1. Offerings Of Jade And Blood

For a king has passed away, the ruler of a great dynasty.
Dig the pit and consecrate the ground with the sacrifice of nine armed guards found.
Frame the chamber out with wooden walls with the slaves of royalty who are called.
For splendor and savegry this is done but the funeral has only begun.

Dogs Interred at the guards side to watch the tomb out of the light.
The spirits of evil will not be left to grim as the coffin is now carried in.
Grave is the food supply left with the king so he will not starve in his final state of being.
The end of the burial is now drawing near and the covenant now becomes clear.
For a king must forever have his wealth, great riches of bronze are placed upon his shelf.

While ruling his land he was very fond of Jade.
Within his final resting place this is now laid.
Looking up at the slopes leading round the prisoners of war are being led down.
For these sixty souls will surely start to cringe as the Bloodletting now begins.

Offerings of jade and blood feel the wrath as red runs.
Offerings of jade and blood, now the time has come.
Offerings of jade and blood, feel the wrath as red runs.

Down on their knees begging for mercy their cries are empty pleas.
Quickly the Blade falls no more endless calls under the cruel laws.
Heads drop to the floor followed by more and more the trench is filled in gore.
Watch the thrall supply deplete their lives are now obsolete ceremony is complete.

2. A Gaze Into Everdark

As the night sky calls my soul asking me to fly forever free,
seeing beauty in gracious darkness for all of eternity.
Serenade my Innerself release the walls that in turn bind me,
waiting in line to look upon a cauldron for something I may never see.

Can you hear the silence, As it echoes.
From left to right, through corridors.
My thought are cleansed, No impurities.
The assay is passed, Know not failure.
Seek the future for the knowledge.
Seek the knowledge for the future.
Find the past for the truth.
Find the truth in the past.

Trade a sect of your life for the piece of the puzzle you wish to find.
Like the Sphinx's great riddle a part of the superior masters rhyme.
Take the hand of the mighty priest to lead and guide me on my quest.
Stare into a deep black ring a gaze into everdark.

As the night sky calls my soul asking me to fly forever free,
seeing beauty in gracious darkness for all of eternity.
Serenade my Innerself release the walls that in turn bind me,
waiting in line to look upon a cauldron for something I may never see.

3. In The Depths Of A Labyrinth

The legend at hand is one of old and spoken by men of one hundred fold
The end reveals riches and gold, cast in darkness, underneath the earth it lies
Hear the victims ghastly cries as they slowly lose their lives, minds bewildered

Not a shed of hope in sight, no brightness to be guided by
Except the flicker of a light, by the flame, one with a heart so bold,
Strength and might which cannot be told enters the maze of caverns below, penitent
Enter he does against all consciousness, shadows eyes watching from corners, cracks and crevices
Mysterious is the puzzle as he encounters the toils, greed guides him on
Going untouched through tricks and traps, pursuing wealth

Magical are the walls that stand so high, mythical are the tales that one survived
Enter and those to shall find, their lives will soon be left behind Come forth step into the light
Labyrinth twists and turns of fright, recognize you must lose to win
Prepare to once again begin

Getting on to the final stage of this journey, in silence scheming with the assets he yet has
Blinding out of nowhere shines a gleam so bright glorious site his time arrives
Magical are the walls that stand so high, mythical are the tales that one survived
Enter and those to shall find, their lives will soon be left behind Come forth step into the light
Labyrinth twists and turns of fright, recognize you must lose to win
Prepare to once again begin

At one with the means he so greatly pursued.
Noticing not the wall that shuts behind him now
Sadly he must die with what he so aspired to.

