And He Shall Walk In Empty Places

Ihsahn


Of all rejected creatures unloved 
of all who defy the predestination 
that divides mankind 
into the saved and damned 
he was the first 

The lurking punishment 
with blood he did reveal 
Death 
And through the ages run 
a river deep and red 
the ever present heirs 
for whom there is no rest 

And he shall walk in empty places 
with a claim on destiny and self at hand 
An endless journey towards the rising son 

Towards the rising sun 

"Remember this, you others; 
The fire and the fury, 
the strength and defiance, 
this you admire, this you desire 
I had to win them for myself" 

In remebrance of the adversary 
I conjure up the lion will; 
Hungered Violent Solitary Godless
