at my demise and while I die
I cherish the roots of my perseverance
[Chorus]
Nil
Curtain's up for this lurid age
Clear the ring for oppression and greed
Welcome to this wasteland
Of blight and havoc
Once known as my home
Deleting fulfilled
Erasing procedure done
Cleansing complete
It's done, my friend
It's over and done
There was nothing left
But the smell of salassian blood
Nil and nothing left
But the braying void in our homes
I never forgot the eyes of the kids
Wrested from their moms
To be sold into slavery
I still can hear
The cries of the raped
And the bellow of the flames
The hymn of absurd death
Heed the chronicles
Of lucrative genocide
The annals of effaced tribes
Pages written in blood
Ave Caesar Augustus
It's done, my friend
It's over and done
The Essence Of Ashes
And it came to pass in those leaden days
That a plain, poor man got sick of his yoke of condemned soil
And a foreign empire's hungry purse
Time to replace pitchfork with sword
And sound the anthem of sheer rebellion
Enough
Once too often
Enough is enough
We strive not for war
We just crave to have our home
We just seek to have our rights
That our fathers used to have
But we tasted the grime and blood
We tasted the essence of ashes
A glowing spark
Rising up from blazing flames
To lead the forlorn and and wroth
The epitome of hope and freedom
A daring venture
A frenetic attempt
When Amandus was slain
The Bagaudae still sang

Kingdom Come Undone
While the noose is tightening
You still sit here on your fleeting throne
So busy with your own little feuds
And your own blinker crowns
But we all are Gauls
And we are free at least by now
So take the fucking plunge
Rise and unite
Arise
United we'll stand
This is V for vengeance
This is V for vehemence
This is V for victory
This is V for Vercingetorix
Let them feel the Gaulish violence
Impetuous furor
The bite of our blades
Let them see our freedom's ensign
Let us raise our clenched fists in pride
What benefit will it be
To save your crowns but forfeit your freedom at last?
We are one folk and we can make a stand
So lay down your crowns now
Rise and unite
Unite
Arise
United we'll stand
Bestir
Wake up
As one, we'll prevail
This is V for verdict
This is V for valour
This is V for venture
This is revolt
This is kingdom come undone
Quoth The Raven
[Verse 1]
I, am the mystery
And I, am the bringer of moonless night
Bear the wisdom arcane
I, harbinger from the burrowed isle
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Once you break forth
Hearken the flap of my wings
[Chorus]
Haunt your fears
Though you don't know of my duty to lead
Your path, because I'll take, you home
To rest in my black wings, enfolding you
[Verse 2]
I am the icon sublime
The guide on the voyage, clandestine
Sing the verses bewailed
I, torch of the radiant way
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Once you step out
Hearken the strokes of my wings
Once you will leave your cocoon
I will be there
[Chorus]
Haunt your fears
Though you don't know of my duty to lead
Your path, because I'll take, you home
To rest in my black wings, enfolding you
[Bridge]
And death will smile his barefaced smile
Initiating your final anguish
It is not before my arrival
That you will be lead to feel the natural serenity of leaving this world...
Hear my wings caressing the wind
Hear my cry
[Chorus]
Haunt your fears
Though you don't know of my duty to lead
Your path, because I'll take, you home
To rest in my black wings, enfolding you
(Do)Minion
I, the vermin, the leader, the failure
Brother, I shall not weep when you meet your doom
Not again, I shall be your saviour
This nation is moribund, you just can't see
We have to align with the mighty
Lose your soul or lose your life
In the name of Gallia, in the name of my tribe
In the name of my greed, I became the minion
In the name of the Gauls, in the name of the kneeled
In the name of the fold, the name of the sold, I became the lie
Brother, I shall not weep when you sail to the isles, Atlantic or otherworldly
Be my sentence, be my punishment, be the sword to pierce my heart
You dared to contest my dear-bought crown for glories extinct
You waged to evoke my wrath, my weakness and my innermost craving for...
Gallia, in the name of my tribe
In the name of my greed, I became the minion
In the name of the Gauls, in the name of the kneeled
In the name of the fold, the name of the sold, I became Rome's slave
Dumnorix, I did quite weep when I betrayed us all
To save us all at the threshold of our demise
Be my penance, be my nemesis
For I sold my soul...
In the name of Gallia - welcome me, ferryman
In the name of my greed - welcome me, ferryman
In the name the Gauls, in the name of the kneeled
In the name of the fold, the name of the sold, I came to die

Sempiternal Embers
Glowing and blazing in the wind of times
Ever lit, searching and fathoming
The fire's arcane consuming flames
Sparks to imbue our very souls
Pervading the very breath of life
Flickering from the depths of eternity
Never asleep, never extinct
Not ever ceasing to gleam
Never sear the sempiternal embers
Never profaned, never fail
Not ever ceasing to refine
Never forfeit, never faint
The sempiternal embers
The essence of being, the form of existance
Forever inflamed with passion, heart of hearts
Burning so bright, yet clandestine
Gleaming in the lair of the powers to be
The four mighty ones the high kings concealed
Giving birth to the glimmer within
Incessantly fostering the flames...
Glowing and blazing in the wind of times
Ever lit, searching and fathoming
Sparks to imbue our very souls
Lugdūnon
We set forth, a retinue with steed and cart
So we roved the land stealthily
We sallied out to find new shores
As the passage led
Set sail, ye hearts into the sea of hope
The druid blessed this mount foreseen
We grudged no pains, we faced distress
Yet a glowing wick kindles fire...
Alike, a liminal place, a dormant beacon we faced
The haven foretold a fortress of ages to come
At the rise of a new dawn, woke the daughter of the sun
Wafted on black wings, vastly soaring boding skies
We followed the rites of old
As we took out the ordained new land
We held our breath as the skies got black
And a storm arose, a swarm of crows
Lo and behold! The black birds branched out
A circle wide in the riven skies
They lined the nemeton of the fulgent hill
And again, and again, and again the presage witnessed
Alike, a liminal place, a dormant beacon we faced
The haven foretold a fortress of ages to come
Adiantunne ni exverti
Adiantunne ni nappisetu
Adiantunne ni exverti
Adiantunne ni nappisetu
At the rise of a new dawn, woke the daughter of the sun
Wafted on black wings, vastly soaring boding skies
At the rise of a new dawn, woke the daughter of the sun
Wafted on black wings, vastly soaring boding skies
The Liminal Passage
