The Beginning

Out of the silence, a voice begins to preach • Saying he’s the man that will change everything • His vision of future, in which he will not bow • But rule the others - as he tries doing now • Setting foundation for this new economy • Was none other than killing his enemies • Now he faces their mighty ghosts as they haunt him on through the night, making him want to die • "We know you plead for the destruction and war • We know you grieve, grieve for your soul • We feel deeply, that you're afraid of tomorrow • We'll hear your screams unless you end this terror" • "Go away you silhouettes, you are but the fairy queens! • I ruined your existence, I'll ruin your resting peace!" • "You better think of what you're saying, you old man! • How dare you confront the spirits of the dead? • Now we’ll enslave both you and your men • You all shall face the eternal judgement!" • "Seize them! Take them away!" • "Now you’ll face the judge - our eternal queen • You better beg for mercy or be doomed for eternity!" • "I will beg no one! Not you, nor the "queen"! • You all better beg me to kill you instantly!" • "Oh no, how can this be? His power is overwhelming me... • Run my allies... Run..." • "Destroy all, men! Destroy everything! • No one can stop us, We've got eternity! • Thank you, dear fairies for immortalising me! • Now I can doom mankind for all eternity!"

The Promise

Cold was the night when I was told of all miseries known to men • Secrets worth more than gold, I lost my soul then. • This grotesque tome of wretchedness held malevolent runes that showed me pain • All the pain and suffering that you shall obtain! • Misery to the world, I've come to spread • I'm your worst fear, from now till the last day • I am your pain and I'll be your death • I'll make you scream, now and always! • You'll remember grief that comes with my face • Your flesh I will tear, It's time for my reign! • All these ancient scrolls have shown me a new way, a way of grotesque endangering • I’m a deathless apparition which brings your end with solemnity and brutality • For what you have hoped that will be your end • That will bring you peace and rest in this reign • Will just make worse and pain will just blend • Blood in your tears will show (that) there's no way • To get off this carnival of the damned • No good will you gain under my command • You're of no worth if you're dead - not to me, 'cause I enjoy your pain and suffering • I'm the supreme core of evil in all being • I adore my monstrosity

The Horror

The stars are falling, the sky is burning, the end seems to be nigh • Every living creature is trembling, praying soon to die • The fire is spreading through the lands as a symbol of his reign • There’s nothing left but tantalising pain, will it ever end? • “As a servant in my kingdom you will need no soul, • So let it bleed and embrace the darkness while I take control. • Let mercury into your veins and may sulphur be your breath • For when it’s done you won’t be afraid of death, ever again” • ‘Cause when they’re dead • They rise again • The torture never ends • They’re screaming • For generations his rotten hordes executed terrors untold • Blasphemous prophecies were true: he’s never getting old! • Blessed with immortality and a mind set on sin • With sardonic wrath his hate is burning deeply from within • Appropriation of seven kingdoms is the only dream he ever had • His merciless fleet manned by lead-filled corpses is ready to cross the sea of blood • Non-conforming! • Dominantly marching forth, he’s reaching his goal • The unquestioned rule of the macrocosm as whole • Scorching the grounds and blazing is his campaign • His constitution only recognises pain • Never-ending pain

The Pact

On the reach of the fifth kingdom • An ominous darkness surrounds the road • My legion froze, completely lifeless • As my breath is getting cold • What is this force? Where am I now? • Who is denying my flaming crown? • Where is the road? Where did it go? • I can’t feel the rocks below • Show yourself to me! • In this night there is nothing that’s bright and I barely see the ashen light • An eclipse of the face protrudes from the dark, this ghastly face I recognise • How can this be? My eyes disagree, but standing right here, in front of me • Is the Eternal Queen with a face so pale and her eyes shut tight behind a veil • “Never again” were the only words that she said • As she opened her eyes, I was consumed by the sheer absence of humanity • Two vortices arise revealing the darkness where her soul used to be • Such a glorious sight excites me beyond my grasp of reality • Her icy skin sending chills from within, was she really once my enemy? • I hold her tight while my flame shines bright and her soul consumes all of the other light • For a while there was no sound, just a black sun high above the ground • Lightning splits the skies • Unites the power in our eyes • Fires ignite our breath • We transcend life and death • Her presence makes me feel like I could burn the world • We shall rule as the ageless tyrants in the everlasting afterworld • Perpetual cries of the baseborn are the hymn to our joint reign • With disdain we shall wipe the life off this horrid astral plane • Never again will you be left out of my plan • Never again! • I will lead you to conquer worlds • What is this force? Who am I now? • Who is this jewel inside my crown? • What is this soul? Where does it go? • This vile feeling I can’t control • The flames burn so cold, but the frostbite is hot • United we’re stronger than we thought • With our powers combined we will end all the lives • Of the breathing scum that’s still alive • All must die! • Pray for all to die!

