Zodiacal Ascent
Firm opposer of authority
Untainted by ambition, envy and revenge
Moral perfection, noble ends
Struggle against hopeless odds
Condemnation the reward for the progress of man
Courage and majesty, the shadows´ descent
Drawn from the skies, zodiacal ascent
Loyalty to tyranny
The limiters, the oppressors
At odds with the will, rely on their might
Securing their reign, false domination
Dark supremacy, the shadowy relics that rule
Courage and majesty, the shadows´ descent
Drawn from the skies, zodiacal ascent
Courage and majesty, the shadows´ descent
Drawn from the skies, zodiacal ascent

Cabal
Achieve the objectives, further the plans
Shrouded in secrecy, triumphators
Destiny scripted behind the veil
Written in blood by dividers
Novus ordo, Saturnia regna
The mundane corridors now stand architected
Into strange labyrinths, changing pathways
Steering, re-directing
Leading nowhere, wretched pathways
Novus ordo, Saturnia regna
The dividers, the unifiers
The conquerors, the triumphators
World dividers and unifiers
World conquerors, veiled triumphators
Cabal

The Wretch

The Wretch
The punishment a consequence of the theft of fire
Sentenced to torment infinite for this transgression
Jupiterian curse and the forgiveness released
Shall cleanse the world of tyranny
In the golden age of Saturn
Graces abandoned, graces abandoned
The graces have abandoned the earth, absent judicial oaths
Acts of piety or rules of conduct, recognized by none
Graces abandoned, graces abandoned
The wretch, the wretch
None revere, restraint is gone
Wretch, wretch
None revere, restraint is gone
Consequence of the theft of fire
Sentenced for this transgression
The wretch, the wretch
None revere, restraint is gone

Emblemata
Mute images never the less speaking
Value within matters insignificant
History hinges upon details
Single factors altered morphs the outcome
Sentient stream darkens the aura
The sourceless light burns with smokeless fire
Sentient mindstream darkening the aura
Emblemata, rise beyond appearance
Dialogue with the stars brought the answers
Solving our questions never uttered
For the riddles behind the veil obscures
Reasons and motives for creation
Sentient stream darkens the aura
The sourceless light burns with smokeless fire
Sentient mindstream darkening the aura
Emblemata, rise beyond appearance
Firmament emblemata, sourceless light
Underlying substrata

Emblemata, rise beyond appearance

Emblemata, rise beyond appearance
Firmament emblemata, sourceless light

Origin of Woe
Salus
Every plague escaped
Concordia
from the urn
Aequitas
The jar of ills
Clementia
Only hope remained
Libertas
once the lid was replaced
Felicitas
One thread from the weave
Pax
of universal blessings
Virtus
Pandora`s box opened
Laetitia
by Psyche divine
Spes
The last virtue
Origin of woe

Stelliferous Age
Within the framework of history cosmological
Vast stretches of periodization
Between desolation and evaporization
Consequence of emergent complexities
Spawned from the primordial
Transition from energy domination
To the crowning of matter and its observers
Structured framework irreligious
Major events contemporaneous
Stretching outward hyperstitious
Process observed in the stelliferous age

Scornclad
The theft of fire from heaven
Embodied by the fall of the lightbearer
Symbolizing enlightenment
And resistance to despotic authority
Enlightenment and resistance to despotic authority
Triumphant transcendence
Misotheist accusation and defiance
Archetypal images replaced
Metaphors soar from myth to reality
Triumphant transcendence, misotheist defiance
Scornclad
