Averse Sefira

Condemned To Glory

Averse Sefira


Our order mocked 
And cast aside 
This birthright realm, 
To a son of clay 
Reclamation of our 
Lost prominence 
Behold a vacant throne! 

Wretched! Loved by our hate! 
Weeping to a light finally failed 
Fall upon our spears 
And give praise 
We reward faith with 
Sanguine blessings 
Consent to kneel 
And find a winged king! 

Bear witness to the 
Triumph of the wing and blade! 
A new reign of tyranny 
In the absent lord's domain 

Speak no more! 
Of spoiled conquest 
Ashen in your mouth! 

Listen not! 
To blind supplication's 
Damnation! 

To wield the faith 
To conjure and kill 
Mere tools with which to reign? 

Insane and lost 
The sovereign fell 
And left us to decide 

Let them drink of the cup 
And taste the fire 
Let them eat of the flesh 
And be poisoned within 

Injurious glory 
Perilous acclaim 
Lost prominence regained 
A coronation of murdered souls 
To this... are we condemned
