Slayeress Of Kings lyrics

Song information

Artist: Anael
Album: On Wings Of Mercury

Lyrics

Cycle has come to another end
Macha's birds chant for regicide

[Refrain:]
The ancient oath must be fullfilled
Before his spirit's candle grows faint
The blood of kings tonight shall be spilled
Before his vigour shows a first stain

Sharpen the blade, crescent of lunar silver
Horns of the minotaur
Rite of the axe, key to her labyrinth
Mingle eternally
Cast down to sleep, all those who reign
In ruinous decadence
Great ivory queen, shall ride the beast
Once again

[Refrain]

"Descend into the void, where threefold mater
Thrones in solitude"
*To dance towards the monolith
Great mother reaps his divine soul,*
*To dance the spiral outward with
A grain divine for a king reborn*
"Arise again from nothingness, to bear the
Primordial fate"
The stones begin to sing their song of vengeance
The horn-crowned scapegoats govern far too long
The peasants sweep clean the battlefields and
The children of night behead all horizons
