Engulfed within the darkness In the ashes of glass Acquire the ancient tyrant's rule Opulence you blindly grasp Blood flows in the gutters Pain in the gallery As the frost of Hell burns cold So begins this drought of mercy Ritual invoked by fire's blaze Atrophied in the ice-desert haze Blood burnt iron forged unhallowed ground Obsidian the sound Drought of mercy, oppression's thirst Usurper returns for possession's curse An illusion, dreams of war Noblemen will hang no more Conquest and victory Power and might In mercy's drought A sacrifice this night Smite the usurper's ground Dark lords obeyed Triumph sets its runes in stone My fealty never strays Drought of mercy, opaque view Acquired the ancient tyrant's rule A feud to dominate Winter's fragments fornicate Ritual invoked by fire's blaze Atrophied in the ice-desert haze Blood burnt iron forged unhallowed ground Obsidian the sound Tenebrous ghoul Raven en masse All mercy's drought In the darkness of glass Blood burnt iron's wrath ablaze Cursed heat of icy haze Mercy's drought on sacred ground Obsidian in its sound Phantom embodies blackened shores Parched with thirst at mercy's door Dominions rage, the droughts arise Born to die for death at birth's demise
