The ghosts of reprisal and strife

To Arrogance comes Inception)
I hath fathered deceit.....

Of council to Lucifer, Belial spoke
of treachery among the Zonei.
To render wretched dogs
from whence they came..

I hath fathered hypocrisy..

I feel their gaze upon me
Eyes of freezing fire
Burning of funeral pyre
The aura of deceit..
None must be spared..
The crown of bitter night..
Of stygian council rebel angels
took host to rent the heavens of
the elder menace.. To fill the seas
of beasts that Leviathan herself should take heed of.
Vast was the expanse as
Marduk strode upon the rebel
angels host.. Hear me summoner!
Hearken and know that your
time upon the throne of disease is diminishing..
With stature of behemoth Lucifer took up arms.....

(Scorching of the Skies)
Time of strife..
Path of war...
With haste Satan's host of
rebel angels unleashed fury upon Marduk..
Unaware of elder fathers waiting
upon the wings of unfettered fury..
With blinding rays of venomous
light elder gods lashed upon them..
Sanguine sky.. Angelic entrails
rain upon the earth.. Remember!
Lucifer.. Upon throne stands with
fear of twilight.. Summon malice!
Burning gaze.. Eyes of malice, f
reezing the night.. Hear my cries!
Ruination.. Your time has come to
pass master of flies.. The fallen!

(The Tranquil Storm)
A great calm crept over the lands..
Once more the sun laid its rays
upon the lands of earth. A new
beginning had come to pass.
Malice had fallen from the skies..
Tho the earth in ruins, spirits
would be born anew to cleanse the lands
once more.. As mother earth lamented on that day...

Ishtar, lady of the gate of the
gentle planet.. Open wide thy gate..
Queen of women, Deity of men..
I pray to thee.. Hearken and remember!
Race of Men!
O' bright and eternal rising,
torch of the heavens and earth.. I beckon..
In the name of covenants sworn
between gods and men.. Barra Ishtar!
Race of Men!
Eternal tranquility..
Placid Eternity...

The black seas are swelling....
The darkly shining abyss..

Marduk, God of victory over the dark angels
Lord of all the lands of the foreboding earth
Son of Enki, master of magick and magicians
Vanquisher of the ancient ones of times ago
Who assigns the wanderers their places
Who assigns the wanderers their spaces...