The Battle

The night devoured the morning, the fires burnt the ground • A worthy foe on the battlefield was nowhere to be found • Armies fell and rose again, to serve them on their side • They march on with audacity that cannot be denied • Onto the last victory, they’re ready for the game • The closing play in this theatre of pain • The curtain shall come down when the last kingdom’s controlled • By eternal darkness, as the prophecy foretold • The last battalion of the fair • Quavering in despair • Their champion arose • “We must take no remorse • …in our own death” • They’re flying high, observing puppets on the stage • Every scene filling them with bitterness and rage • Putting all resources into the final fight • Vast armies stretch beyond the line of sight • The air is getting thick from the grizzling sounds • Of weapons slicing flesh and bodies hitting ground • Past the point of no return, the oath has been sworn • A new sea of blood is bound here to be formed • Have no fear, pain is here • Fire! Fire! • Liberating, everlasting, mesmerising flame • Fire! The flames grow higher • The soul-consuming. dominating messenger of pain • Fire! Fire! • Consumes the flesh, reduces to ash, all that’s in its way • Fire! Sings like a choir • There’s no escape from melodies of abysmal dismay • On the other side, in the haunting dark the Eternal Queen was ready to strike • Casting spells of unspeakable woe, each one more deadly as her power grows • A courageous guild started a coup • They ambushed the Queen with a magical cloud • Blinded by rage she let her guard down • With all their strength they vigorously fought • For hours on end, until she was caught • They dragged her far away from here, never to be found • She was put on a torture wheel, head facing the ground • For every fallen ally they threw a sack of stones • The ambiance was filled with the sound of her cracking bones • They hacked her into pieces, cut every vein • She couldn’t die but she felt excruciating pain • As the final step they set her body alight • Her immortal soul was crushed with this gruesome sight • Comatose • From pain receptors’ overdose • She couldn’t move or breathe • Her soul collapsed • She couldn’t stand it any more • And once again • She was dead • Her soul began the journey towards the sky • Leaving her torturers petrified • Impervious darkness covers the plains • No light will there ever shine again • The Flaming Crown felt a part of him die • Absurdly still hoping that she’s alive • Riding swiftly towards the cursed site • This fate he will not recognise • Approached • The place where once she stood • But all that was left • Was burnt flesh • Devoured by emotions, his madness reached new heights • Cathartically killing everything in sight • The gateway from the afterlife was permanently closed • No undead soldiers evermore arose • Enemies and allies were all wiped alike • Abidingly put down by his fatal strike • Over his own actions he lost all control • For where was his soul is now a massive hole • He won’t stop until they’re all dead • If he could, he would cut his own head • All the world united to try to take him down • But they failed to even touch his crown • How can you kill that which will not die • To whom the comfort of death is denied? • How do you crush that which has no soul • That lost its purpose and ultimate goal? • Waves of soldiers met their gruesome end • Some even by their own hand • They embrace their deaths as a welcome release • From this living hell stripped off any sort of peace • Now they’re all dead • The sea is full of lead • Sitting on the edge of a bloody shore • Of his sanity he slowly regains control • All around him are fields of corpses • In his mind he still hears their voices • Outcome of this battle, the final score • He lost all he was working for • After a deep thought, to him it occurred • He is now the ruler of (an) empty world

The Regret

It was less than a century ago when you came • Claiming your innocence • With words that our destinies are the same • Slowly they fade away... • Just the image of your burning flesh • ...burning, burning... • Now it’s the only thing on my mind • ...wish I left it all behind... • They slaughtered you for a wrong cause • Oh, how have I been blind... • I wish I was dead myself • So we could rule eternity, all again • Soon I'll be with you, my precious love • I will torture myself to death • To repay all I owe to you • I will come to you as pure as a God...
