The Sentry 07:16
​ The forest matches on Leaves rustle from a whisper Embers grow into a flame The ground trembles in their wake I signal the guardsmen Cosigning their demise "Brace yourselves now, Or run for your lives!" Put the bolt on the frame Pull back the string HOLD TAKE AIM FIRE AT WILL The towers topple over As we are overwhelmed Our display of force Overcome by their swell. They reach for me Grasping at my mail Ripping from my body My limbs and entrails. the last thing I see the swarm finding their king and setting ablaze the fortress walls The people spoke and what they said, "Power to the people, not the one at the top." Death to the heart, The jewel of the kingdom. Take back what is ours! Break the chains!

Bog Witch Alive! This swamp is alive. Brambles catching my footsteps, Thorny pricks in my stride. Bog fumes fill my lungs Fueling dark rituals. Witch culling the flock, Swamp magic calls. Left to rot In the bog, Demonized And cast away. Vengeance For the wicked, Feeding on lambs Led astray. Witch! Do not stray For I await, Begging for blood, Praying for death. I am the demon. I am your nightmare, Beckoning you To your violent sleep. Condemned. I am condemned To decompose, To rot, To become This bog. Witch!

We are ghosts We haunt the halls of every person we come to know The flies on the wall for all of life's events "How you been? How's the family?" "We're going to Florida for the fucking week!" "How's the kids? How's the family?" "We're going to Florida for the fucking week!" "How're your kids? How's the family?" "We're going to Florida for the fucking week!" Fuck you! The flies on the wall in your room Turn away from the ugly truth. "We're better than this" We all are Your pain's not a shared experience The ears on the walls don't speak And these mouths aren't fucking listening Go up onto that stage Bare yourself for the world to see Take hold of the vanity Inside of you Sink into your solitude Sink into your solitude Go up onto that stage Bare yourself for the world to see Sink into your solitude Long live your misery Sink into your solitude Sink into your solitude Keep sinking keep sinking Keep sinking keep sinking Keep sinking

Pariah 05:22
It visited again, Quietly creeping in, Or was it with applause? Maybe a violent coup. It stared into my heart, Through my eyes and nerves. Bleeding it's putrid stench Into my heart, into my blood. Until all at once, I was there again, But I wasn't really there. And the people around Preyed upon me, Sparing no morsel of dignity, No shred of catharsis left. And just as suddenly as it came, It went again. And so did I arrive again, Where I had departed. The vision of what I must do in my mind. I'll go to the tallest cliff. I will climb. Throw myself to the stones. Break free from this prison my soul. The summit is within my sight. I spread my arms to take flight. Valkyries, hear my call! Carry me to the halls Of my fathers before. Sail me to golden shores. Fly!

Upon golden boar, In sylvan halls New life is born From his call Out onto The plain of war Rides out the god Of seed and spore Weapons are not needed this day, He rejoices, With bare hands he slays Hail Freyr God of the earth Hail Freyr God of the earth Looking out to the horizon A host of giant's steel shines in the sun Alone he sits upon his mount He spurs it towards the enemy band He rips them apart Limb from limb Dragging their bodies through the fields Sewing the seeds of ancients With blood from the enemy's heads Hail Freyr The god of the earth Holy grove forest arise Ingvi-Frey returns to Alfheim's halls The forces of evil again did fall Muscles torn and covered in blood He treats his battered skin with mead and mud His body is tired, his kingdom is won His body is tired, his kingdom is won He sits in blissful meditation In blood-blackened soil The Holy Grove of Garth Around him rises saplings Of sacred green, they sprout Of sacred green, they sprout Hail Freyr, god of the earth Holy grove forest arise Heil Freyr, the God of the earth!
