Let Me In 10:09
I spend my days draped in sackcloth I wallow in the ashes of my empire the bones of my fathers lay strewn about like desecrated monuments still I shed no tears nor relinquish control let me in let me enter open up
2.
Catacombs 11:54
many long years I spent entombed with the dead I made my home among the bones of those long-past living and erected a throne of skulls I wove a cloak from an ancient darkness and set upon my head a crown of rotted teeth In deep torch-lit catacombs I wandered aimlessly with the rats I stripped the dead and hoarded all I found I ate of my own flesh and drank my own blood but still I thirsted endlessly and gnawed upon my tongue my dreams were filled with bright light and I was terrified then I heard a voice wake up, oh sleeper wake up cast off your heavy cloak and crown come down from your petty throne come forth show yourself step into the light trembling, I obeyed

Dark One 09:31
from cursed light I draw away and retreat back into my shadow realm where I languish in the gloom and fade into nothingness my heart is a crozzled shell and my blood is pitch flowing sluggishly through corroded channels I refuse the cup let it pass from me and be spilled upon the ground where the dogs may come to lap with filthy tongues I will not have your blood touch my lips or cover me like a beggar's rags I reject your worthless offers and spit upon your grace I will shut you out and be rid of you I will no longer bear your plague to seep into my wells or your words to fill my ears I am deaf to your banshee voice my dead skin will no longer feel your touch my mind, enveloped by the darkness and sunk into murky depths will remember your name no more
4.
High Tower 12:13
from my high tower I survey the work of my hands the fruit of my labor arrayed in all its glory but beneath the surface it's all begun to rot and at the edges everything is crumbling from my high tower I watch it all collapse I stretch out my hand only to see it wither before my eyes in the fading twilight encroaching shadows overtake my vision and a cold darkness sets in my bones a starless night engulfs the earth about my fragile lands and I am powerless to change a single thing in eerie calm and quiet a nameless terror scales the walls and brings with it a familiar dread a whispering in the night give up it's over you are conquered and defeated your kingdom is no more it was never yours
5.
Death Knell 16:17
my doom lurks just outside these walls slavering and pacing each footfall echoes like a death knell I can hear your lustful ragged breathing beckoning like a siren's call I will not go quietly I will not succumb meekly I cannot be moved I cannot be shaken though the mountains be shifted into the sea the highest towers toppled the sun be swallowed whole the stars be blotted out and the glaciers melted away I will yet remain like a pillar of creation but like a whimpering child I am dragged away pleading for mercy begging for grace