4. Aggressive Dynasty

This dominion has been ruled to long by those known as Hyksos and
I Komose prince of Thebes
Vow to destroy to the utmost
Thus my armies of upper Egypt shall sail upon the great Nile
For all the years of oppression and cruelty their souls soon shall fly
Fly, To heavens skies
Fly, Spirits rise
With my legions before me like a fiery flame in the nigh
A Hyksos vessel commands a force and confront us by the break of light
Upon them like a hawk I close in, Lions feasting on their prey
We continue to destroy on throughout until mid day
Take slaves for our use, years of abuse
War goes on for weeks
Their armies are becoming bleak
There is no where to turn
Their ships we shall burn
Suddenly I feel, A piercing makes me shrill
An arrow through my heart
My inner soul shall part
Part Ahmose successes me
Make their end complete
Dynasty, aggressive dynasty
They made a dynasty
Aggressive dynasty

5. War Of The Rings

Thus the story is told of the war of the rings,
Of the dark lord and the orcs and the foulest of beings,
Of the plague and the darkness that spread like a fire,
Of the eagles in the sky which soar so much higher,
Of the wizards and the dwarfs and the mightiest of all men,
Of the halfling and the task which carried all the burden,
Of the kings and the queens and the forest filled with elves,
Thus it is told on the greatest of all tales

Beware the black hand reaching from above
The armies of evil stretching like an ocean
Wolves and men engulfed in a blood bath
The armies of the virtuous will spread their wrath
Majority of the war rests on he who carries the ring
Into the mouth of the malefic king
If the one is cast into the eternal fire
The good will likely triumph and the world will again be brighter
Fiercely fighting, raging, dying, thousands slain, cast down not in vain
Day after day, night by night, mighty catastrophe, middle earth has ever seen

Thus the story is told of the war of the rings,
Of the dark lord and the orcs and the foulest of beings,
Of the plague and the darkness that spread like a fire,
Of the eagles in the sky which soar so much higher,
Of the wizards and the dwarfs and the mightiest of all men,
Of the halfling and the task which carried all the burden,
Of the kings and the queens and the forest filled with elves,
Thus it is told on the greatest of all tales.

6. For Your Comprehension

Inside me anger builds like a blaze from below
Mindlessness causing this that is out of control
Inferior are the thoughts and ideas which you think
For the light at the end of your tunnel is to late

Do not taint the ground in which I walk on
Do not defile, the air in which I intake
For you and your cortege are disillusioned
Disciples of this dreadful epidemic

The intellectual has no meaning, as I lay silently screaming
for those of simplicity to awake and reach for the edge that I take
Looking down up from this tower, I watch those shake and cower
The time shall come and none to soon, when all the frail shall meet their doom
Let the weak play with weak, let the skilled be by skilled
Let the sounds that are clear soak in and be filled,
In the heads and the hearts of the ones that are true
Like the moon in the sky it will surely shine through

Do not taint the ground in which I walk on
Do not defile, the air in which I intake
For you and your cortege are disillusioned
Disciples of this dreadful epidemic

7. Constellations Embellished With Chaos

8. Calm Before The Storm

Fell the wind blow across the moon lit sky
Sense it coming with from deep inside
Never in the deepest darkest dreams you dread,
Did you think that this would come but it has

Listen, hear us call with the gusts when it least expected
Blasts of the snare fall like hail across the horizon
Pulling at the core crafted by hands of lords
Violence filled with fury lightning strikes now it has arrived,
As it drives

This is the storm, the storm that will rip your souls apart
This is the storm, feel it pound within your heart
This is the storm, The storm that will steal the breath from you
This is the storm, Leaves you gasping and cuts right through

The wretched voices that you hear slowly begin to take you in
The wretched voices that concur there will be no equal ever again low end
rumble shakes the ground making a volcanic sound
If there were lava it wouldnt pour but beat you down like you were a whore

Embraced without arms when all is done thus we return again,
Like a wave drowning you in a sea of black that
Leaves not a thing, not a trace, of the power that has passed,
Memories all thats left no doubt you will meet it again
And again

This is the storm, the storm that will rip your souls apart
This is the storm, feel it pound within your heart
This is the storm, The storm that will steal the breath from you
This is the storm, Leaves you gasping and cuts right through

All the silence has been broken and the eye has passed on by
The plurality has spoken even though one has not died
Keep an eye cast high above the moon and stars and weary nights
For when its least expected thats when the storm arrives
