And a Colder Breed - KRAKE

Harken children of reverence it speaks

A wakening call, a thundering voice!

In the face of fatality grown weak

With the salvation of this world at hand rejoice

Era of indignity, condemn this age of atrophy

Consuming body and soul, neither no longer whole

Gaunt from strife and burden lain over broken backs

Still bearing the spoken word, no longer to be heard

Behold the whores clinging to existence’s jagged edge

Leeches on th godless who never swor no pledge

Now grasping at glass saints, all under the same curse

The demise of innocence, betrayed by the devout

Raped and battered by man, and by the sword snuffed out

Twisted fingers point to you in guilt to be immersed

Follow the waning pulse as it over compassion leaps

In darkness deep must seek, wherein the beast sleeps

Cast out the last of warmth, make way for unchained verity

Bleed all lingering doubt, seize the thorn and shed from eye to see

Era of prosperity, celebrate the age of clarity

No pity saved for slaves, benevolence dug all their graves

Revere the dead and dying reversed for kin and clan

Rise, never fall, and above all you must stand tall

The verdict reads clear for everyone to hear

To ascend awake and rally by the austere

Purged festering hearth, quickening the seed

It calls for ruthlessness, surpassing that of fiends

For all to secure this creed by any means

The world await as you bring forth a colder breed
