"My pain is constant and sharp And I do not hope for a better world for anyone In fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others I want no one to escape" --- Patrick Bateman (American Psycho)
2.
Ages passed and battles won Countless conquered worlds now gone Here I rest on this lavish throne Forged from flesh and broken boneI carry not a single grief As these scarlets weep on bended knee Their lives, to me, mean nothing more Than their kin who dropped beneath my sword I am the breath that gives them life; the master of the cosmic sea I am the only constant being; the ruler of eternal shores These thwarted foes and rebel souls Seek to avenge the day they fell The day I silenced everything But the drone of the ever-ringing knell Their feeble lives will morrow cease At dawn my vengeance is reborn Below shall they forever sleep And dream of lust and war
3.
Elegant, emblazoned steel; a welcome boon from the unseen Sent deep within the freshly pierced skin of the enemy Callous onslaught reapsthe purest blood of sanctity This blessed day shall never leave their unremitting memories Take flight; summoned wind under your wings Mounted high, far above the living kingdoms Connoisseur of death, race to greet the opposition Elusive dream-beguiler, monstrous tamer of the terrene Fell, wretched eidolon, knower of space and time Oh, masterful and merciless, give them what they desire For they crave your blade rooted in their mouths And their innards scattered across the ground Seize the souls from their hearts Suck the air from their lungs Drain the marrow from their bones Draw the blood from their veins Bring them blight, bring them hate Show them no lenity, no gift of life Leave them utterly ruined, marred, and spoiled And cast their rot across the fields of the dead

Be there no query of the strength of men Of fearsome men that trod the land With sword in hand and shield they stand The mark of might that bears the clan Set high, this frozen world they span But in the lands that lie below A hatred grows almost unknown But written of in ancient lore A world once theirs, now scorched by wars A place where lost souls find no rest The heart of life dug from its chest As a being that was once alive From 'neath its corpse death now shall rise Beneath the ashen grave The hatred takes its form A blackened mass; a vision so maligned Now to the north they storm Searing screams are heard From the depths of the lower lands A call to arms is raised, raised high The steel within man's hands The hatred makes its presence; now begins the epic clash Of bone, blood, steel, and flame'til all that's left is ash

A bell resounds, my dreams abound With sundered sights and vexing sounds Erratic sleep; my conscience bleeds A squalid mire of stale debris The wraith it came the night before O'er the lane and through my door On its grating breath, a note it bore A note just like the night before "Arise from sleep", it spoke to me with dripping tongues and gaping teeth" The eve is nigh, the time is near, look to the sky in seven years. The sea will rise, the earth will heave the kings of nine will downward sweep On thrones of porous ivory, the heads of men under their feet." "A dream, no doubt", I thought aloud Patting sweat atop my brow Relieved to be awake and free Of horrid dreams and restless sleep I rubbed my eyes but trembled for I found a pair of gaping sores Affright, I yelled a ghastly roarI dug them out the night before

Surge of sin shall mortals quell A soulless deep; the inner shell No man shall sleep nor dream again Of the blackened fringe of sorrow's den Malicious plague of legend sweeps Beyond the hallowed winter's shore A legion born of the frozen keep Shall be left alone in peace no moreIce-born fury; Sender of souls to the algid heath Spare them not For their flesh is but bitter meat No skin of sheep in the sun shall bask When their bones are beneath your trodden path
10.
Gathered hordes bear feast at the cavern entrance Raw flesh dragged in heaps to the sleeping titan Throng of demons stream into the opening Brood surrounds the slumbering, sullen king Human meat piled high Banshees flock from the sky Offerings gather mass All to appease his wrath Silence now rules the shrine Legions kneel and pass the time "Stench of death, from flesh arise Lord of rage, open your eyes" Mortal realm Swallowed by unholy pride Trampled land, Heathen tongue leaves oceans dry Lord of battles rise to hear your army's cry Kumbhakarna, your enemies have come to die The awakening (of Kumbhakarna) Spirits, souls, apparitions writhing Screaming ghouls to his will abiding Banshees wail, anger boils inside him Frenzied hate, Kumbhakarna rising
11.
Profanation spoken in the ritual arena A martyr’s willful death in honor of the reviled Learning of the sacrifice, an angry god resounds A lock of hair pulled from his head and dashed to the ground A Black Demon is summoned; the dreadful Virabhadra takes form Risen from the earth, brandishing one thousand arms Hateful incarnation, the bane of life itself Bore his teeth as a scowl furrowed his brow Adorned with the heads of men, he hulked amongst the clouds Followed by a horde of beasts and foul demons birthed from hell A blazing wrath had been unleashed, his might could kill Death himself A tumultuous roar was heard in the distance Conceivably signaling the world’s end An infinite terror struck their depraved hearts Hysteria commenced as they ran for their lives
