Here Gathering under the Mark of Death Miasma seeps from our blackened breath Gather under the Mark of Death Miasma seeps from our blackened breath In this dark Realm of Decay A Covenant with a God Insane Wage a war on all living flesh Lay to waste - laid to rest Tear the meat from their feeble bones Spit disease in the open wounds Branded at birth; cursed to dwell beneath the earth I see no light - I don't see anything Branded at birth; cursed to dwell beneath the earth I taste the blood - the blood that sets me free Tear the meat away from their feeble bones Spit disease into the open wounds

Xanthous 03:51
Exiled by God's own hand To this dead, forsaken land Punishment for avarice For the pride I felt within I am The Yellow King - A King of Disease My blood is sick and cursed; upon Pure Blood I feed Cast down with blighted form Bloated, oozing and sore My kin ease wounds that won't heal To preserve my sanity I am concealed Blood from flesh-wounds is not enough Only bleeding that kills is sustenance That is the blood that is laced with true fear That is the blood that tastes so sweet

Heart pounding - hands tremble Eyes widening Thrust the spear - swing the hammer Feel the bloodlust setting in For the Lord - For the Land For the Sun and the Stars and the Moon Gaping abyss - beckoning Corrupting Darkness closing in To the death - bitter end Iron will is shattering Sworn Protector - Champion Shouldered burden of mortal men By the light - By the Gods Sacred Vigil will never fall Gaping abyss - beckoning Corrupting Darkness closing in Their Souls crumble Their armour rusts Silent Sentinel Grinding their bones into dust

They cut the rope and I fell down Into a Darkness where I drowned The Sun I once knew seems a million miles away And now I stand before this Kiln of Life in Prophecy But these flames they lick my flesh and strip me to the bone Engulfed in roaring fire - betrayed by serpent tongue Blasphemy past Blackened Gates guised as Pilgrimage Behold my Unholy Prize - Imprisoned in Undeath And now the embers fade and I am alone again My Sun is lost beyond both sky and subterrania I'm feeling hollow - my will is draining out of me Through my obsession I am slipping into insanity A Distant Mirror A fallacy All Sick and Twisted Devouring your Dreams No Sun In this Dying Place No Hope This Distant Mirror breaks
